Redefining the Rules of the Performance Game
New Generation Application Delivery for Data Centers

The A10 AX Series Advanced Traffic Manager platform represents a New Generation for Application Delivery. Since its launch in 2007, the AX Series has solved the problems of the world's most demanding enterprises and service providers with application acceleration, availability and security.

With the introduction of the AX 5200, powered by the award-winning Advanced Core Operating System (ACOS), the rules of the performance game are changed. The AX 5200 constitutes the most advanced Application Delivery Controller (ADC) today, combining performance, high port density, energy savings and space savings.

Industry's First Compact Application Delivery Controller
Delivering an Unparalleled 3+ million L4 CPS

The AX 5200 delivers an unprecedented 3+ million Layer 4 connections per second (CPS), offering the industry's highest performance in a groundbreaking compact 2U form factor. Within a single 2U appliance, the AX 5200 includes a full suite of application acceleration, optimization, load balancing, networking and security features that increase data center efficiency and lower energy and operational costs for the world's largest carriers and Websites.

AX 5200 allows any data center to scale or consolidate to manage rapid and unpredictable growth. AX 5200's compact platform represents a 3X space reduction compared to competitors' latest chassis systems. Consolidation can be 10X or higher for legacy replacements.

Designed for Top Websites, Enterprises and Carriers

AX 5200 is tuned for the world's most popular Web portals, Internet search vendors, eCommerce sites, and carriers. Customers processing millions of connections with gigabits of throughput can reduce management costs and increase performance. This ensures peace of mind during peak traffic cycles and rapid growth scenarios.

With the world's highest-performance platform, the AX 5200 also solves complex networking challenges with innovative new features that advance the state of computing. For example, Network Address Translation (NAT) issues are solved by introducing Large Scale NAT (LSN) and IPv6 deployment is eased with IPv6-IPv4 Translation Server Load Balancing.

Interop Tokyo 2009 ShowNet

AX Series ran live traffic to support IPv4-to-IPv6 translation for the ShowNet. In addition, live 40 Gb throughput demonstrations were conducted for IPv4 server load balancing (SLB) and IPv6 SLB during the exhibition.
