Array Networks Connecting to Web Hosts

What kind of companies are finding ways to make data centers run faster and run more efficiently?

Smart ones, I’d say. The highly touted cloud service industry is supposed to be worth $68.3 billion as of last year by Gartner’s estimates and should barrel ahead to $148.8 billion in 2014. It’s sufficient to say there’s a whole lot of money to be made, and if you know what you’re doing in the data center arena, your chances of cashing in are that much greater.

Array Networks recently introduced a new application delivery controller - the the APV9650 - powered by it’s SpeedCore application delivery platform - that gives enterprises and service providers the ability to non-intrusively support over 20 million concurrent connections at locations where data center space is at a premium. That means data centers can conserve precious rack space for revenue-generating services and productivity enhancing applications, which makes the APV9650 “cost-conscious, eco-friendly and cloud-focused.” Who could ask for more?

The world’s largest Web host is impressed: “Array Networks and SoftLayer have been partners for years. Rapid deployment and the extensible nature of SpeedCore APIs were the deciding factors for standardizing on Array application delivery solutions. Array’s vision of SpeedCore as a platform for partner development is strategically aligned with our competitive advantages, as well as our need to automate data center management for agile, real-time service provisioning,” remarked Sean Charnock, VP of Business Development, SoftLayer Technologies.
