high capacity software solutions
/////////////////////////////
A
10 Networks, a Reliable Security
Always company, has announced
ultra-high capacity software solutions
in both virtual and bare metal versions for
high performance application delivery and
the industry’s highest level of security.
A10’s high-speed third generation SSL
processing with advanced cipher support has
now been incorporated into the bare metal
solution, with the new solutions expanding
support for A10 Application Delivery
Controllers (ADCs), Carrier Grade Networking
(CGN) and Converged Firewall with SSL
Insight (CFW).
Mohammed Al-Moneer, Regional
Director, MENA at A10 Networks, said:
“Businesses are adopting SDN and NFV
based virtualisation technologies for rapid
deployment of applications, improved
operational agility and overall reduction of
operational expenses.
“However, many enterprise applications
are business-critical with strict compliance
and end-user experience requirements.
Such business-critical applications demand
virtualised infrastructure to assure higher
performance, scalability and security needs.
“A10’s new high capacity software solutions
enable organisations experiencing hyper
growth including service providers, web
hosting and large enterprises to migrate
to SDN and NFV based topologies for
application delivery and security services,
while ensuring the highest level of session
security between client and server with
industry leading SSL capacity.”
The nature of the end-user content delivered
is also undergoing a paradigm shift. The
percentage of this traffic that is encrypted
is surpassing 70% with the majority of

that (over 80%) based on advanced elliptic
curve cryptography (ECC) using Perfect
Forward Secrecy (PFS). IT is forced to support
advanced ciphers at high throughput and
transaction rates.
These new A10 virtual and Thunder Bare
Metal solutions are the most effective way
to leverage software for app delivery. The
benefits include:

installation and management
• Industry leading processing capacity
for ADC, CGN and CFW platforms. The
vThunder solution supports 100 Gbps of
sustained L7 throughput, Thunder Bare
Metal solution supports 60 Gbps and
both support 32 Application Delivery
Partitions (ADPs) for unprecedented
multi-tenancy
• Thunder Bare Metal solution also
supports the latest generation of ECC
ciphers with the highest SSL transaction
rates. Capable of up to an unprecedented
60,000 connections per second on
