New High Performance 64-bit Appliances

Overview:

With IPv6 as the designated successor to IPv4, enterprises and service providers are evaluating products and solutions to enable a smooth transition from IPv4 to IPv6. To handle IPv6's larger address space and resources, and ensure forward and backward compatibility with legacy IPv4 systems, a high-performance IPv4/IPv6 gateway is required.

Interop Tokyo 2010 ShowNet

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.

Interop Tokyo 2009 ShowNet

Interop Tokyo 2008
The AX Series was invited for the second year in a row to be the only server load balancer for the Interop Tokyo "Shownet," where it load balanced live IPv4/IPv6 traffic, and demonstrated superior IPv6 performance and features such as Network Address Translation (NAT) between IPv4/IPv6. The AX Series won Grand Prix/Best of Interop Tokyo 2008 as Best Carrier/ISP Solution for its comprehensive solutions for transitioning from IPv4 to IPv6 and innovative Web Application Delivery platform.

IETF Conference 2008
At the 2008 IETF Conference, the AX 2200 successfully translated the network from IPv4 to IPv6 and from IPv6 to IPv4 flawlessly in a double NAT topology while serving as a high-performance gateway.

Interop Tokyo 2007
The AX Series was invited to be the only server load balancing device for the Interop Tokyo "Shownet," where it load balanced "live" IPv4, IPv6 and Secure Socket Layer (SSL) traffic that was used by thousands of concurrent users at the event. The AX Series also won Grand Prix/Best of Interop Tokyo 2007, beating many competitors including F5's Big-IP 8400, and Cisco's ACE and 7200, through a unanimous vote by the judges.
