FUTURE TECHNOLOGY
With the right software controls , businesses can form consistent and repeatable outcomes with fewer errors .
the operations team troubleshoot faster and more efficiently so the customer experience can continue with little or no interruption and anomaly detection can be used to drive proactive and even predictive responses .
2 . Integrated security helps secure business apps at scale without adding to the security team ’ s workload . Security that is integrated into the load balancing solution provides the best defence . Bolton security products tend to be complex and hard to configure , particularly with regard to application security . Configuration and management of security features and the ability to adjust policies at a granular level needs to be straightforward and easy .
3 . Centralised management gives greater flexibility to respond quickly to changing business environments . A centralised management system that operates with an advanced load balancing solution will prevent conflicting policies . It will also ensure visibility of the application stack in both public and private clouds , as well as enable multiple regions to accommodate high availability , regulatory requirements or other needs .
4 . Support for containers simplifies and enables app portability across the infrastructure . Today , application infrastructure is becoming more and more complex ; therefore , adoption of containers is becoming a growing method to address this complexity .
Containers can orchestrate computing , networking and storage infrastructure on behalf of user workloads . This lets the organisation deploy cloud-native applications anywhere and control them with confidence . Any advanced load balancing technology that supports containers not only has to be able to automatically scale to accommodate changes in application traffic , but also must automatically update itself when changes are made to the infrastructure . Operations teams will not have to configure policies or otherwise actively manage the load after the advanced load balancing solution is configured . This allows operations teams to function more efficiently and organisations will get more value from them .
How is A10 helping customers to overcome these kinds of challenges ?
With the rise in globally dispersed enterprises and new work from home requirements that are increasing traffic , application service infrastructures are no longer residing in data centres alone . Modern apps are increasingly housed in public , private and hybrid clouds , forcing application delivery controllers to evolve to provide better user experience , application

This is where A10 Networks ’ application delivery solution is helping customers ensure their business applications are secure , consistent and highly available in any multi-cloud environment .
How crucial is application visibility for enabling a secure infrastructure ?
Application visibility is vital to infrastructure , particularly in multi-cloud environments , to ensure that organisations can gain valuable insights into application performance , health and security . These insights allow enterprises to continuously optimise app performance and balance traffic across the network . This enables businesses to ensure high availability and the best user experience .
What benefits will be realised by organisations that implement an application delivery strategy for multi-cloud experience ?
Multi-cloud application deployments are playing a foundational role in everything from internal business needs to Digital Transformation initiatives – but it is also essential for IT operators to ensure effective visibility , governance , security and control across both public clouds and private clouds . The three key benefits that an application delivery strategy will need to provide include the following :
y
Enhanced Application Availability : Ensure efficient and reliable application delivery across multiple data centres and clouds , minimising latency and downtime and enhancing end user experience . y Comprehensive Application Security :
y
Increase application security with advanced SSL / TLS offload , single signon ( SSO ), DDoS protection and web application firewall ( WAF ) capabilities . Complete Application Visibility : Integrate a centralised management and analytics solution to gain deep per-application
