The business environment today is more complex than the earlier days. The success of every business even in yesteryears depended on the principle of providing the right information or product to the right people at the right time. However, today’s globalized business environment with stress on centralization, and mobilization makes it a complex one.
To be at an advantage, it becomes necessary for organizations to not only improve customer service but also ensure easy faster access and response to various application delivery and business intelligence. Besides being globally accessible also demands for effective security measures against threats to users, systems and applications. Availability of on-demand application delivery, a secure web gateway and easy access to critical business info are vital components for a successful business.
Further with expanse of applications required by the global organizations, results in increase of IT infrastructure. However, to control the expenses on IT infrastructure and related overhead cost, organizations tend to centralize the flow of data and applications from the data centers. An application delivery controller is a device placed in a data center between the firewall and one or more application servers.
The first-generation of controllers were primarily meant for application acceleration and load balancing between servers. However, the new technology based application controllers cover wider functions from widespread data centers and are capable of a more holistic method of functioning resulting in application delivery networking. This facilitates consistent availability of the applications and thus increases productivity. Other features of found in the new age application delivery controllers include, compression, cache, connection multiplexing, application layer security, SSL offload and content switching combined with fundamental server load balancing.
The application delivery controllers with its energy-efficient components, excellent ethernet connectivity and state-of-the-art multi-core processing cater to both SME’s as well as global organizations. Further, equipped with cutting edge technologies and industry leading features such as scalability, cloud level performance, application control, optimization and security these are structured for modern data centers.
