Radware Joins the Effort to Develop the Standard Open Cloud Operating System and Speed Innovation in Cloud Technologies

MAHWAH, New Jersey, December 14, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

    Radware [http://www.Radware.com ] (NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of application
delivery [http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationDelivery/default.aspx ] and
application security
[http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationNetworkSecurity/default.aspx ] solutions for
virtual and cloud data centers, today announced that it has joined OpenStack(TM)
[http://www.openstack.com ], a global community of developers collaborating on an open
source cloud operating system.

    As workloads continue to transition into the cloud, there is a greater need for both
public and private clouds to become more efficient by increasing application performance
while reducing the risk of security breaches. As the emerging open standard for cloud
infrastructure, OpenStack complements Radware's application delivery and application
security solutions to be implemented across public, private and hybrid cloud environments.

    "Application acceleration and attack prevention capabilities in the cloud are
essential to ensure the smooth working of mission-critical applications," said Avi Chesla,
chief technical officer, Radware. "Enterprises of all sizes that operate within public and
private clouds will be able to benefit from Radware's expertise in application delivery,
network and application security. We look forward to working with all companies involved
with OpenStack, contributing code and providing architectural inputs based on our best
practices in the areas of application delivery and information security for the future of
cloud eco-systems."

    OpenStack has grown to be a global software community of developers representing more
than 130 companies, collaborating on a standard and massively scalable open source cloud
operating system. The project aims to deliver solutions for all types of clouds by being
simple to implement, massively scalable and feature rich. The technology consists of a
series of interrelated projects delivering various components for a cloud infrastructure
solution.

    The news of Radware joining OpenStack comes on the heels of the Company's recent
introduction of the industry's first application delivery fabric for the IT-as-a-Service
economy. Radware ADC Fabric(TM) breaks new ground in virtualized application delivery by
leveraging the concept of a virtual ADC (vADC) resource pool across both single and
multiple data centers. By implementing Radware ADC Fabric within virtual data centers and
replacing traditional ADCs with vADC instances, IT managers can now assign a vADC instance
per application, department or customer. This essentially creates a fully virtualized
application silo with full fault isolation for its own dedicated components (servers,
storage, and vADCs), guaranteeing application performance and service level agreements.
The ADC Fabric includes Radware AppShape(TM), a technology providing an application
perspective for shaping the application delivery tools within the data center to meet
specific application needs. AppShape dramatically accelerates the rollout of new business
applications and services, which can be integrated into the virtual data center and cloud
eco-systems. Radware's ADC Fabric empowers IT managers, allowing them to be focused on
business services rather than on IT products and hardware.
