A10 Networks Announces Ultra-High Capacity Software for SDN and NFV Deployments
April 2018 by Marc Jacob
A10 Networks announced ultra-high
capacity software solutions in both virtual and bare metal versions for high
performance application delivery with the industry’s highest level of security.
A10’s high-speed 3rd Generation SSL processing with advanced cipher support has
now been incorporated into the bare metal solution. The new solutions expand
support for A10 Application Delivery Controllers
(ADCs), Carrier Grade Networking
(CGN) and Converged Firewall with SSL Insight
(CFW) platforms, and are
available.
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 multitude of benefits include:
· Augment high capacity hardware with more agile software with faster
procurement and deployment cycle, superior scalability, lower cost and easier
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. Both support 32 Application Delivery
Partitions (ADPs) for unprecedented multi-tenancy.
· Thunder Bare Metal solution also supports latest generation of ECC ciphers
with the highest SSL transaction rates. Capable of up to an unprecedented 60,000
connections per second on Custom off the Shelf (COTS) servers.
· Full support validation on numerous commercial off-the-shelf servers and
interoperable with leading SDN controllers and private cloud orchestration tool
suits.
· Central management, orchestration and analytics support from A10 Harmony®
Controller.
Highlights of the A10 Networks offerings available on ACOS v4.1.4:
· New 40 and 100 Gbps vThunder for ADC, CGN and CFW and 60 Gbps options on
Thunder Bare Metal for ADC and CGN.
· 3rd generation SSL capabilities on Bare Metal including advanced ECC ciphers
such as ECDSA (P256/P384/521).
