Cisco ACE 4710 Application Control Engine
Product Overview
The Cisco
®
ACE 4710 Application Control Engine represents the next generation of application switches for
maximizing the availability, acceleration, and security of data center applications.
The Cisco ACE 4710 allows enterprises to accomplish four primary IT objectives for application delivery:
●
Maximize application availability
●
Accelerate application performance
●
Secure data center and applications
●
Facilitate data center consolidation through fewer servers, load balancers, and data center firewalls
The Cisco ACE 4710 achieves these goals through a broad set of intelligent Layer 4 load balancing and Layer 7
content switching technologies integrated with leading-edge acceleration and security capabilities. A primary design
element of the Cisco ACE 4710 is its use of virtualized architecture and role-based administration to streamline and
reduce the cost of operations involved in rolling out, scaling, accelerating, and protecting applications.
To maximize application availability, the Cisco ACE 4710 uses best-in-class application switching algorithms coupled
with highly available system software and hardware.
The Cisco ACE 4710 provides best-in-industry scalability and throughput for managing application traffic, up to 4
Gbps in a one-rack-unit (1RU) form factor, upgradeable through software licenses, thus providing IT with long-term
investment protection and scalability.
Additionally, through its innovative virtualization and role-based access control capabilities, the Cisco ACE 4710
enables IT to provision and deliver a broad range of multiple applications from a single Cisco ACE appliance,
bringing increased scalability for application provisioning to the data center.
The Cisco ACE 4710 greatly improves server efficiency through highly flexible application traffic management and
the offloading of CPU-intensive tasks such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption and decryption processing,
HTTP compression, and TCP session management.
The Cisco ACE platform is designed to serve as a last line of defense for servers and applications in data centers.
The Cisco ACE appliance performs deep packet inspection and blocks malicious attacks. An integrated firewall
enables IT professionals to comprehensively secure high-value applications in the data center and facilitates
consolidation in the data center (Figure 1).
