BOOSTEDGE

// BoostEdge Description

BoostEdge Atlas

BoostEdge Enterprise Edition © is an ADC (Application Delivery Controller) which makes applications run faster, decreases bandwidth needs, ensures application availability, protects servers and data and fulfils every needs of corporate application deployment.

MAIN FEATURES

BoostEdge Atlas is an advanced feature rich Application Delivery Controller (ADC):
  • Compression and various content-aware optimizations
  • Protocol enhancements, connection management
  • Remote cache control
  • Content modification and insertion, URL rewriting
  • Reverse cache
  • Users authentication
  • L7 load-balancing, scriptable deep health checking
  • Request routing, URL load-balancing, web partition
  • Geo load-balancing, geo-redirection
  • Encryption, SSL-ization
  • Web Application Firewall
  • Ultra fine and accurate tuning of requests and replies content processing.

Falling in four categories:

Bandwidth Management, optimization

BoostEdge applies usual lossless compression as well as many advanced content-aware optimizations such as image compression, PDF and flash optimization, CSS and javascript minification. This leads to efficiently reduce the bandwidth consumption, and increase available bandwidth per user.

Server Management

When deployed in reverse-proxy, BoostEdge Atlas insures servers and application availability using the L7 load-balancing, and its scriptable deep health checking.

Security, Users Management

The SSL/TLS encryption protects the data going through the networks. BoostEdge ADC can be used to SSL-ize the applications. The Web Application Firewall protects the servers against threats and malicious requests.

DynaFlex ® Advanced Deployment Tools

URL rewrite mechanisms, content rewrite, text processing, content adaptation and ultra fine requests and replies content processing configuration make BoostEdge ADC a powerful and unmatched application deployment tool.

Robust data encryption
The up to date SSL/TLS cipher suite ensures an unbreakable traffic encryption and thus protect your sensible data DynaFlex ® Integration and deployment tools.
The ultra fine request handling policy, the dynamic content adaptation, the URL rewriting and the scriptable configuration make complex integration easy and manageable.

Clientless solutions
No needs to deploy any client software neither on desktops nor devices.

WHAT IT DOES

BoostEdge Atlas boosts and protects your applications as a shield deployed in front of your servers. Let BoostEdge being the single access point and put your application platform in a fully insulated network.

INSURING APPLICATION AVAILABILITY

Load balancing, health check, session tracking

The aim of the L.7 load-balancer is mostly to insure that the applications are available and in the worst case, when all the servers are down, to display a sorry page preventing the help desk to be overloaded.

The health check is thus a key feature, in order to detect any server of application defect. The scriptable Deep Health Checking dives in to the application details far beyond the web servers themselves.

SPLITTING OVER DEDICATED SERVERS

Server pool, Web division, Requests routing

Complex applications are often based on multiple technologies and multiple HTTP server usages, from simply sending a static component to invoking a server side Java applet. This requires to deploy web servers especially and accurately configured and tuned running on top of adapted operating systems.

This leads to split the application components on several servers and then to make them working together and to present them as a single monolithic application to the users. This is the job of the Web Division also known as load-balancing by URL.

SECURE AND ENCRYPT YOUR SENSITIVE DATA

SSL/TLS Encryption

Confidential and sensitive data should be encrypted, even inside the corporate private LAN. As the single SSL/TLS access point, BoostEdge helps to maintain a robust unbreakable encryption with a single secured place to store certificates and public/private keys. It also simplifies and enable SSL-izing application at zero additional cost.

PROTECT YOUR SERVERS AND APPLICATION AGAINST MALICIOUS REQUESTS

Web Application L.7 and L8 Firewall

Keep in mind that data encryption, even with a “weak” cipher is unbreakable, the vulnerability never comes from the ciphersuite itself. The real issues are compromised certificates and passwords and other back door left open.

Dont be hacked by a trival transveral directory attack or a server script invocation, BoostEdge embeds a Web Applicatin Firewal , just enable it!

BOOST AND SPEED UP YOUR APPLICATION OVER THE WAN

Compression, Content Aware Optimizations, TCP Optimization

When an application is used over a WAN, the restricted bandwidth and the network latency slow down your applications and make some heavy pages rendition time unbearable.

Compression, advanced content aware optimizations, connection management, browser’s remote cache control cut up to 80% of the traffic and speed up your applications halving the response time.
