Array Networks Pushes ADC Performance

The company today rolled out a new APV Series of ADCs that the company says offer 50 to 300 percent more performance than comparably priced ADC offerings.

Sunil Cherian, vice president of product marketing for Array Networks, says the issue that many customers are now wrestling with is that the size of their company in terms of employees no longer reflects their IT requirements. As such, many of them need access to more affordable ADCs that can’t stand up to their performance requirements, especially as many of them consider the implications of making services available via their private cloud computing platform.

The APV series also includes standard support for high-end features such as SSL acceleration, TCP multiplexing, dynamic caching, selective compression and high-speed HTTP processing, said Cherian.

Cherian said the APV series is based on Array SpeedCore software and 64-bit multicore parallel processing, rather than custom ASICs, thereby allowing Array Networks to offer ADCs that are substantially faster and feature-rich than rival offerings.
