As enterprises are increasingly taking advantage of cloud principles such as virtualization and automation to streamline operations and maximize utilization of their IT infrastructure, Array is committed to meeting these demands and ensuring high-level application delivery performance solutions across cloud environments. NFV and Software-Defined Networking (SDN) solutions are playing a major role in the overall industry shift toward network and application virtualization, and Array has already introduced significant forward-looking products APIs and tools to support the shift toward the virtualized networking landscape. Moving forward into 2015, Array will continue its efforts on developing next-generation software-centric application delivery solutions for IaaS, SaaS and enterprise private clouds, allowing end customers to easily manage and adapt their virtual environments as needed.

Leveraging MotionPro's integrated mobile application management capabilities, enterprises can manage and streamline the deployment of native and Web-based mobile applications to both personal and corporate-owned tablets and smartphones. In addition, businesses can ensure security for mission-critical applications in mobile environments through a combination of device-based identification, 2048-bit SSL encryption, advanced authentication, authorization and accounting (AAA), data containerization and remote wiping capabilities.

To ensure the highest-levels of availability and performance for its solutions and business customers, Synergy has built high availability into its reference architecture for RMS services (cross-premises and in the cloud) using Array APV Series application delivery controllers. Deploying Array, Synergy and its customers are assured that RMS service will always be accessible and that users will not be prevented from accessing the business-critical information for which they are authorized.

Array Networks continues to demonstrate positive momentum within its focus on small and medium enterprises and cloud service providers with more stringent SSL performance requirements. Array is meeting the growing trend toward HTTPS-encrypted Web sites, applications and cloud services; and with its focus on infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) providers, Array is positioned to benefit from the trend toward application delivery purchased as a cloud service. Moreover, with support for Hyper-V as of Q3 2014, Array has addressed a caution from Gartner's previous Magic Quadrant and bolstered its focus on value-conscious mid-market customers.

"FIPS 140-2 Level 2 compliance is a critical step in making Array's leading SSL acceleration solution available to the broadest cross section of customers," stated Paul Andersen, Director of Marketing for Array Networks. "We've had requests for FIPS not only from end user customers such as government, financial services and healthcare organizations, but also from cloud providers building out dedicated data centers to take advantage of federal business opportunities. With the APV6600FIPS, Array is positioned to meet stringent customer demands in both traditional and emerging cloud environments."

"Support for VMware vCO is an important step in Array's strategy to operate seamlessly in cloud and virtual environments," said Michael Zhao, President and CEO of Array Networks. "Many customers have reaped the benefits of virtualizing their data center infrastructure and are now taking the next step of automating configuration management and service provisioning. With the eCloud plug-in for vCO, Array gives customers an unprecedented ability to create workflows that spin up application delivery functions when and where they are needed."

Bash is the latest in a series of 2014 security vulnerabilities for which Array Networks was NOT affected. Unlike other networking vendors, Array was not affected by bash, nor was the company affected by recent OpenSSL vulnerabilities such as Heartbleed and man-in-the-middle (MITM). For customers that need application delivery networking with a history of minimal exposure to vulnerabilities, bash becomes one more reason to select Array's security hardened appliances.

With the WAN1100, remote and small offices can benefit from the same application experience gained by workers located at headquarters and major branch office facilities. The compact new appliance ships easily and mounts on virtually any surface. Moreover, any office worker can easily plug in, connect and power on the appliance; from there, configuration can be pushed from a centralized management system or performed remotely by IT. Starting at a list price of less than $2,000 for 10Mbps throughput and 40 concurrent TCP connections, WAN1100 appliances enable ROI that makes WAN optimization economically justifiable for more locations than ever before.
