While data center traffic is growing rapidly, SSL encryption requirements are increasing at an even faster rate to protect customer data, forcing organizations to rethink their SSL offload and SSL inspection strategies, it added.

The Thunder Series appliances are based on A10's innovative Advanced Core Operating System (ACOS). They also leverage the same data center-efficient designs as other ACOS-based appliances, consuming less power, cooling and rack space, which are critically important metrics for large data center operators.

"With the continued rise of well-publicized DDoS attacks and data breaches, organizations of all sizes are requiring effective protection from the escalating size and complexity of attacks," said Sanjay Kapoor, Vice President of Global marketing.”

The mid-range Thunder hardware appliances are--Thunder 3230 and 3230S. They offer 4-Core Xeon CPU, 4x1GbE, 4x10GbE, 30 Gbps Throughput, SSL CPS (2048-bit) of up to 52,000 and DDoS Protection SYN/sec: 55 million.

The Thunder 3430 and 3430S offer 6-Core Xeon CPU, 4x1GbE, 4x10GbE, 42 Gbps Throughput, SSL CPS of up to 75,000 and DDoS Protection of 55 million.
