Application Delivery
As preceding Web application firewall, visonysAirlock not only offers security advantages but also increases performance and availability of Web applications. At the same visonysAirlock adapts itself dynamically to application demands. High availability and short response times are ensured for all applications centrally.
Critical security functions and performance-relevant tasks are executed with efficiency and scalability in the Web application firewall visonysAirlock (such as SSL termination, filtering, URL encryption, session handling, etc.). Your application servers are relieved accordingly, and the rightful users benefit from high availability and short response times. This results in greater user friendliness and thus in competitive advantages for your company. At the same time costs can be reduced in the application server environment and operation, as the server no longer needs to handle all undesired traffic.
Relieving the Web and Application Servers
- SSL termination
- complete protocol validation and rebuilding
- Reverse proxy mappings for flexible application launching (layer 7 switching)
- dynamic output compression
- TCP connection pooling
- Application-level load balancing on several application servers
- Application-level protection against DoS attacks
Permanent Availability
- session-level load balancing
- fail-safety due to failover clustering
- shared configuration file for failover cluster
- several active systems behind separate network load-balancer possible
- internal monitoring including self-healing functions (log compression, process monitoring etc.)
