SECURITY, SCALABILITY AND RELIABILTY

Enhanced Security, Scalability and Reliability for Non-stop Performance

To provide high-performance and continuous service, A10 engineers architected a scalable multi-threaded operating system to fully take advantage of the latest multi-CPU technologies. With redundant hot swappable hard drives, advanced power supplies, and smart fans, the EX Series provides robust chassis-based failover protection. To protect against chassis failure, the EX Series supports HA pairing – ensuring uninterruptible service for critical WAN and perimeter applications. These capabilities are built upon a secure platform to optimize the network edge.

• Network IPS
  Identifies network anomalies to provide real time protection against attacks such as Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS), port scans, address sweeps, protocol misuse and malformed packets.  
  
  
• Performance
  Delivers up to 4Gbps of aggregate throughput and rate shaping/limiting capabilities for over 100 traffic classes through an optimized, purpose built SMP architecture.
  
  
• Flexible Deployment Options
  Integrates into existing network infrastructures with support for both transparent or gateway modes and a choice of flexible interface options.  
  
  
• Simplified Management
  Configuring and monitoring of EX Series is available through intuitive and easy to use GUI interface and industry standard CLI.  
  
  
• High Availability
  Ensures service availability with redundant RAID-1 hard disks, advanced redundant power supplies and removable smart fans within a single chassis as well as mechanisms to provide cross chassis fail over with High Availability (HA) pairing.

The EX Series provides 2 Gigabits/second of managed services to secure, optimize, and accelerate the network edge. With a high port density of 8, 10 or 12 Gigabit ports running in either Route Mode or Transparent Mode, customers can quickly aggregate and combine multiple network segments and zones that used to be managed separately at the network’s edge. Internet connections, ecommerce applications, corporate email, public Web site zones, WAN links, and more can now be managed from one central secure high-performance platform with instant WAN application and user visibility.
