Trends
Demands placed on
Network
From static to elastic
Legacy Datacenter
Constantly behind
Network-focused
Overprovisioned
Console-managed
Complex to change
DMZ for security
Cloud Datacenter
Constantly redefined
Application-focused
Click-to-update
Automated and orchestrated
Services-oriented

So why keep anything on-premise?
Scale
– When you have scale that makes on premise
cheaper than cloud based
Security
– When you have unique security or
regulatory requirements
Attributes of Datacenter.next
What does success look like?
Leverages
cloud
where it makes clear sense
Managed services and
service levels
– not simply systems and networks
Application-focused
networking and
service chaining
SLA’s define minimum service requirements –
frugal, not cheap
Trust
and predictable behavior persists through
multiple state changes

Keep the Lights On
Ensure service availability
• Global Server Load Balancing (GSLB) • Clustering and high availability
• Priority Queuing for application-level QoS management
Protect critical services
Advanced Threats
Block web-specific attacks
• Web Application Firewall
- Protects HTTP, XML, SQL, dynamic content and session state (including cookies)
• HTTP re-write and Responder
- Custom request/response policies tuned to application and security needs
• Enable Always-on SSL protection!
Stop modern malware
• Integrated protection from anti-malware to IDS/IPS - and beyond

Control enterprise access
• Full Proxy Gateway
- Provides SSL/VPN and mobility enablement, including SmartAccess and micro-VPN for XenMobile
• AAA, SAML and enterprise directory integration
- SSO and interoperability across enterprise and SaaS apps
• Centralized policy enforcement across distributed apps and services
• NITRO RESTful API
Prove Business Value
A holistic view of web properties
• AppFlow and HDX Insight
- Application-level telemetry and analytics
• Integrated PCI DSS config and compliance reports • Multitenant service delivery with SDX
Enabling enterprise agility
• Connect public and private clouds with CloudBridge • Run web properties in the cloud with VPX

ADC: Accelerate, Scale, Optimize Applications
Signalling Load Balancing
Scale performance of PCRF, OCS, SPR, AAA, DNS and SIP
servers Scale performance of
web servers, in-line proxies and data bases
Balance load across data centers for performance and availability Global Server Load Balancing Application Load Balancing DNS Caching Enhance performance DNS servers and protect against DDoS
Enhance performance of ADNS infrastructure
Authoritative DNS
SPDY
Streamlines web object downloads for non SPDY server endpoints
Multipath TCP
Maintains TCP sessions when moving between
WiFi & 3G/4G
Web Compression
Consolidate SSL transactions to accelerate and scale
SSL Offload
Speed up web page downloads and decrease bytes
TCP protocol level tuning for quicker application transport
