Application delivery controller

1 An 'application delivery controller' (ADC) is a computer network device in a datacenter,

often part of an application delivery network (ADN), that helps perform common tasks

such as those done by web sites to remove load from the web servers themselves. Many

also provide Load balancing (computing)|load balancing. ADCs are often placed in the DMZ (computing)|DMZ, between the Firewall

(computing)|firewall or router and a web farm.


Application delivery controller - Availability

1 Application acceleration products were available from many companies by 2007, for example F5 Networks, AiCache|aiScaler, Juniper Networks, Microsoft and Strangeloop Networks.

Cisco Systems offered application delivery controllers, until leaving the market in 2012. Market leaders like

F5 Networks and Citrix had been gaining market share from Cisco in

previous years.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-application-delivery-controller-toolkit.html

Application delivery network

1 Gartner defines Application Delivery Networking as the combination of WAN Optimization Controllers

(WOCs) and Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs).[http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=495973 Gartner Says Worldwide Application Acceleration

Market Will Reach $3.7 Billion in 2008, STAMFORD, Conn., August 21, 2006] At the data center end of an ADN is the Application Delivery Controller (ADC), an advanced traffic management device that is often also referred to as a web switch, content switch, or

multilayer switch, the purpose of which is to distribute traffic among a number of servers or geographically dislocated sites based on application specific criteria


Application delivery network - Application delivery techniques
