Ensure Optimal Datacenter Consolidation & Virtualization
One of the main benefits of data center virtualization is the ability to consolidate the data center's network layer and the server layer, providing a more cost-effective, agile, highly available and performing data center.
In addition to the benefits, data center virtualization and data center consolidation create a new set of requirements and challenges to all the components in the data center, including the Application Delivery Controller (ADC):
-
Data center virtualization creates more dynamic data centers with frequent configuration changes and 'moving parts' - such as virtual machines, applications, network and storage resources. New instances of virtual machines are provisioned in minutes and new services are deployed in fraction of the time compared to non-virtualized data centers. The ADC cannot 'stay behind' and must provide the same level of agility as all other virtual elements.

-
Consolidation in the data center initially focused on server consolidation to increase server resources utilization, reducing the amount of servers and costs. The evolution of this phase is consolidation of all data center elements including the ADCs, achieving higher utilization, efficiency and reduced OPEX.
Radware's
ADC-VX
™
,
Soft ADC, and
vDirect plug-in are part of Radware's Virtual Application Delivery Infrastructure.
ADC-VX is the industry's first ADC Hypervisor that runs multiple virtual ADC instances on a dedicated ADC hardware, Radware's OnDemand Switch platforms. ADC-VX is designed from the ground up to enable organizations to consolidate their ADC hardware devices without compromising resiliency or performance predictability of their ADC services -- resulting in significant savings of hardware costs and operational expenses. ADC-VX provides the agility and the simplicity that is required in the dynamic, ever-changing virtualized data center, to drive faster deployment of new services and better alignment of ADC services with frequent configuration changes.
