Crescendo Networks Unveils New Purpose-Built Application Delivery Platforms, Offering Unmatched Web Application Performance
Crescendo Networks, Ltd., the recognized performance leader in accelerating and optimizing application delivery for Web properties, recently announced the Maestro CN-7000 series, a new line of advanced application delivery hardware platforms. The CN-7000 series includes the entry-level CN-7710, the CN-7740 for medium to large organizations, and the CN-7790 for the largest organizations, with up to 10 Gbps throughput.
The new platform series allows Web-based businesses of all sizes to accelerate and optimize application delivery, boost server and network efficiency and dramatically reduce data center costs. It further expands the award-winning Maestro Platform, which is designed to work specifically with Crescendo's flagship application delivery controller, AppBeat DC.
"Unlike other application delivery controllers that rely on general purpose components that sacrifice performance and reliability under heavy traffic loads, the entire CN-7000 series leverages Crescendo's unique custom-built application acceleration hardware engines combined with a soft-core design," said Adoram Ga'ash, CEO of Crescendo Networks. "This not only means we can deliver unmatched application performance – regardless of fluctuating traffic or changing feature selections – but now Crescendo can flexibly extend its feature offerings and cater to a broader set of customer requirements. Furthermore, by incorporating a new hardware-based Rules Engine, customers have the ultimate flexibility to control their application traffic flows according to their business needs, all in real time and at 10 Gbps throughput."
Some key updates and features include:
Multi-gigabit acceleration and control with unique feature-concurrency
The Maestro CN-7000 series offers multi-gigabit acceleration (including compression, TCP multiplexing and SSL offload) and control (local and global load balancing) to meet every performance requirement – from 250 Mbps all the way to 10 Gbps. This allows customers of all sizes to leverage Crescendo's award-winning AppBeat DC solution with the new CN-7000 series.
New Crescendo Rules Engine for in-depth application control
The Maestro CN-7000 series introduces the new hardware-based Crescendo Rules Engine (CRE). The engine gives customers comprehensive L7 traffic control and modification capabilities, allowing for complete management of Web traffic under any load. This "classify and modify anything" functionality delivers in-depth control of all application traffic, without compromising performance.
Purpose-built platform with soft-core design for "best of" performance
The CN-7000 series gives customers the best of both worlds by combining Crescendo's trademark dedicated acceleration hardware engines (based on parallel RISC processors) with a soft-core design for easy integration, value-added feature flexibility, and ultimate ADC performance.
Data center and cloud computing functionality for resource virtualization and optimization
The Maestro CN-7000 series offers flexible business-oriented application delivery management options coupled with SLA-based application control capabilities for massively scalable data centers. This enables customers to allocate resources based on business needs.
"As organizations try to deal with the current economic crisis, they're becoming increasingly interested in technology solutions that allow them to reduce cost and mitigate lost revenue opportunities," said Bojan Simic, Research Analyst for Aberdeen. "Crescendo's new Maestro CN-7000 platforms, when combined with AppBeat DC, provides customers with a powerful mix of best-in-class capabilities for both application acceleration and visibility, which allows them to reach levels of control that can significantly reduce operating expenses and enable them to capture additional revenue."
Crescendo's AppBeat DC is an application delivery controller that enhances the performance, scalability, efficiency and availability of Web applications. Unlike competing solutions, it leverages the industry's only purpose-built hardware platform, uniquely designed for maximum performance and feature concurrency. By offloading servers from processing-intensive tasks and optimizing the delivery of the application to users, AppBeat DC significantly improves overall application performance, security and availability while reducing datacenter costs.
