Cisco ACE to Radware’s Alteon Migration Mapping Guide

Use this paper to select the Alteon ADC platform that best fits your project requirements.

This paper outlines the recommended migration path from Cisco ADC devices (either ACE appliance/module, CSS, CSM or GSS) to Radware’s Alteon next-generation platform – the Alteon 5224.

Moreover, thanks to Alteon’s ADC-VX™ virtualization technology, several Cisco devices can be consolidated into a single platform to reduce CAPEX and OPEX – while easily allowing the migration of Cisco virtual contexts to Alteon vADC instances.
