A10 Networks’ Fourth Generation of Appliances Feature the Industry’s Fastest ADC in a Single Rack Unit
April 2016 by Marc Jacob
A10 Networks announced six new Thunder Series appliances, including the industry’s fastest single rack unit ADC. The new fourth-generation offerings expand customer choice for entry-level, upper mid-range and high-end appliances. The company’s portfolio of appliances provides even greater price/performance -with scalability to 220 Gbps of traffic per second, 10.5 million connections per second, and defense for over 300 million DDoS attacks per second. The fourth-generation Thunder appliances scale and secure the most demanding data center applications and networks.
The unrelenting growth of data center traffic, the Internet of Things (IoT), and increased security requirements from mobile, cloud, and web is creating a continuous demand for higher performance and scalable data center infrastructure solutions. The new Thunder Series appliances are based on A10’s innovative ACOS Harmony platform, which delivers industry-leading performance to price. All ACOS-based appliances leverage a data center efficient design, consuming less power, cooling, and rack space — critically important metrics for organizations.
