A10 Networks’ New Third-generation SSL/TLS Solutions at the Heart of
Award Winners, Demonstrating Landmark Performance and Support of
Advanced Encryption Technologies
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
A10
Networks (NYSE:ATEN), a Secure Application Services™ company,
announced today it has been awarded the Interop Tokyo Best of Show Grand
Prize in the Performance Optimization category for the A10
Thunder 4440S ADC. A10 Networks was also awarded Second Prize for A10
Thunder 14045 CGN in the Carrier/ISP Networking category.
Both awards validate the performance of A10’s third-generation
SSL/TLS solutions, which were announced globally earlier this week
and spotlighted heavily at Interop Tokyo. The new SSL/TLS solutions are
included in the new A10 Thunder models, which deliver nearly twice
the performance of comparable products from competitors for advanced
encryption, dramatically reducing the cost per connection. These
third-generation SSL/TLS products outperform competitors in connections
per second (CPS), bulk throughput, and other key areas. They also
support modern ciphers and technologies, including Elliptical Curve
Cryptography (ECC) and Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS), which
are used by 85 percent of encrypted traffic.
Interop Tokyo Best of Show Awards recognize the excellence of
participating companies' products that have been released in 2017.
Awards are given to the most outstanding products and services on
display at Interop Tokyo, following the judging process by influential
members of the IT industry.
A10 Networks Thunder 4440S Awarded Best of Show Grand Prize for
Performance Optimization
According to the judges, the A10 Thunder 4440S ADC improves performance
and meets the increasing demands of PFS. The judges added that the new
Thunder 4440S ADC performed 1.5 times faster than competitors’ products
in the same price range.
In a live demonstration that ran for more than nine continuous hours,
the A10 Thunder 4440S ADC showed unwavering stability with no recorded
failures – unsuccessful connections were zero. In the demo, A10 was the
only vendor that showed it can offer high-performance SSL acceleration
using PFS, which requires three times the computing resources than RSA.
A10 was able to demonstrate 42,000 SSL connections per second using the
cipher TLS1_ECDHE_ECDSA_AES_128_SHA256.
A10 Networks Thunder 14045 Wins Second Prize for Carrier/ISP
Networking
According to the Interop Tokyo judges, the live demo of the A10 Thunder
14045 CGN showed impressive performance scalability of 307 Gbps, which
is better than the product’s listed 300 Gbps.
Additionally, the judges said the Thunder 14045 CGN’s IPv4 preservation
and IPv6 migration capabilities make it timely for service providers and
mobile carriers looking to deliver IPv6 services to subscribers. The
Thunder 14045 CGN also reduces CapEx by combining support for IPv6 full
cone session control to provide tight security and CGNAT in a single
box, the judges said.
A10 Thunder CGN (Carrier Grade Networking) gateways help service
providers preserving IPv4 addresses and provide seamless migration to
IPv6, and are included with integrated DDoS protection for performance
and session scalability that can deliver up to 60 percent savings in
just four years.
Interop ShowNet Sponsor and Interop Tokyo Demos
A10 Networks is also a sponsor of the Interop Tokyo ShowNet, a
comprehensive Internet technology demonstration at Interop Tokyo that
features a wide range of equipment and services from Interop Tokyo’s
exhibitors, and also serves as the network backbone for the event. A10
contributed engineering support to assist with the network, as well as a
list of products that includes:
-
A10 Thunder 6435 CFW provides CGN and Gi/SGi FW for all exhibitors’
booths

A10 Thunder 6435 TPS provides DDoS mitigation in the security
functional pools in the backbone network, and DDoS mitigation service

Along with these two award-winning solutions, A10 is demoing more
solutions throughout Interop Tokyo, which runs through Friday, June 9.
A10 is also showcasing its A10
Harmony Controller bridging cloud and on-premise environments using
AWS with A10
vThunder and A10
Lightning Application Delivery Controller on Microsoft Azure; A10
Thunder TPS flow detection and mitigation; A10 Thunder CGN to scale out
technology using vThunder; and an A10
Thunder SSLi with Cylance security demo.
