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

About A10 Networks A10 Networks (NYSE: ATEN) is a leader in application networking,

providing a range of high-performance application networking

solutions that help organizations ensure that their data center

applications and networks remain highly available, accelerated and

secure. Founded in 2004, A10 Networks is based in San Jose, Calif., and

serves customers globally with offices worldwide.

The company has more than 3900 customers in 65 countries, including

3 of the 4 top U.S. wireless carriers, 7 of the 10 top U.S. cable providers

and the top 3 wireless carriers in Japan. The company has earned

numerous awards, including Best of Microsoft TechEd 2014: Best

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.

Products

The Advanced Core Operating System (ACOS)

At the center of the A10 product offering is the Advanced Core

Operating System (ACOS®), which serves as the high-performance,

application-aware networking platform for all A10 products. ACOS

is the industry’s first application networking OS that is optimized for

64-bit, multicore processors that can scale performance linearly with

increasing CPU/processor density, enabling customers to meet rapidly

growing application networking performance scalability requirements.

Thunder Series Product Family

In 2013, the company launched the premium performance A10

Thunder® Series product family, delivering our highest performance

application networking solutions up to 155 Gbps, integrating expanded

system resources to support future feature needs, and offering a broad

array of physical, virtual and hybrid form factors. A10 Thunder Series

hardware appliances perform resource-intensive perimeter functions,

such as VXLAN and NVGRE tunnel encapsulation or decapsulation,

SSL offload and volumetric DDoS attack prevention, at the data center

service edge.

Leveraging the ACOS platform, the Thunder Series includes three

product lines that address a range of customer needs:

Thunder Series ADC

A next-generation Application Delivery Controller

product line that accelerates and secures data center

applications and networks

Thunder Series CGN

A Carrier-Grade NAT product line that provides large-

scale address and protocol translation services for

carrier networks

Thunder Series TPS

A Threat Protection System product line that provides

detection and mitigation against Distributed Denial of

Service (DDoS) cyber attacks.

ACOS
