THUNDER ADC

APPLICATION DELIVERY CONTROLLER & LOAD BALANCER

Offering a complete application optimization solution, A10 Thunder® ADC (Application Delivery Controller) processes a complex set of functions simultaneously via the industry’s highest-performing appliances. It integrates advanced L4-7 techniques to ensure server availability, protect vulnerable applications and accelerate content delivery.

AGILE APPLICATION DELIVERY & SECURITY

From SMBs and large enterprises to service providers and cloud operators, organizations are hosting a large and rapidly growing set of mission-critical applications. A purpose-built solution, A10 Thunder® ADC ensures these applications are highly available, accelerated and secure. It helps reduce downtime, ensure business continuity and builds highly available applications and environments.

Thunder ADC delivers the capacity, scalability, multi-tenancy and programmability to adjust to an everchanging environment. Consolidate point products, reduce network complexity and achieve a substantial reduction in TCO. Thunder ADC delivers L4-7 load balancing and multiple layers of security via web and DNS app firewalls, single sign-on (SSO) authentication and in-depth support for advanced encryption, including high-performance PFS/ECC. Built upon A10’s Advanced Core Operating System (ACOS®) platform, Thunder ADC delivers application performance and security for any environment.

ENHANCE APPLICATION AVAILABILITY

Organizations must guarantee their applications are constantly accessible. Thunder ADC utilizes multiple loadbalancing techniques to efficiently distribute workloads across all servers while constantly evaluating application health. Client requests are forwarded to servers that host the proper content and can best respond to ensure application and content delivery.

ENSURE BUSINESS CONTINUITY

With data centers proliferating worldwide, administrators must maintain around-the-clock global operational integrity. To guarantee cohesion and optimize app delivery among diverse sites, Thunder ADC provides advanced global server load balancing (GSLB) between locations. GSLB provides optimal site selection and status to ensure disaster recovery.

ACCELERATE CONTENT DELIVERY

Applications must be responsive — no matter the location — to ensure a superior end-user experience, enhanced remote employee productivity and SLA mandates are exceeded. Thunder ADC overcomes the inherent WAN latencies, inefficient software programs and chatty protocols to provide fast and responsive service. Clients obtain a fast experience while organizations gain a competitive advantage.

SECURE COMMUNICATIONS

Internet sessions are rapidly adopting encryption to secure online data transport. Clients and servers, meanwhile, negotiate the most secure and complex methods mutually supported. Thunder ADC front-ends servers and offloads cumbersome, processing-intensive tasks associated with the latest cryptographic standards. This maximizes content protection, speeds delivery and lowers infrastructure expenses.

PROTECT VULNERABLE APPLICATIONS

Software development and testing can catch most, but typically not all, coding flaws. The resulting applications are susceptible to attacks that cannot be blocked by intrusion prevention systems (IPS), next-generation firewalls or sandboxing. Businesses lose revenue, suffer damaged brand reputation and confidential information is stolen. Thunder ADC provides protection against ‘zero day’ and other emerging application layer threats with DNS and web application firewalls.

OPTIMIZE APPLICATIONS VIA MULTI-TENANCY

To optimize the delivery and security for potentially hundreds of apps in a given data center, IT administrators need a multi-tenant methodology. Thunder ADC provides the ability to granularly program more than 1,000 individual partitions on a single appliance for tailor-made policies by application, service or user, as well as achieve appliance consolidation

CONSOLIDATE ACCESS CONTROL

Organizations must allow external clients access to web portals, internal resources and mobile/BYOD apps. At the same time, security must be maintained with authentication and be transparent to the user. Thunder ADC centrally manages multiple facets of authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA) with a systemwide perspective, while eliminating separate authentication points, for a single sign-on (SSO) experience.
