Secure Application Delivery Platform Controller

(Edgenexus Application Delivery Platform)

Fast, Scalable and Secure Applications

Edgenexus ADP is the World's First Generation 4 Load Balancer

We are now operating in a fast-moving Agile World

We need agility to adapt to change.
We need an ADP.

Ok, Enough acronyms what is an ADP? →

The Edgenexus ADP is a platform that delivers all the services and functionality that you need to deliver fast, scalable and secure applications both now and into the future.

It can be deployed almost anywhere, in practically any format, and offers not just the key functionality we need now such as advanced load balancing, security, application firewall, global DNS, cloud migrations etc., but a platform to deliver new services.

By deploying new apps and services directly onto the platform, the role and functionality can change as your business requirements change, thus ensuring your solution is future proof.

Its is not really an evolution of the load balancer, but a generational step-change and its role in the application network is fully enforced.

New applications come from three places

Us.

We are adding new products and features all the time such as VPN, Advanced DNS and SDN.

You.

You can easily develop your own apps using the Forge. As long as it can run on a Linux platform it can run on our ADP as a microservices container.

Others.

We are working with a number of vendors to offer their leading-edge technology on our platform. We don't have all the answers, but we bet our ecosystem partners do!

What service and apps will EADP support in the future?

• We don't know what application delivery and security challenges we may face in the next 3 to 5 years, but we do know we will need to be agile and adapt quickly as the time period between a security floor discovery and attack is ever reducing.
Edge ADC gives you the tools required to meet these challenges.
Edgenexus is revolutionizing the way networking and security applications are being deployed and consumed.
We make no direct comparison to the way that app stores have redefined how the mobile phone is used, but we would like to.

How does it actually work?

What's under the hood - No smoke and mirrors, please … Well, they do say that there is rarely anything new in IT, and maybe this is the case. At its heart, the EADP is an elegant integration of a number of technologies. So here is our stack.

Advanced ADC

By deploying new apps and services directly onto the platform, the role and functionality can change as your business requirements change thus ensuring your solution is future proof.

Containerization Stack

We current use Docker, to provide abstraction and additional security between the applications and the host platform, i.e. the ADP.

Appstore

This is where you can find new applications to deploy on your ADC. You can also download new traffic management rules and platform updates, amongst other things. You are also able to purchase and deploy internet integrated services.

The Forge

The Forge is where you create your own Apps - As long as it can run on Linux it can probably run on the ADP.

Smartfiles

This is how we secure and deliver apps. Smartfiles are encrypted files that contain the app and other data such as the vendor, version, logo and integration instructions etc. Smartfiles are encrypted for the platform they are intended for.

CSM: Cloud Service Manager

The Cloud Service Manager allows the ADP to integrate and deploy external cloud-based services, from CDN to Multi-cloud device management.

Full REST API

The 'Glue' that connects the platform to the components. Allows the monitoring and configuration of the ADP from external software.

Hummingbird Advanced GUI

Ease of use is engineered into, and across the platform as a first principle. This assures all the tools translate into business, technical and commercial agility.

What does it look like and how do I deploy it?

Virtual - Supports usage on all main hypervisors such as VMware, Hyper-V, KVM, Nutanix and Acropolis.
Cloud - The ADP is available in all main cloud platforms such as Azure, AWS and Google.
Hardware Appliance - Available in a range of options in conjunction with our OEM partner HPE, who can provide unmatched support for these mission-critical applications.

What next?

What about Edge Computing?

What is this 'edge computing', people keep talking about?

Whilst there is no exact definition of the term 'edge computing', we are essentially describing it as the need to push applications and application processing further towards the edge of a network. This can deliver better response times by reducing latency and WAN bandwidth requirements.
In some ways, it's the opposite of the cloud computing trend, where we try to bring services from the edge to the central or distributed cloud.
The ADP is a true edge computing software engine as it can run on almost any platform including hardware and software, and provide a uniform interface and feature set. Applications can be pushed to the ADP at the edge, networking can be reconfigured and this can be fully automated via REST for large scale deployments.
Companies such as HPE are placing a heavy focus on Edge, but the software still somewhat lacks the functionality that the EADP has.
