Enterprises and Service Providers Can Efficiently Deploy, Manage,
Control and Optimize Secure Application Services across Hybrid Clouds
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
A10
Networks (NYSE: ATEN), a leading provider of intelligent and
automated cybersecurity solutions, today announced availability of major
advancements to its Thunder Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) with
Harmony Controller support for centralized, multi-cloud management, rich
per-app analytics and DevOps tool integration. Numerous new enhancements
also enable integration with Kubernetes, enhanced Ansible Playbooks and
simplified ADC policy configuration with expanded Application Centric
Template (ACT) support.
Organizations are striving to become more agile as the role of IT and
software becomes paramount. Fast roll-out, control and optimization of
applications drive revenue, competitive advantage and customer
satisfaction. Apps must be secured and quickly delivered regardless of
where they reside.
A10’s ADCs with their tight coupling to the Harmony Controller lead the
industry in enabling administrators to intelligently manage, control and
automate the deployment of application delivery services to maximize
agility, provide actionable insights and ensure app availability and
security while simplifying operations with lower TCO. Augmentations to
A10’s Thunder ADC with Harmony Controller intelligent automation
capabilities include:
-
Centralized multi-cloud management, including on-premise, Amazon Web
Services and Azure to distribute policies to all application services.
-
Expanded L4-7 per-application analytics across clouds with hundreds of
metrics on an aggregate or per-request basis in real-time.
-
Integration with DevOps tools including Ansible Playbooks and a
Thunder ADC based A10 Ingress Controller for Kubernetes environments.
-
Support for a secure portal enabling a provider-tenant model. Line of
business and application owners can manage secure application service
policies and view application responsiveness with centralized control
from IT.
-
Application Centric Templates (ACTs) for many common software
solutions, such as new versions for Windows Integrated Authentication
and SSL Offload along with existing ACTs for Microsoft Exchange, Skype
for Business, SharePoint and more.
-
Integration with private cloud orchestration tools including VMware’s
vRealize Orchestrator and Cisco UCS Director.
-
‘Nutanix Ready’ certifications for A10 vThunder and Harmony Controller
on Nutanix’s Hyperconverged Infrastructure (HCI).
“Prior generation ADCs lacked visibility and support for centralized
management that bridge on-premise and cloud infrastructures with their
diverse APIs and toolsets,” said Raj Jalan, CTO at A10. “Current
processes are manual, inefficient and error prone and result in an
inability to proactively and automatically modify infrastructure based
on dynamic traffic profiles. A10 is addressing these challenges to
improve agility for businesses of all types.”
“At Delta Dental, we like to work smarter, not harder. Combining Thunder
ADCs with their support for automation, centralized control and deep
analytics with A10 Harmony Controller helps us do that,” stated Kevin
Klott, Network and Hosting Services Manager. He further noted: “By
choosing A10, we are future proofing our plans for the shift to
cloud-native applications.”
Among the benefits customers achieve from using Thunder ADC with Harmony
Controller:
-
Actionable Intelligence – Complete visibility into user
experience, end-to-end latency, contextualized traffic profiles,
anomalies, malicious intrusions and server health and utilization
levels enable proactive infrastructure modifications.
-
Multi-cloud Support – Support the transition of apps to hybrid
cloud environments with the same services, management, and visibility
as found on-premise.
-
Automated Workflows – Increase efficiencies, expedite
application deployments and lower troubleshooting times by up to 80
percent with a 3-6x ROI.
-
Increased DevOps Agility – Centralized software defined
functions that enable collaboration between networking and development
teams.
-
Ease of Deployment – Tight integration with Harmony Controller
provides a single pane-of-glass to simplify the provisioning, control,
management, and elastic scaling.
