A10 FlexPool™ Helps Customers Simplify Consumption of App Services
with Ability to Re-allocate Capacity across Multiple Infrastructure
Deployment Models
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
A10
Networks (NYSE: ATEN), a Secure Application Services™ company, today
announced A10
FlexPool, a software subscription model that provides enterprises
and service providers with the ability to simplify the consumption of
app services. The A10 FlexPool aggregated capacity model allows
customers to flexibly allocate and re-distribute capacity across
applications, multiple clouds and data centers.
As businesses attempt to balance workloads across hybrid cloud
deployments, they need a flexible software delivery model to ensure
their services and applications are consistently available whenever
needed. A10 solves these challenges with FlexPool, a unique capacity
pooling-based consumption model that allows customers to redistribute
capacity across multiple sites as their business and app needs change.
The introduction of A10
FlexPool represents a strategic step in the company’s business
strategy and vision to help customers become more secure and agile as
they bridge traditional and cloud application environments. A10 FlexPool
allows customers to seamlessly use A10 services either on-premise or in
the cloud, without service disruption, in a cost-effective,
customer-friendly manner that eliminates unnecessary expenses caused by
overprovisioning.
This software subscription-based capacity consumption model represents a
more modern, customer-centric approach compared to perpetual,
instance-based arrangements that force customers into numerous fixed
capacity licenses that outlive their practical lifecycles. However, A10
FlexPool allows customers to purchase licensed capacity, then allocate
and redistribute that capacity across applications and infrastructures
as desired. Additionally, FlexPool simplifies the operational process by
limiting the administrative task of centrally managing the license pool.
“Hybrid cloud is spurring greater innovation opportunities for IT to
deliver business relevance and agility for network managers,” said Raj
Jalan, CTO, A10 Networks. “Our new software subscription and capacity
pooling model is designed to eliminate the traditional challenges of
resource planning and portability across today’s hybrid network
environments, offering greater flexibility and dynamic scalability to
meet enterprise IT’s cloud environment needs well into the future.”
Whether A10 software is deployed on virtualized infrastructure, bare
metal, or in the cloud, A10 FlexPool gives IT professionals and service
providers the flexibility and portability across multiple application
services and cloud infrastructure deployment models. With capacity pools
that are sharable across on-premise, public and private cloud
infrastructures, A10 FlexPool can help simplify cloud migrations, and at
the same time eliminate costly overprovisioning and prevent service
disruptions.
Analyst Quotes:
“EMA research has determined that license complexity is a major
stumbling block for next-generation load balancers and application
delivery controllers,” said Shamus
McGillicuddy, senior analyst, network management, EMA. “Network
engineers who are transforming their data center networks and supporting
multi-cloud and hybrid cloud architectures cite license management as a
major challenge. A10 Networks’ FlexPool subscription model addresses
this issue directly, simplifying the transition for IT organizations
that are making the transition to software-centric Layer 4-7
infrastructure.”
“As organizations worldwide adopt multi-cloud strategies, they’re also
embracing IT as a service (ITaaS) and cloud consumption models,” said Brad
Casemore, Research Director, Datacenter Networks, IDC.
“These customers are looking to their technology vendors to assist them
in expediting these shifts. In introducing FlexPool, A10 is helping
customers allocate consistent application-delivery resources dynamically
and flexibly, as and when needed, regardless of how each enterprise
ultimately decides to harness multi-cloud application environments.”
