"...A10's AX Series of appliances - once you try them you'll be sold... While we were originally drawn to the AX's application acceleration features, the recent enhancements to the AX Virtualization Multi-tenancy feature will allow us to consolidate our Microsoft Exchange 2010 environment and our web environment to a single pair of appliances, with high availability. This reduces the amount of Application Delivery Controllers in our network and saves us money in the process."
- George Hamin, Director eBusiness & Information Systems for Subaru Canada, Inc.
