SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Application networking vendor A10 Networks today announced ACOS 4.0 with significant new features and capabilities, including A10 Harmony, an architecture that lays the foundation of a rapid services integration platform for enterprise, cloud, and service provider networks. With A10 Harmony, developers can integrate intelligent application networking services more easily with high-performance A10 Thunder Series Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs); enhancements include Secure Interconnect IPsec VPN, SSL Insight, Application Access Management (AAM) and Web Application Firewall (WAF).

“ACOS 4.0 is our most significant release since the launch of the 64-bit version of ACOS,” said Lee Chen, CEO of A10 Networks. “ACOS 4.0 with A10 Harmony ushers in a new era of SDN and cloud computing; it lays the foundation for next-generation SDN ADC and paves the way for programmable intelligent application and security services.”

Application infrastructure is going through a major transformation and customers must be able to rapidly integrate application and security services to meet the business objectives. In ACOS 4.0, A10 Harmony accelerates service integration and manageability through open and standards-based programmability. A10 Harmony leverages the award-winning ACOS platform with well-known open standards. The new A10 Harmony Policy Engine provides the intelligence, efficiency and scale required for solving next-generation problems. In addition, the expanded aXAPI SDK and RESTful APIs within the A10 Harmony architecture enable effective provisioning, telemetry for rich analytics and comprehensive security for application networking and security development. The programmability and services integration can be leveraged by high-performance cloud, virtual or physical Thunder ADC appliances to rapidly deliver rich application networking services.

Demonstrating the advanced services A10 Harmony empowers, ACOS 4.0 introduces Secure Cloud Interconnect with hyper-scale performance IPsec VPN and offers significantly enhanced SSL Insight, WAF, and AAM features. Because of the ACOS 4.0 policy engine, A10 can accelerate development and swiftly create consistent API, CLI and web management interfaces supported by advanced telemetry. A10 customers and partners will be able to take advantage of ACOS 4.0 and A10 Harmony architecture to integrate their own advanced networking, security, and management services.
