Editor's Notes
- #3: The focus of innovations to address cloud infrastructure needs is at the network and DC virtualization level. The combination of different cloud deployment models as a result of network and DC virtualization requires e a policy driven infrastructure. If you take a look at SDN, NFV along with DC virtualization – an automated policy enforcement emerges as the single requirement to realize the benefits of these innovations. An ADC is closest to the application in the stack and is best suited to address an organizations security and policy enforcement needs. Furthermore, as these virtualization approaches evolve the ADC has to integrate with these eco-systems to deliver the benefits of consistent policy enforcement across the infrastructure.
- #4: So to summarize – Infrastructure has evolved from a dedicated to a heavily shared multi-tenant resource in Cloud IaaS DC. As a result the policy enforcement for security and application service has to evolve to a more dynamic and automated.
- #6: The A10 aCloud Services Architecture provides consistent security and policy enforcement for Cloud IaaS infrastructure. High performance appliances along with a choice of form factors allow consistent policy enforcement in a range of consumption models by integrating with SDN and Cloud Orchestration platforms. Furthermore, a pay-as-you-go licensing infrastructure allows organizations to pay for what is consumed. As a solution the aCloud services deliver the benefits of Agility, automation and reduced TCO in a Cloud IaaS environment.
