Application
Delivery Challenge: The
Paper
Network managers need a solution that solves today's challenge. Application Delivery architecture provides the road map for a successful data center and IT implementation. Application delivery architecture moves the focus from switching and routing packets to providing a fast application response time along with security. Network managers must implement an infrastructure that understands the applications. Overtime a full deployed application deliver infrastructure will be present throughout the network but the most important first implementation of the new architecture is in the data center. Fulfilling this critical function is an Application Front End.
In the pages that follow, three of the top AFE vendors – Juniper Networks, Netli and Blue Coat Systems – explain what they do and, most importantly, address the following questions:
|
|
What makes their AFE solution the best? |
|
|
What combination of features or technology sets their solution apart from the others? |
|
|
What problem or situation is their AFE best designed for? Is it high throughput, superior security, low operating cost, fastest acceleration or richest server features? |
In this section of the challenge, each sponsor replies
to the challenge presented by Robin Layland, highlighting why they believe that
their unique approach to application delivery makes their products the best
choice for users to implement.
