People rely on business applications that are delivered by networks. These applications run everything from e-mail to Web pages to customer orders. For a business to succeed, applications need to work. They need to be secure, they need to be fast, and they need to always be available, but as businesses try to do more with their applications, complexity increases -- often to the point that networks and applications stop working.

Link Controller™ (LC)
Prevents costly downtime due to ISP problems or other link failures, by automatically switching traffic to alternate connections.
Application Security Manager™ (ASM)
Protects critical applications and their data by defending against application-specific attacks that ignore conventional firewalls.
Secure Access Manager™ (SAM)
Enables high-performance identity verification and flexible secure connectivity to corporate applications from any access networks providing a unified identity access solution.
WebAccelerator™ (WA)
Stops Web browsers from needlessly re-requesting page content from the server. Allows fewer Web servers to handle more users, increasing interactive user performance up to 10 times.
