Accelerate your Applications with Alteon Application Switch Series 4-5

Alteon Application Switch Series 4-5 provide breakthrough performance, advanced application acceleration capabilities and on demand scalability needed to effectively meet contemporary network and business needs.

Specifically designed for the majority of enterprises and carriers that operate in dynamic, ever-changing environments and face diverse requirements, the Alteon Application Switch provides the extendable throughput they need from 0 to 20Gbps for unparalleled scalability, business availability and performance.

Breakthrough Performance Delivering best Quality of Experience

Powered by state-of-the-art, custom-designed hardware platforms, the Alteon Series 4-5 ensure the best user experience and fastest response time for your mission-critical applications, resulting in effective, continuous business operation.

The Alteon 4008 & 4416 provide up to 4Gbps of scalable throughput capacity while delivering breakthrough performance including 215K Layer 4 and 135K Layer 7 Transactions per Second (TPS).

The Alteon 5412, targeting large data centers and carrier environments packed with four 10GE ports, supports up to 20Gbps of throughput capacity, 2.5 Million DNS queries per second, 535K Layer 4 and 300K Layer 7 Transactions per Second.

The beating heart of Alteon Series 4-5 is the Virtual Matrix Architecture (VMA), a one-of-a-kind technology that unleashes the power of Alteon’s next-generation proprietary platforms. VMA is a fast, robust, and flexible architecture that leverages the entire system’s capacity while providing the parallel performance of distributed processing.

Integrated Application Acceleration Capabilities

Alteon Application Switch Series 4-5 deliver a wide set of application acceleration capabilities including SSL offloading, web compression, caching, HTTP multiplexing and TCP optimization. These capabilities are designed to offload servers, address server performance issues, enhance response-time for best QoE and mitigate security risks. By offloading processor intensive operations from servers, Alteon frees the servers’ CPUs to handle additional requests, eliminating the need to buy additional hardware in order to support application processing requirements and reducing CAPEX and OPEX.

The Alteon Application Switch is validated and certified by leading application vendors such as Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, IBM and others. When operating Alteon Application Switch Series 4-5 with Microsoft SharePoint for example, the response time of SharePoint servers is accelerated by 350% and the servers’ CPU load is reduced by 40%. Similar benefits are achieved with other popular applications.

Application acceleration capabilities have greater importance in virtual data centers where applications suffer from increased latency caused by virtualization infrastructure. Alteon reduces applications latency and improves QoE of virtual applications.
