APV enhances cloud virtual and physical server deployments. For cloud computing environments, application reliability and availability need to be ensured in order to fully take advantage of both physical and virtual server infrastructure. In doing so, the benefits of reduced CAPEX and OPEX can be achieved. The advantages of cloud computing when coupled with applications that are delivered fast, secure and reliable will only be achieved with the deployment of cloud Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) that optimize and accelerate applications to remote users. Clouds can be highly-complex datacenters that deal with high-traffic demands and need to handle cloud application delivery efficiently. They require high-performance and high-intelligence for delivering applications to remote and mobile users.

Array’s APV provides improved cloud service delivery models for cloud-based datacenters with the flexibility to scale server resources based on real-time traffic demands, while providing the application acceleration, high-availability and security they require.

1) APV brings application reliability and acceleration to cloud computing

APV helps overcome server bottlenecks and network congestion. Offloading servers allows cloud operators to handle more traffic, while squeezing more traffic into WAN links provides the most effective use of the available bandwidth.

2) Network Disaster Recovery for Cloud Service Delivery and Deployments

AVP’s link load balancing and failover capabilities deliver one of the most important technologies in solving the problem of reliability for cloud connectivity by directing traffic to the best performing network links. Should one link become inaccessible due to a bottleneck or outage, the APV takes that link out of cloud service delivery and automatically directs network traffic to other functioning links. This process is virtually seamless to the user.

3) Global Server Load Balancing for Distributed Cloud Sites

APVs global load balancing transparently redirects users away from failed sites by continuously monitoring site and server health.

4) APV - Cloud Application Delivery Service Management and Reporting

APV offers both a familiar CLI and an intuitive Web user interface that can easily be customized to create streamlined, integrated management systems. The intuitive GUI makes it a breeze to configure advanced layer 4 and 7 application and security policies.
