The World's Fastest Application Acceleration Solution Now Available In Blade Form Factor
Crescendo Networks, the leading provider of high performance application acceleration technology, announced that its award-winning application front end (AFE) functionality is available for existing blade servers. Offered in a modular design, Crescendo's Maestro product line consolidates essential IT features including TCP offload and acceleration, SSL acceleration, compression, load balancing, and security. The Advanced Application Delivery Blade (AADB) controller will deliver Maestro functionality in a blade form factor that allows seamless integration within any complementary networking device.
Within a blade server chassis, there are often 20 or more different server blades, each running different applications. The Maestro AADB controller will enable organizations to accelerate and optimize applications by offloading critical server functionality for the entire blade group. AADB represents an enabling technology that collectively offloads processor intensive overhead from the entire blade group presenting it as a single unified resource to the end-user.
"Recent independent third party testing proves that Maestro delivers the fastest and most cost-effective AFE solution in the market," said Adoram Ga'ash, CEO of Crescendo Networks. "Our AADB controller will provide customers with existing blade server chassis technology the opportunity to seamlessly integrate our best-of-breed functionality into their existing data centers," he continued.
The Maestro AADB accelerates applications up to 10 times and its optimization and security capabilities enhance the offerings of any networking product, including servers, switches, routers, IDS/IPS/VPNs/firewalls and storage solutions. AADB technology will also enable enterprise IT managers to meet the growing service delivery demands associated with composite multi-tier applications, as well as SOA and grid computing environments.
Migrating Crescendo Networks' product offering to the blade architecture demonstrates the company's commitment to deliver core infrastructure solutions for data centers. "Our users have asked us to help them meet their increasing application demands by squeezing more transactions per second from their existing data center infrastructures," commented Ga'ash. "AADB will deliver unmatched application acceleration, immediate ROI, decreased network latency and will dramatically improve the quality of the end user experience," he concluded.
