Alteon Application Switch Series 4-5 provide breakthrough performance, advanced application acceleration capabilities and on demand scalability needed to effectively meet contemporary network and business needs. Specifically designed for the majority of enterprises and carriers that operate in dynamic, everchanging
environments and face diverse requirements, the Alteon Application Switch provides the extendable
throughput they need from 0 to 20Gbps for unparalleled scalability, business availability and performance.
Breakthrough Performance Delivering best Quality of Experience
Powered by state-of-the-art, custom-designed hardware platforms, the Alteon Series 4-5 ensure the best user experience and fastest response time for your mission-critical applications, resulting in effective, continuous business operation.
The Alteon 4008 & 4416 provide up to 4Gbps of scalable throughput capacity while delivering breakthrough performance including 215K Layer 4 and 135K Layer 7 Transactions per Second (TPS). The Alteon 5412, targeting large data centers and carrier environments packed with four 10GE ports, supports up to 20Gbps of throughput capacity, 2.5 Million DNS queries per second, 535K Layer 4 and 300K Layer 7 Transactions per Second.
The beating heart of Alteon Series 4-5 is the Virtual Matrix Architecture (VMA), a one-of-a-kind technology that unleashes the power of Alteon's next-generation proprietary platforms. VMA is a fast, robust, and flexible architecture that leverages the entire system's capacity while providing the parallel performance of distributed processing.
Integrated Application Acceleration Capabilities
Alteon Application Switch Series 4-5 deliver a wide set of application acceleration capabilities including SSL offloading, web compression, caching, HTTP multiplexing and TCP optimization. These capabilities are designed to offload servers, address server performance issues, enhance response-time for best QoE and mitigate security risks. By offloading processor intensive operations
from servers, Alteon frees the servers' CPUs to handle additional requests, eliminating the need to buy additional hardware in order to support application processing requirements and reducing CAPEX and OPEX.
The Alteon Application Switch is validated and certified by leading application vendors such as Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, IBM and others.
When operating Alteon Application Switch Series 4-5 with Microsoft SharePoint for example, the response time of SharePoint servers is accelerated by 350% and the servers' CPU load is reduced by 40%. Similar benefits are achieved with other popular applications. Application acceleration capabilities have greater importance in virtual data centers where applications suffer from increased latency caused by virtualization infrastructure. Alteon reduces applications latency and improves QoE of virtual applications.

Accelerate your Applications with Alteon Application Switch Series 4-5
The performance businesses want. The reliability and simplicity they need.
Intelligently Embedding Radware's 'On Demand' Infrastructure Approach
By embracing Radware's "Pay-as-you-Grow" approach, you only pay for the exact capacity currently required and prevent overspending on the initial solution. Throughput capacity, acceleration capabilities and application-aware services can be added on demand to meet new business requirements - with no forklift upgrade of the device and without even restarting it.
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 are two platforms to cover all of your application needs resulting in fewer spare parts, and less training and operations, to dramatically reduce OPEX.
Same Alteon OS
Alteon Series 4-5 utilize the same Alteon OS. This means there are no learning curves -- related to operations scripts, CLI, integration to environment, network topology considerations -- so that you can immediately enjoy the same renowned ease of operation and stability, while obtaining new benefits!
5-Year Longevity Guarantee Coupled with World-class Support
Radware exclusively provides Alteon 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.
The Result: 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-asyou-grow' approach plus the 5-year longevity guarantee - you simply get an unbeatable TCO for Alteon products!
Additional Benefits
> Carrier-Grade Reliability
Alteon Application Switch 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-todate hardware and networking standards.
> Guaranteed Availability & Secured Management
Alteon Application Switch 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 the software as well as configuration back-up for enhanced management. It also features a convenient LCD Panel for display of key performance statistics
