Quickly Deploy Virtual App Delivery and Security Functions with Guaranteed Performance!

Enterprise and service provider data centers continue to grow – in both complexity and expectations. Networking and security professionals are looking for ways to gain agility through software-centric approaches; however, many still rely on hardware to meet the requirements of business-critical operations.

The competing imperatives force a trade-off: opt for agility and face significant expense and complexity for guaranteed performance. Or, opt for dedicated hardware appliances and sacrifice agility. IT leadership is faced with an unfair choice that sacrifices one area for another and constrains their ability to achieve business objectives.

Array Networks is pioneering an innovative approach to eliminating this compromise. Our Network Functions Platform combines the best attributes of dedicated hardware, virtualization and software-centric computing to create an environment that provides guaranteed performance for virtual networking and security functions.
