Array Networks integrates several essential, high-performance networking functions that formerly required a rack full of devices and produced integration nightmares and a maze of shifting bottlenecks. The company's Array appliance combines accelerated Layer 4-7 server load balancing The fine tuning of a computer system, network or disk subsystem in order to more evenly distribute the data and/or processing across available resources. For example, in clustering, load balancing might distribute the incoming transactions evenly to all servers, or it might redirect them with high-performance caching, built-in SSL acceleration SSL acceleration is a method of offloading the processor-intensive public key encryption algorithms involved in SSL transactions to a hardware accelerator.
