THIRD PARTY VALIDATION

Read what third parties say about A10 Networks.

AX Series

We chose A10's AX Series because it is the best price/performance server load balancer on the market and the first in the Web application delivery market that is tuned for multi-core CPU systems. The A10 team is staffed with Layer 4-7 networking experts that carefully designed the server load balancing solution that is tuned for our exact needs. As a result, we have the best server load balancer technology on the market, and our customers are happy with our application speed. -Rick Ku, MIS Assistant Chief for Game Flier

As the provider of end-to-end services for mobile carriers and millions of wireless handsets around the world, our network must always be fast and reliable. We chose A10 Networks' AX Series next-generation server load balancers to enhance our carrier-grade network because they provide a new industry price/performance milestone that leaps ahead of incumbents' offerings in this market – which allows our service to be more competitive. -Willy Lee, senior director of operations for Core Mobility

With 50 million users and a new high-volume system coming online, we needed to build a solution to ensure that traffic bottlenecks are prevented before they occur. We chose A10's AX 2100 switches as our application delivery platform because of their impressive performance and competitive price, plus the customer service and response from the A10 team. -Jason Pelzer, program manager for the Lime Wire Store

The A10 team used its super computing chops to develop its own operating system (called the Advanced Core Operating System or ACOS) which can perform high-speed parallel processing without slowing down to distribute or copy packets across multiple CPUs. This algorithm is more efficient than other industry devices that rely on the Linux operating system and its much less efficient parallel processing capabilities. The ACOS operating system is supported by A10's custom ASICs which are added to its devices to achieve a foundation of line-rate switching and routing to keep the devices humming along. -Jon Oltsik, senior analyst for Enterprise Strategy Group

A10 Networks' AX Series is an application acceleration switch that delivers an industry leading price-performance architecture. With its unique Advanced Core Operation System and flexible aRule scripting language, the AX Series easily integrates with existing application infrastructures to help customers provide high levels of scalability and flexibility, to ensure availability for business critical services. -Kazutaka Kiuchi, CEO of Bussan Networks

We found the AX Series at the perfect time. After reading positive stories about its price/performance advantage over incumbents we tested the AX in our environment and discovered that the claims we read were true. A10's AX Series provides us with a high-performance server load balancer solution to ensure MyFluVaccine™ is always performing and available. -Bob Coates, VP of Technology for FFF Enterprises

EX Series

etòn needed a better way to manage network bandwidth so that required business applications never suffer in performance. We chose the EX Series from A10 Networks because it allows us to manage bandwidth with unprecedented application and user identity visibility so that we can intelligently provision enough capacity for necessary business applications at all times. -Asad Sarabi, VP of operations for etòn Corporation

EX Series/User Visibility

Identity management is due for explosive growth as government initiatives, new device types, extranet applications and standards drive demand for better network information visibility and control. Vendors like A10 Networks that deliver identity forensics within purpose-built network management tools provide value to customers by making identity integration cost effective, easy to deploy and easy to use. -Jon Oltsik, senior analyst for Enterprise Strategy Group

IDsentrie

IDsentrie is a strong identity management product that is quick to deploy and easy to use. Its IP-to-ID reporting tool is unique and can easily provide justification for purchasing the product based on the amount of time that can be saved by automating a very manual analysis process. -Mandy Andress, president of ArcSec Technologies

The ability to quickly track critical firewall events back to the originating host using IDsentrie has simplified Silicon Valley Web Hosting's troubleshooting and forensic activities significantly. -Michael Montgomery, network operations manager for Silicon Valley Web Hosting

By leveraging the IDsentrie's IP-to-ID service within etòn Corporation's existing network, I can save an average of 30 minutes while troubleshooting an incident by eliminating the manual step of back-tracking MAC and IP address information to user identity. Now, I can also quickly identify the users involved in a security attack or network alert so that immediate action can be taken before more damage is done. Finally, our IT department can save countless hours annually while reducing time to problem resolution and improving security, reporting and internal controls. -Asad Sarabi, VP of operations for etòn Corporation
