Array’s Network Functions Platform eliminates this trade-off, combining the best attributes of dedicated hardware, virtualization and software-centric computing to create an environment that provides guaranteed performance for networking and security virtual appliances.

PT Application Firewall is a response to today’s growing application security challenge, combining true machine learning with heuristic analysis to stop more attacks than other firewalls, including zero-days, whilst also reducing management burden. It has a unique built in source code analysis capability which detects vulnerabilities and creates virtual patches for each and every web application. It is the only Visionary in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Web Application Firewalls.

Array Networks’ network functions platform is a purpose-built environment designed to host virtualized networking and security functions. By assigning reserved CPU, SSL, memory and interfaces per virtual machine, virtualized networking and security appliances not only benefit from guaranteed performance, they also achieve performance on par with dedicated hardware appliances. An open solution, the platforms support Array’s load balancing and SSL VPN virtual appliances, as well as third-party virtual appliances such as the Fortinet FortiGate – a popular solution among Fine Tec resellers.

2016 was the worst year on record for distributed denial of service attacks, and recent history indicates it is a pattern that will continue unabated.¹ To establish an additional front in the fight against DDoS, Array APV Series ADCs now feature integrated DDoS protection that prevents attacks at the application, session and network layers. Supporting protocols including DNS, HTTP, SSL, TCP, UDP, ICMP and IP, key capabilities include machine learning for anomaly detection and auto-configuration of threshold values, suspect client filtering and verification, alarms and attack prevention measures such as rate limiting, resetting and black listing.

Based on innovative features and capabilities, such as cloud management integration, hardware ID-based multi-factor authentication and simplified role-based access control, as well as easy scaling via software-centric virtual appliances, VM Racks selected Array Networks to meet its expanding business requirements and to position the company for rapid growth.

As part of a recent project to transition to a new student system based on Oracle PeopleSoft, LACCD evaluated a number of major ADC vendors in an effort to meet its requirements for reliability and high availability. In the end, LACCD selected Array APV Series ADCs.

“Utopia Technology has the market knowledge and experience required to effectively bring our products and solutions to market,” said Rich Siegel, Vice President of Sales and Business Development at Array Networks. “This alliance is an important strategic addition to our European channel partner infrastructure that will allow us to accelerate enterprise and service provider adoption and enable current and future VAR partners to maximize their business opportunities.”

Array AWF 6.1 adds a number of other new features including port linkage, which maintains consistent status when working behind firewalls, along with mirroring blocking, which allows the AWF to detect an attack on one port, and block the attack with another. This mode has the shortest latency and highest performance.

Like other AVX Series virtualized appliances, the AVX3600 may be purchased in quarter-capacity increments with the option to mix and match virtual appliance sizes and functions, allowing cloud providers and enterprises to affordably scale customers or applications on a single high-performance appliance that simultaneously improves management efficiency and reduces requirements for space, power and cooling.
