Application delivery controllers (ADC) are devices housed in a data center between firewalls and application servers, existing basically for the purpose of application acceleration, reducing load on websites and performing load balancing, as well as other features (SSL offload, proxy/reverse proxy, a firewall for web applications, and more). They are part of an application delivery network (ADN), along with WAN optimization controllers (WOCs).

This video demonstrates the integration between Nuage Networks VSP and Radware vDirect in an OpenStack Liberty environment. We deploy three web-servers and then set-up Radware Alteon ADC using LBaaS (Load-Balancer-as-a-Service) v2 feature. This scenario uses a single-tenant environment.

We selected the Radware Alteon to be used by our entire organization as the load balancer and security gateway to our web applications. We had a need to replace our aging infrastructure with something more capable and selected these devices after extensive research and testing.

Product Usage

Pros and Cons

Things done well

The software web application is beyond terrible, in most of the cases the web was broken or did not have similar functionality the command line interface had.
The command line interface wasn't a natural looking interface, it was very fumbled and while it ran on Linux, the interface was all menus and sub-menus.
When enabling different pools for different web services, when a new pool was activated, the old pool connections were all reset instead of allowing HTTP sessions to naturally expire.

Things done poorly

These devices caused more problems for our company than benefits, I would never recommend these to colleagues.

While running on these devices, every release caused many interruptions in service and caused thousands of dollars of lost revenue.

Return on Investment

We moved away from Alteon to F5 BigIP LTM and just by swapping out the hardware, we saw 40% speed increase in our applications.  Everything else is much improved as well, from the web interface to the command line to the API.
