• Leveraging Alteon’s VMA technology
  The beating heart of the Alteon Series 4-5 is the Virtual Matrix Architecture (VMA), a one-of-a-kind technology which unleashes the power of Alteon‘s next-generation proprietary platform. VMA is a fast, robust, and flexible architecture that leverages the entire system’s capacity while providing the parallel performance of distributed processing. VMA creates a virtual matrix of memory and processor resources across the application switch that can be used to process traffic from any port at any time.
  
  To read more about VMA, please refer to the Virtual Matrix Architecture: Scaling Web Applications for Performance and Capacity white paper.

Intelligently Embedding Radware’s “On Demand” Approach

By embracing Radware’s “Pay-as-you-Grow” approach, no forklift upgrade is required even as new business requirements emerge, as you only pay for the exact capacity currently required and prevent over-spending on the initial solution. By employing a software license-based mechanism, throughput capacity as well as application-aware services can be added on demand to meet new or changing application infrastructure needs – without replacing the device, without even restarting it, and with no compromise on performance.

The “Pay-as-you-Grow” approach enables you to overcome capacity planning challenges and reduces the risk associated with data center growth for best investment protection. Thanks to platform standardization and simplicity, there is one platform to cover all of your application needs resulting in fewer spare parts, and less training and operations, to dramatically reduce OPEX.

• 5-Year Longevity Guarantee coupled with World-class Support

  Radware exclusively provides Alteon Series 4-5 customers with a 5-year platform longevity guarantee. This enables extending the Application Delivery project lifetime, which directly translates into reduced TCO and higher ROI.

Alteon Application Switch delivers the lowest TCO on the market!

Thanks to the minimal operational, training and deployment costs of upgrading to Alteon Series 4-5, coupled with Radware’s ‘pay-as-you-grow’ approach plus the 5-year longevity guarantee – you simply get an unbeatable TCO for Alteon products.

• Carrier-Grade Reliability

  The new Alteon Series 4-5 deliver carrier-grade reliability required by the most demanding carrier application environments. It features reliable, custom-made hardware coupled with embedded components providing high MTBF and dual AC/DC power supply configurations. It is NEBS ready, complies with the strictest regulations, and is certified by the most up-to-date hardware and networking standards.

• Guaranteed Availability & Secured Management

  The Alteon Series 4-5 provide continuous guaranteed availability of remote management even under extreme utilization conditions. As the two redundant management ports use a separate, out-of-band management data path, the management traffic is not affected by the data traffic. For enhanced security, the management ports are isolated from the traffic ports. Moreover, the management ports can work in redundant mode for high availability*.

• Enhanced Configuration

  The Alteon Series 4-5 front-panel USB port allows for easy installation, recovery and upgrade of its software as well as configuration back-up for enhanced management. It also features a convenient LCD Panel for display of key performance statistics*.

*Available in Alteon 5412 & 4416.
