New APV Products Feature Upgraded ArrayOS
Array Networks rolls out APV5200 and APV6200, which features the latest version ArrayOS 8.1 based on the company’s SpeedCore architecture.
Array Networks Inc., developer of secure access and delivery solutions, has upgraded its AppVelocity (APV) application delivery controllers (ADCs). The 
latest version of APV boasts the new ArrayOS 8.1.
At the center of the latest ArrayOS is the SpeedCore architecture, which uses a lock-free multi-core technology. This enables capacity gains for HTTP, TCP, and SSL offloading modules by supporting multiple 10 Gbps network interface cards for application processing.
The ArrayOS 8.1 APV products currently shipping based on SpeedCore include the APV5200 and APV6200.
The latest APV products also feature an upgraded caching module, with improvements made to compression processing, system-level monitoring, process/module-level resilience, application flow monitoring, and field troubleshooting.
“The rise of Web 2.0 traffic, multi-media services, and hosted cloud-centric applications has made it increasingly important that ADC solutions be capable of handling complex application delivery efficiently,” says Array Networks in a statement to EH Publishing.
The latest version of APV increases its performance bandwidth in accordance with those trends, says the company’s president and CEO Michael Zhao. “For more than a decade, Array has been studying the underlying cause-and-effect relationships within complex application delivery architectures,” he says. “We have identified datacenter ‘bottlenecks,’ and have redesigned the interfaces of key components to make them more modular and functional.”
In addition to architectural improvements, new engines enable increased performance via selective acceleration and optimization based on the type of content in L2, L4, L7, and application traffic.
