<strong>Twice</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Performance</strong> <strong>at</strong> <strong>Half</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Price</strong><strong>Revolutionary</strong> <strong>New</strong> ArchitectureInnov<strong>at</strong>ive, Advanced Fe<strong>at</strong>uresAll Fe<strong>at</strong>ures IncludedThe AX Series Advanced Traffic Manager family from A10Networks is designed to meet <strong>the</strong> growing demands of Websites, carriers and enterprises. The AX offers intelligent Layer4-7 applic<strong>at</strong>ion processing capabilities with industry-leadingperformance and scalability to meet critical business requirements<strong>at</strong> competitive prices.The AX Series’ unique Advanced Core Oper<strong>at</strong>ing System(ACOS) offers true scalable performance. With rich Layer 7fe<strong>at</strong>ures and its aFleX scripting language, <strong>the</strong> AX Seriesintegr<strong>at</strong>es into any d<strong>at</strong>a center to enable advanced Webapplic<strong>at</strong>ion delivery solutions. The AX also includes <strong>the</strong> mostcomprehensive set of IPv6 and Network Address Transl<strong>at</strong>ion(NAT) fe<strong>at</strong>ures of any Advanced Applic<strong>at</strong>ion Delivery Controller(ADC) on <strong>the</strong> market today.AX’s advanced server load balancing and flexible health monitoringcapabilities ensure applic<strong>at</strong>ion availability and reliability.With <strong>the</strong> AX Series’ standard redundant components and highavailability design, organiz<strong>at</strong>ions ensure non-stop service availabilityfor all types of applic<strong>at</strong>ions. With <strong>the</strong> AX Series’ line r<strong>at</strong>esecurity defenses and secure email fe<strong>at</strong>ures, organiz<strong>at</strong>ions cannow deploy d<strong>at</strong>a center wide protection against network-level<strong>at</strong>tacks to ensure business continuity for critical services.2309 Bering Drive, San Jose, CA 95131, USA | www.a10networks.com | © 2011 A10 Networks, Inc.
