Array Networks enhances traffic manager product line.Array Networks announced recently significant enhancements to its integrated traffic management product lines, Array TM and Array TM-C. New features to Array TM give enterprises an even easier plug-and-play implementation and management of a unified solution to accelerate application performance without the need for additional servers or offload devices. With the launch of Array TM 5.7, which complements the recent launch of the Array SP 6.1 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. VPN (Virtual Private Network) A private network that is configured within a public network (a carrier's network or the Internet) in order to take advantage of the economies of scale and management facilities of large networks. solution, Array Networks continues to pioneer highly integrated solutions to extend and accelerate application infrastructure via secure, unified platform solutions. "The Array TM was able to improve the delivery time of our web pages significantly," said Jane G. Fishkin, vice president and CIO CIO: see American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations. (Chief Information Officer) The executive officer in charge of information processing in an organization. for The Brookings Institute. "We use a pair of Array Traffic Managers in our server Web Farm, speeding up delivery of our rather complex pages assembled by DynaBase. We found that Array's integrated approach allowed us to provide 24/7 availability of the site, 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 , fast caching, and redundancy for our web content, database and applications farm using a simple but reliable architecture." Steve Lichtman, network architect, in charge of nVidia's application network infrastructure chose the Array TM solution after surveying the field of Layer 4-7 traffic management alternatives. "The ease-of-use, seamless integration and XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. RPC (Remote Procedure Call) A programming interface that allows one program to use the services of another program in a remote machine. The calling program sends a message and data to the remote program, which is executed, and results are passed back to the calling from Array Networks really helped us integrate the Array TM with our custom applications," commented Lichtman. The Array TM is an integrated web traffic management platform that accelerates and streamlines the delivery of content for web sites. Compared with conventional single-purpose data networking systems that require a proliferation of SSL accelerators, Load Balancers, HTTP compression systems, Caching System, Link Load Balancing, Web Logging and Firewall and other point solutions, the Array TM series offers high performance, reliability and scalability while providing substantial savings in hardware, maintenance, set-up, rack space and power. Based on the ArrayOS, the Array TM series integrates essential networking features into one powerful platform, including Layer 4-7 Server Load Balancing, Caching, Link Load Balancing, SSL Acceleration, Compression, Clustering, Webwall for Web security and Global Server Load Balancing  This article is written like a personal reflection or and may require .Please [ improve this article] by rewriting this article in an . . |
