Array Networks Introduces New Mid-Range Virtualized Appliance

Array Networks Inc.,an application delivery networking provider announced the immediate availability of its new mid-range AVX7600 virtualized appliance, which supports both ADC and SSL VPN instances and supports up to 16 entry, eight small, four medium or two large virtual appliances per system. Support for pay-as-you-go pricing in quarter-capacity increments, with the option to mix and match virtual appliance sizes, allows cloud providers and enterprises to affordably scale customers or applications on a single high-performance appliance.

IaaS providers can allocate dedicated CPU, SSL, memory and I/O to each instance and allocating separate dedicated resources to management functions. For example, divided into four medium ADC virtual appliances, each instance guarantees 14Gbps throughput; and divided into 16 entry ADC virtual appliances, each instance guarantees 3.5Gbps throughput. To ensure guaranteed uptime for business critical applications, high availability is supported for both physical virtualized appliances and constituent virtual instances.

In a press release, Array Networks explained, unlike other multi-tenant application networking solutions in the market, Array’s virtualized instances do not compete for shared hardware resources.The availability of the new AVX7600 virtualized appliance coincides with the availability of new AVX 2.1 software. With AVX 2.1, Array’s existing virtualized appliances gain the ability to support both vAPV and vxAG virtual appliances and the ability to mix and match different size virtual appliances. Both the new mid-range AVX7600 and Array’s high-end AVX10650 virtualized appliance now support multiple size virtual appliances, purchasing of capacity in pay-as-you-go increments, deploying multiple products and providing guaranteed performance for customers and business-critical applications.
