HIGHEST-PERFORMANCE LAYER 4-7 SWITCHING
ServerIron ADX switches use detailed application message information beyond the traditional Layer 2 and 3 packet headers, directing client requests to the most available servers. These intelligent Layer 4-7 application switches transparently support any TCP- or UDP-based application by providing specialized acceleration, content caching, firewall load balancing, network optimization, and host offload features for Web services.

ServerIron ADX switches also provide a reliable line of defense by securing servers and applications against many types of intrusion and attack without sacrificing performance.

All ServerIron ADX switches forward traffic flows based on Layer 4-7 definitions, and deliver industry-leading performance for higher-layer application switching functions. Superior content switching capabilities include customizable rules based on URL, HOST, and other HTTP headers, as well as cookies, XML, and application content.

ServerIron ADX 10000, 4000 and 1000 Application Delivery Controllers

REDUCED OWNERSHIP COSTS
ServerIron ADX switches simplify server farm management and application upgrades by enabling organizations to easily remove and insert resources into the pool—helping to minimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). The switches uniquely provide a single platform that can reduce network load and extend server farm network design and scalability.

ServerIron ADX provides hardware-assisted, standards-based network monitoring for all application traffic, improving manageability and security for network and server resources. Extensive and customizable service health check capabilities monitor Layer 2, 3, 4, and 7 connectivity along with service availability and server response, enabling real-time problem detection.

To optimize application availability, ServerIron ADX switches support many high-availability mode options, with real-time session synchronization between two ServerIron ADX switches to protect against session loss during outages.
