Whether you are a service provider or enterprise, cloud computing environments need applications to run reliably, and must be delivered to users quickly in order to receive the benefits of reduced complexity and true dynamic provisioning of server resources. The ability to fully take advantage of both physical and virtual server infrastructure can also enable IT organizations to reduce capital expenses and lower operating costs. The advantages of cloud computing when coupled with applications that are delivered fast, secure and reliable will only be realized with the deployment of Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) that optimize and accelerate applications to remote users. Cloud computing environments can be highly complex datacenters that deal with high-traffic demands and need to handle application delivery efficiently. They require specialized tools design...

ADCs Accelerate Web 2.0 Applications . . .

Web 2.0 applications bring powerful user interfaces with new capabilities and higher functionality to the Web, while new browser-side application intelligence delivers a richer user experience. However, along with the new capabilities, Web 2.0 applications create new issues that result in challenges to both datacenter and network infrastructure, as these new application deployments require much greater communication between client browsers and servers. Traditional web applications use browsers simply as rendering engines where all the application logic (e.g., user information, p... (more)
