Array Networks debuts new TMX family of Application Front End (AFE) appliances.Array Networks, a provider of secure application deployment appliances for Global 2000 companies, today announced the debut of its TMX TMX Translation Memory eXchange TMX Trimix (mixture of oxygen, helium and nitrogen used by divers) TMX Tandem Mirror Experiment TMx Time Management System TMX Transparent Matrix (switch; Hekimian) family of Application Front End (AFE (Apple File Exchange) An earlier Macintosh utility that converted data files between Mac and PC formats. It also included a file translator between IBM's DCA format and MacWrite. ) appliances, which provide a broader, more cost-effective range of options for accelerating and streamlining application delivery and website content. Designed to accommodate the needs of enterprises of all sizes, the TMX family also features a number of performance enhancements in link 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 , monitoring/reporting, network address translation, port forwarding, and disaster recovery. "The unveiling of this new family of Application Front End appliances allows us to take all of the capabilities we have provided to our Global500 customers and make them available for smaller deployments, thereby expanding our market reach," said Michael Zhao, president and CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. of Array Networks. "Each product provides an exceptional application performance enhancement, and ROI (Return On Investment) The monetary benefits derived from having spent money on developing or revising a system. In the IT world, there are more ways to compute ROI than Carter has liver pills (and for those of you who never heard of that expression, it means a lot). . But even more, the Array Networks "pay-as-you-grow" pricing policy allows users to buy just the features they need today, then upgrade in the future simply by obtaining a software license key." Unlike single-purpose data networking systems built on disjointed point technology such as separate load balancers, caching and compression systems, and SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) The leading security protocol on the Internet. Developed by Netscape, SSL is widely used to do two things: to validate the identity of a Web site and to create an encrypted connection for sending credit card and other personal data. accelerators, the TMX family provides a complete, integrated solution. TMX family of products uses the latest and most advanced traffic management OS available, and all appliances feature tightly coupled Layer 4-7 server load balancing, high-performance caching, Webwall security, dynamic content compression, link load balancing and clustering. And to further increase performance, they also employ Array Networks' exclusive SpeedStack technology that eliminates redundant TCP/IP TCP/IP in full Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Standard Internet communications protocols that allow digital computers to communicate over long distances. processing. New features available in the TMX family include a variety of enhancements that improve run-time operations, availability, security, and management. Improvements include policy based routing, new pre-configured and custom reporting, static NAT (Network Address Translation) An IETF standard that allows an organization to present itself to the Internet with far fewer IP addresses than there are nodes on its internal network. capability, synchronized multi-site disaster recovery, port/link redundancy, URL URL in full Uniform Resource Locator Address of a resource on the Internet. The resource can be any type of file stored on a server, such as a Web page, a text file, a graphics file, or an application program. rewrite and flexible application firewall rules. The initial members of the new TMX family of products include the TMX1100, TMX2000 and TMX3000 appliances. The TMX1100 is a replacement for Array's existing low end product, (TM-C), with increased performance for the same price. The TMX2000 aimed at budget conscious customers, goes up to 100 megabits of throughput, and provides over twice the performance of the largest TM-C configured product. The TMX3000 is aimed at the larger customer with Gigabit throughput and extended port support, providing significant increase in performance and connectivity in a space-saving compact form. The TMX product family is designed for easy integration with existing technology as well as easy replacement of legacy network devices. The products are easy to install, offering both an easy-to-use web-based interface called Array Pilot and a command-line interface. |
