A10 Networks expands thunder portfolio

A10 Networks, a Secure Application Services company, today broadened its Thunder Series portfolio of hardware appliances with solutions that help latency-sensitive financial institutions and enterprises overall. The portfolio additions include a solution that reduces latency and enhances security for high frequency trading (HFT) and financial environments, and two entry-level A10 Thunder Series Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) for enterprise customers.

A10 is also adding the Thunder 940 and Thunder 1040 ADC models to its Thunder line of appliances, which are ideally suited for the secure application delivery needs of enterprise customers. The appliances offer nearly twice the performance at a lower cost than the leading competitor, providing an efficient data center design that consumes less power, cooling, and rack space.

Thunder 940 ADC and Thunder 1040 ADC expand the cost-efficient choices for enterprises and deliver compact yet powerful 1 RU designs that take up less space, consume less energy and require less cooling.

The A10 Thunder 1040 features A10’s third-generation SSL processors that provide up to twice the performance of comparable products from competitors. The SSL processors offload compute-intensive SSL/TLS processing from web servers with highly secure and compute-intensive advanced encryption standards like Elliptical Curve Cryptography (ECC) with Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS).

As businesses face the challenge of addressing current encryption and decryption needs while planning for the future, A10’s third-generation SSL processors help customers avoid the inherent performance hit resulting from SSL/TLS solutions, delivering processing power to handle the most advanced encrypted traffic generated by today’s modern applications and devices.
