Radware's Alteon OS 27 Certified by SAP for Integration with SAP NetWeaver 7.0 to Deliver Faster Response Time, High Availability and Improved Security
Use of Alteon OS 27 Improves End-User Quality of Experience, Increases Productivity and Reduces Total Cost of Ownership
MAHWAH, New Jersey, June 13, 2011/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Radware [http://www.radware.com ](NASDAQ: RDWR), a leading provider of
integrated application delivery
[http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationDelivery/default.aspx ] solutions
for business-smart networking, today announced its Alteon
[http://www.radware.com/Products/ApplicationDelivery/Alteon/default.aspx ](R)
OS 27 has achieved certified integration with the SAP [http://www.sap.com/index.epx ]
NetWeaver(R) technology platform. With the use of the Alteon OS 27, SAP(R)
applications experienced faster application response time, increased
efficiency and higher availability.
The SAP Integration and Certification Center (SAP ICC) has certified
Radware's Alteon OS 27 for integration with SAP NetWeaver 7.0 via the
following three integration scenarios: application delivery and WAN
optimization-network performance optimization for enterprise SOA-based
solutions 1.0 (ESOA-AW-PO 1.0), network security for enterprise SOA-based
solutions 1.0 (ESOA-AW-SEC 1.0), and reliability and availability for
enterprise SOA-based solutions 1.0 (ESOA-AW-RA 1.0). To earn certified
integration with SAP applications, the Alteon OS 27 solution passed all SAP
certification requirements
[http://www.radware.com/workarea/showcontent.aspx?ID2801 ].
Extensive performance testing
[http://www.radware.com/workarea/showcontent.aspx?ID2773 ] showed the
ability of Radware's Alteon OS 27 to improve the quality of experience (QoE)
with SAP applications for end users, delivering up to 2x faster transaction
response times as well as up to 3x faster file download. With increased
speeds, SAP applications gained highly available infrastructure efficiency
through Alteon's health monitoring and smart load balancing features. Also,
by leveraging Alteon OS 27's compression, TCP optimization and other
application acceleration features, SAP applications experienced reduced
bandwidth consumption and up to 15 percent server processing offloading,
which can lead to reduced costs and yield higher overall ROI.
In using Radware's Alteon OS 27, now SAP-certified, end users can
receive additional service benefits, including:
- Accelerated Application Performance - Organizations achieve
significant improvements in SAP application performance through a set of
application acceleration features including SSL acceleration, caching
and compression- resulting in faster response time for improved
productivity and QoE. Furthermore, by offloading CPU-intensive tasks
from servers to the Alteon OS 27 application delivery controller, the
same infrastructure running SAP applications is able to process more
capacity while reducing server costs.
Additional benefits, although not certified by SAP, will provide
customers with the following:
- Business continuity at all times - Alteon OS 27's advanced
health monitoring enables to instantly detect any unavailable resource
along the transaction path, further guaranteeing transaction completion
through redirecting requests only to the available servers. Even in case
of disaster, Radware's Alteon OS 27 global sever load balancing (GSLB)
functionality automatically redirects new user requests to the disaster
recovery (or backup) site. Users - or the IT manager - do not need to
perform any configuration in their desktops/laptops or in the data
center in order to benefit from this functionality.
- Link optimization - in case of an ISP outage, Alteon OS 27
automatically re-routes all traffic through the remaining links, further
ensuring continuous service to the remote users of SAP applications.
- Enhanced security in support of SAP applications - By deploying
Alteon OS 27 in conjunction with SAP applications, organizations can
benefit from tighter security and regulatory compliance. This enables
the continuous availability of SAP applications, protecting against
known and emerging threats such as Network DoS (Denial of Service)/DDoS
(Distributed Denial of Service) attacks and HTTP page floods.
- Cost-effective scalability - Radware's Alteon OS 27 is powered
by the company's OnDemand Switch
[http://www.radware.com/Products/default_Platform.aspx ](R) hardware
platform which enables customers to pay for the exact capacity required
for best investment protection. Through its "pay-as-you-grow"
approach, no forklift upgrade is required, guaranteeing short-term and
long-term savings on CAPEX and OPEX and full investment protection.
"We are pleased to have earned SAP certification of our Alteon OS 27
solution," said Guri Geva, Director Global Alliances, Radware. "Radware

cost-effective application delivery solutions such as Radware's Alteon
