Radware Joins the Open Networking Foundation
Radware to actively participate in delivering accessible and flexible infrastructure for leading application delivery and security solutions
MAHWAH, New Jersey, April 16, 2012/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 it has joined the Open Networking
Foundation (ONF), a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a new approach to
networking called Software-Defined Networking (SDN).
As a member of the ONF, Radware will contribute its views and the company's expertise
in areas that include:
- How application delivery controllers (ADCs) can be integrated into
next-generation data centers and take advantage of the OpenFlow/SDN supported
networks,
- How network and application security tools can be integrated and take full
advantage of the OpenFlow and SDN approach,
- Contributing to the ONF working groups in establishing OpenFlow standard specs
that would allow smoother integration of ADCs and security tools to next-generation
SDN networks.
SDN technologies provide network owners and operators better control over their
networks, allowing them to optimize network behavior to best serve their customers' needs.
While networking technologies continue to evolve, the ONF believes that more rapid
innovation is needed.
"Application acceleration and attack prevention capabilities across distributed
networks are essential to ensure the smooth working of mission-critical applications for
enterprises of all sizes, and Radware's expertise in ADCs and information security
platforms enables organizations to build highly available and secured OpenFlow supported
networks," said Avi Chesla, Chief Technology Officer, Radware. "We look forward to working
with all global companies involved with the Open Networking Foundation and sharing best
practices for the future of enterprise networking."
While workloads continue to transition across next-generation networks and data
centers, there is a greater need for institutions to become more dynamic by increasing
application performance while reducing the risk of security breaches. As a member of the
ONF, Radware's OpenFlow Services Delivery Fabric architecture takes advantage of OpenFlow
programming abilities to manage a pool of service delivery resources and value-added
services to deliver high network and application availability, elasticity, layer 4 through
7 load balancing, and network security solutions based on OpenFlow and Radware's
solutions.
"Stronger definition of network behavior in software is a growing trend, and open
interfaces are going to lead to faster innovation," said Dan Pitt, executive director,
Open Networking Foundation. "We are excited to be joined by leading global companies to
help develop and implement advanced networking capabilities for today's enterprises."
Radware will be demonstrating its OpenFlow Service Delivery Fabric architecture at the
Open Networking Summit 2012, April 16 through 18 at the Santa Clara Marriott, Santa Clara,
California. Radware's OpenFlow Service Delivery Fabric will show how collaboration between
computing fabric, service delivery fabric and the OpenFlow based network fabric creates
one, service aware data center - thus proving the value of the SDN approach, and more
specifically, the value of OpenFlow.
