Includes geographic and network proximity metrics
Multi-Site Load Balancing Disaster Recovery
A device or mechanism that helps improve the
performance of centralized applications while reducing delay and response time.
Most popular methods of Application
Acceleration
TCP Optimization
SSL Offload
RAM Caching
Problem: Excessive TCP connection management overhead can overwhelm the server farm and reduce overall performance
Server Connections
Solution: Connection Reuse (TCP Multiplexing) to offload TCP connection setup and tear down from the server farm
Net Effect: Reduction in connections, improved response
Title
No Connection Reuse
Time to load page = 16.8s
With Connection Reuse
Time to load page = 1.4s
Connection Reuse Effects

Gain Extra Capacity with Optimization Versus Server Purchases
Compute intensive
SSL traffic is
offloaded by AX Series hardware
Simpler certificate
management
Servers support
many more
transactions per second
Reduced operational
expense
Faster Page Loads Equal More Revenue
RAM Cached objects
served from the AX versus a trip to the Web server
Benefits
Reduce connections and
server requests
Reduce servers due to
offloaded traffic
Faster response to the
Compression to Optimize Any Bandwidth Level
Reduces transmission size for HTTP
Between AX and the end user
International, mobile, legacy devices etc.
Compound acceleration in conjunction with RAM Caching
Benefits
Provides network optimization = bandwidth
savings up to 70% for compressed objects
Eliminates Web server CPU cycles
Reduce required number of web servers Increases end to end performance while
reducing costs
1Mb 300Kb

Distributed
Denial of
Service (DDoS) Protection to block attacks
Attacker infects Zombie Zombie machines send traffic with spoofed IP
address of unsuspecting site
Servers’ resources are consumed until servers cannot process any more connections

Provides a simple way to provide redirect
In this example users are redirected from
www.a10networks.com to
www.a10networks/oss/signup.php
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::uri] equals "/" } {
HTTP::redirect http://[HTTP::host]/oss/
signup.php
} Request Redirection
GUI (Graphical User Interface)
Fewer screens and steps for tasks Intuitive and easy to use
CLI (Command Line Interface)
Industry standard CLI
Easy to use, comprehensive help
