The A10 Advantage

Pedigree
A10 Networks was founded by Lee Chen, a Layer 4-7 networking pioneer and the former co-founder of Foundry Networks and Centillion Networks, acquired by Nortel. A10 staffs experts in the areas of super computing, high-performance networking, server load balancing, bandwidth management and network identity management--to produce the new generation of networking and security equipment.

Platform
A10 has three product families in its portfolio: the AX Series advanced traffic manager; the EX Series bandwidth management appliance with identity; and the ID Series network management appliances. Each product family is based on a high-performance appliance platform that is architected for today's and tomorrow's applications, enabling multiple features to run on a single appliance without compromising performance.

Price/Performance
All A10 products deliver the best price/performance in their class. There are no additional fees or licenses for features like SSL acceleration or for increased throughput. With A10, you buy the appliance, all the features are included, and customers are never nickel and dimed.

Why A10? Why Now?

A10 Networks was created with the notion of solving business problems through the innovative use of emerging technologies. With the rapid speed of innovation allowed today by advances in communication, customers choose A10 Networks to help their networks keep pace.

Ten years ago nobody forecasted the boom in video technology that we have today, including the online sharing of large files that makes networks increasingly relevant.

Twenty years ago nobody would have forecasted the bloom in email traffic, let alone the other sorts of traffic we have today with the advent of companies and products like the iPhone, Blackberry devices, Google, Yahoo, YouTube and many more.

Who is to say what people are doing 5 years from now; 10 years from now? But one thing is for sure: Networks will continue to become bigger, more bandwidth intensive, more complex--and require sophisticated management tools to perform efficiently.

It is this uncertainty of technology and increasing network growth and complexity that makes A10 relevant. Addressing this need today and in the future, A10 Networks delivers high-performance network management tools that Accelerate, Optimize, Secure, and provide unprecedented visibility for network traffic as it traverses down network pipes.
