Array Networks Unveils New Virtualized Application Delivery Appliances and Software Application Delivery Controllers

Array Networks Unveils New Virtualized Application Delivery Appliances and
Software Application Delivery Controllers
APV Series virtualized appliances and vAPV soft-ADCs give enterprises and service providers unmatched
flexibility and improved economics for private and public cloud services.
MILPITAS, CA-June 20, 2012- Array Networks Inc., a global leader in application delivery networking,
today announced the immediate availability of its new APV 800 Series multi-tenant virtualized
application delivery appliances and vAPV soft-ADCs. Powered by Array's award-winning 64-bit
SpeedCoreTMplatform, these new products give enterprises and service providers the ability to run
multiple instances of Array APV Series application delivery controllers on Array's purpose-built hardware
appliances or as virtual machines on commodity servers running VMware ESXi or Citrix's XenServer
hypervisors.
APV 800 Series virtualized appliances are defined by their ability to support multiple high-performance
vAPV application delivery controller instances. For example, on an appliance running 5 independent
instances, each instance can support up to 4Gbps throughput, 100K L4 connections per second and 14K
SSL transactions per second. Moreover, each vAPV instance on the Array 800 Series virtual appliance
supports all of the features and functions found on Array's dedicated hardware APV 600 Series
application delivery controllers.
For cloud and managed hosting service providers, these new virtualized appliances deliver tremendous
advantages for offering infrastructure services. Not only do the new APV Series appliances enable
consolidation by packing more load balancers into less space, they also cost far less to purchase, deploy
and maintain than dedicated appliances. Deploying APV virtualized appliances, service providers can
offer their customers services that strike the right balance of on-demand flexibility, performance,
features and price - while simultaneously lowering capex and opex and increasing profit margins.
In addition to running on Array's virtualized APV 800 Series appliances, vAPV soft-ADCs also run on virtual
infrastructure and commodity hardware for an even greater level of flexibility in service deployment.
Supporting both VMware ESXi 4.1 or laterand XenServer5.6 or later, vAPV soft-ADCs give enterprises and
service providers the agility and flexibility to create and offer dynamic application services, including:

Spinning up and spinning down load balancing and traffic management services on-demand,
utilizing compute resources on an as-needed basis to cost-effectively meet performance and
scale-out requirements

Enabling consistent, reliable load balancing and traffic management services wherever they are
needed across multiple data centers and hybrid public-private cloud environments

Deploying load balancing and traffic management in the cloud that is 100% compatible with the
enterprise data center

Enabling development and testing of new application services that seamlessly deploy on either an
Array appliance or virtualized commodity servers

Profitably offering metered load balancing and traffic management services based on timeframe,
throughput and other metrics
Like dedicated Array APV 600 and 800 Series application delivery controllers, vAPV soft-ADCs provides
the same feature-rich load balancing and next-generation capabilities including 1024 and 2048-bit SSL
acceleration, caching, compression, gold-level IPv6 certification, WebWall security, QoS and centralized
