We chose A10's AX 2000s as our server load balancer platform because of their impressive interface and competitive price, plus the first class customer service and response from the A10 team. A10's AX Series balance the user connections over our JD Edwards ERP software and Windows 2003 Terminal Servers. We believe we are achieving a more even distribution of load after implementing A10. -Paul Veeneman, chief technology engineer for Hawkins After a comparative test with competitive server load balancer products, we selected A10's AX Series for its advanced architecture, stable and superior IPv6 performance, outstanding cost effectiveness, and prompt support from A10 and partner Bussan Networks. -Mr. Shinro Nakagawa, General Manager of the Network Engineering Dept. for NTT Plala We chose A10's AX Series because it is the best price/performance server load balancer on the market and the first in the Web application delivery market that is tuned for multi-core CPU systems. The A10 team is staffed with Layer 4-7 networking experts that carefully designed the server load balancing solution that is tuned for our exact needs. As a result, we have the best server load balancer technology on the market, and our customers are happy with our application speed. -Rick Ku, MIS Assistant Chief for Game Flier As the provider of end-to-end services for mobile carriers and millions of wireless handsets around the world, our network must always be fast and reliable. We chose A10 Networks' AX Series next-generation server load balancers to enhance our carrier-grade network because they provide a new industry price/performance milestone that leaps ahead of incumbents' offerings in this market - which allows our service to be more competitive. -Willy Lee, senior director of operations for Core Mobility With 50 million users and a new high-volume system coming online, we needed to build a solution to ensure that traffic bottlenecks are prevented before they occur. We chose A10's AX 2100 switches as our application delivery platform because of their impressive performance and competitive price, plus the customer service and response from the A10 team. -Jason Pelzer, program manager for the Lime Wire Store The A10 team used its super computing chops to develop its own operating system (called the Advanced Core Operating System or ACOS) which can perform high-speed parallel processing without slowing down to distribute or copy packets across multiple CPUs. This algorithm is more efficient than other industry devices that rely on the Linux operating system and its much less efficient parallel processing capabilities. The ACOS operating system is supported by A10's custom ASICs which are added to its devices to achieve a foundation of line-rate switching and routing to keep the devices humming along. -Jon Oltsik, senior analyst for Enterprise Strategy Group A10 Networks' AX Series is an application acceleration switch that delivers an industry leading price-performance architecture. With its unique Advanced Core Operation System and flexible aRule scripting language, the AX Series easily integrates with existing application infrastructures to help customers provide high levels of scalability and flexibility, to ensure availability for business critical services. -Kazutaka Kiuchi, CEO of Bussan Networks We found the AX Series at the perfect time. After reading positive stories about its price/performance advantage over incumbents we tested the AX in our environment and discovered that the claims we read were true. A10's AX Series provides us with a high-performance server load balancer solution to ensure MyFluVaccine™ is always performing and available. -Bob Coates, VP of Technology for FFF Enterprises
