Application Delivery Solutions
Network-based solutions to optimize the delivery of applications across the network are becoming critical; delivering adaptive data compression, network-level security functionality, selective caching, load balancing and connection management.
Application delivery controllers provide a set of functions to optimize reliability, end-user performance, data center resource usage and security for a variety of enterprise applications.
What are Application Delivery Solutions?
Continuing trends towards application consolidation and virtualisation are causing organisations to re-think the way they deliver their applications to end-users.
No longer is it sufficient to focus solely on the availability of applications through simple server load balancing methods as end-users and customers are demanding more in terms of application performance and security.
Application Delivery Solutions include multiple application networking technologies and extend to meet the needs of network, server, and storage optimisation.
Through enabling application consolidation and virtualisation, application delivery solutions can also help organisations address evolving data center challenges such as increasing demand for power and cooling, regulatory and compliance issues, and business continuity requirements.
Through enabling application consolidation and virtualisation, application delivery solutions can also help organisations address evolving data center challenges such as increasing demand for power and cooling, regulatory and compliance issues, and business continuity requirements.
The goals of application delivery solutions include:
- Increased application performance and response times.
- Increased application availability.
- Greater security in application delivery.
- Rapid deployment of new applications.
- Lower total cost of ownership and increased business efficiency.
Why do I need an Application Delivery Solution?
Through deploying an Application Delivery Solution, businesses can enhance the application experience for the end-user, whilst realising additional benefits through greater efficiency, security, and lower costs
Business benefits of Application Delivery Solutions include:
- Business Continuity – Business Continuity is assured through maximising the resilience of application network infrastructures, ensuring that a device or service failure does not affect the availability of business critical, or customer facing, applications.
- Consolidation – Through application consolidation, whether reducing the number of physical servers or centralising application deployment in a data center environment, businesses can reduce costs, accommodate rapidly changing requirements, and enhance operational efficiency.
- Enhanced Application Security – Internal and external attacks against mission critical applications can disrupt business operations and lead to lack of customer confidence, adversely affecting an organisations reputation and growth. Application Delivery solutions provide comprehensive security measures to mitigate against such attacks.
- Accelerated Application Performance – By offloading processor intensive tasks from application servers to dedicated application delivery appliances, and through intelligent routing of application access requests, application response times can be reduced leading to greater customer satisfaction and enhanced end-user productivity.

Local Traffic Manager - Spread connections across multiple clustered servers, sending each connection to the server with the least load, thereby speeding up transactions and improving the end-user experience.
Local Traffic Manager - Spread connections across multiple clustered servers, sending each connection to the server with the least load, thereby speeding up transactions and improving the end-user experience.
Global Traffic Manager - Automatically route connections to alternate data centers if the main data center goes offline or becomes temporarily overloaded. This makes applications more responsive for each user, and also allows enterprises to make optimal use of multiple data centres.
Application Security Manager - Protects critical applications and their data by defending against application-specific attacks that are ignored by conventional firewalls.
