A10 HarmonyTM Controller powers industry’s
only multi-cloud, multi-service solution that centrally coordinates
secure application services and open-source solutions across hybrid
environments
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
A10
Networks (NYSE: ATEN), a Secure Application Services™ company, today
introduced a new strategic solution that offers multi-cloud,
multi-service management that brings to life its ongoing vision of
harmonizing application delivery and security.
The new developments center on the A10
Harmony Controller, built on microservices and container
technologies, offering a multi-tenant, highly scalable controller
architecture that incorporates real-time analytics at a per-app level
and central management and orchestration of secure application services
across hybrid environments – from physical data centers to public,
private and hybrid clouds.
The new A10 Harmony Controller and analytics capabilities fundamentally
change the way secure application services are delivered, protected, and
managed. Because the A10 Harmony application delivery and security
controller uniquely spans traditional data centers and clouds, it is now
the industry’s only controller-based platform that can deliver
analytics, configuration and orchestration across such hybrid
application environments.
At the heart of this solution are advanced, per-application analytics.
The controller now collectively integrates analytics for A10’s software
and hardware Thunder portfolio and cloud-native A10 Lightning offerings.
The centralized visibility and intelligence derived from per-app
analytics across this portfolio greatly increase the efficiency of A10
customers’ operations teams in enhancing end-user experience. A10’s
per-app analytics help improve capacity planning and optimize IT
infrastructure for customers with elastic cloud environments, and among
other capabilities, help dramatically shorten troubleshooting times and
proactively provide alerts on performance or security anomalies.
A10’s analytics capabilities allow customers to effectively manage app
workloads across the entire spectrum of modern hybrid deployments and
legacy data centers – unlike other vendors, whose answer to the cloud is
to one-dimensionally require specific “cloud appliance” products that
have been retrofitted to accept a subset of cloud workloads.
The A10 Harmony Controller integration with management and analytics
capabilities is available across A10’s portfolio of secure application
services, including application load balancing and app delivery, a web
application firewall and SSL inspection.
The A10 Harmony Controller is available in two deployment models. The
first allows organizations to use it as a SaaS offering managed by A10,
making it very simple, quick and cost-effective to consume. The
controller is also available as a customer-managed, scalable software
solution within a customer’s environment in data centers or clouds,
including VMware powered clouds, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud
Platform, and Microsoft Azure.
Key capabilities of the new A10 Harmony Controller include:
-
A cloud management, orchestration and analytics platform for secure
application services
-
Options include a self-managed, on-premise deployment model, or an
A10-managed SaaS model
-
Per-application analytics across the entire application delivery
infrastructure:
-
Available for A10 Lightning and Thunder ADC
-
Available for HAProxy open source load balancers
-
Native multi-cloud support for elastic load balancing and web
application firewall with:
-
VMware-powered private clouds
-
Google Cloud Platform (GCP), in addition to Amazon Web Services
(AWS) and Microsoft Azure
“A10 now offers a unique solution that bridges the traditional
challenges customers have of managing multiple applications across
multiple data center and cloud environments,” said A10 Networks CTO Raj
Jalan. “We are giving customers the visibility, performance, and
security across this on-premise and cloud spectrum that they demand. As
a result, our customers have agility and flexibility as their app and
business needs evolve. Our expanded A10 portfolio delivers the level of
agility customers need to efficiently and effectively manage secure
application services, the flexibility they need to continuously meet
emerging needs, and the scalability to satisfy their performance
requirements.”
The A10 Harmony Controller with Thunder ADC integration, HAProxy load
balancer analytics, and native Google Cloud load balancing and Web
Application Firewall (WAF) offerings will be available in Q2 2017.
Integration with other A10 services such as SSL inspection, Carrier
Grade NAT and Converged Firewall will be available starting in 2H 2017.
