DESCRIPTION
High performance application delivery networking, DDoS protection, DDoS attack mitigation, and network load balancing solutions by A10 Networks Visit: https://www.a10networks.com/TRANSCRIPT
In today’s data center, complex new virtualization and cloud data center technologies are being deployed. More users are accessing data from a rapidly expanding array of devices, and broadband wireless and smartphone proliferation is driving rapid growth in data volume. IT organizations must maintain application availability, scale their current infrastructure, consolidate resources and keep networks secure.
At the same time, increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks threaten security and make the task of providing access to legitimate users more challenging. Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks have grown dramatically in frequency, size and complexity. While organizations have existing security strategies in place that mitigate a range of security threats, they are not sufficient enough to address new breeds of DDoS attacks that are difficult to detect and mitigate.
To tackle these challenges, companies need to scale system performance with rapidly escalating network backbone speeds. More issues will arise, and those equipped with scalable, efficient and flexible networking solutions will successfully keep pace. A10 Networks can help.
CORPORATE BACKGROUNDER

Breakthrough Technology, Attendees’ Pick out of all 250 Vendors and
Best of Interop Japan 2014: Performance Optimization, DDoS Mitigation.
Key StrengthsA10 Networks’ portfolio of application-layer networking products assure
user-to-application connectivity is available, accelerated and secure:
Availability
A10 application servers and networks are reliably accessible, regardless
of user, device type, location or connectivity. They shield network
resources from volumetric resource attacks intended to deny service,
and bridge the accessibility gap so legacy services using IPv4 address
space are accessible to devices using the new IPv6 standard, and vice
versa.
Acceleration
A10 products improve website and application performance with
extremely high-performance application-aware load balancing,
including server offload functions such as content caching, connection
multiplexing, compression and SSL (encryption) offload. These services
are delivered at massive scale, up to 1 Tbps with the aVCS™ virtual
chassis system.
Security
A10 delivers a range of security features that decrypt, authenticate and
inspect application flows, then detect and mitigate the growing array
of sophisticated cyber security attacks that threaten availability of the
largest websites and networks around the world.
