We use Alteon as a web application firewall and also for load balancing. It has an integrated firewall inside of Alteon that we use for our public-facing web servers. The Alteon hardware is deployed at one location, but we use virtualized appliances in our DR environment. The company has around 5,000 employees and about 150,000 customers. We have about $7 billion in revenue annually.
They have different lines of the same series. I believe we're on 6024, so ours is an older line. We can't get some of the features because it doesn't have the hardware to support them. However, the code is seamless across the platforms. The D Line is the new one.

We are a data center company, and we need load balancers at our end so that the load is balanced. These are network load balancers, and they are helping us to balance the overall traffic at our end. Because we are a data center company, we host a lot of customers. We host more than 800 customers in our data center, and that itself is a big use case. Earlier, we were using it only in one data center, but now, we are using it in two data centers, so we have two load balancers, one at each site, and we are about to configure global load balancing between both of them.
View full review »The solution is basically used for load balancing. We do build for load balancing as well. We have several load balancers in the physical and cloud space. We started using it for GTM and also use it for some iRules scripting and to modify the SDP draft.

We use it as a load balancer.
View full review »We are using Radware Alteon in our data center as a link load balancer, service load balancer, and ADC.
View full review »We use Alteon Radware to balance web page services hosted on real and virtual servers, these government portals must be available 100% of the time and must be accessible from the internet and intranet. In addition to the fact that we can add an extra layer of security (due to the use of virtual IP address and proxy IP address) When there is an impact on any of the servers, we receive an alert notification and we can attend to the impact on that server, for the end-user, this is indistinct since the service is not affected.
View full review »We implement the load balancer for everything related to the input and output of connectivity services to or from the internet. We have two channels of connectivity to the internet through which we publish services.
With load-balancing, we have the ability to receive traffic using both channels, through Alteon, and when one of them is affected, we're able to access the internet through the other. We already have that part configured.
We also use it for security issues regarding the WAF, trying and applying policies for companies, so that our web applications published to the internet are covered by that security layer.

We have deployed Alteon to our cluster to provide load balancing of the applications. We also utilize the security functionality, which is a WAF on top of the load balancing.
View full review »The vendor usually overloads the devices with a lot of functionality. The strength of this solution is the application delivery controller. The best functions are load-balancing services and multiple backend servers.
Our primary use case for the solution is protection. We have just one web application protected behind this AppWall, and it is automatic with the default configuration. This device periodically downloads new threat signatures from Radware, and most of the time, we let the device AppWall handle the traffic and block the threats that it thinks are ahead.

A Radware Alteon load balancer is a hardware device that acts as a reverse proxy and distributes network or application traffic across a number of servers. Load balancers are used to increase capacity (high-availability) and reliability of application. Load balancers ensure reliability and availability by monitoring the health of applications, and only sending requests to servers and applications that can respond in a timely manner. They improve the overall performance of applications by maintaining application and network sessions, as well as by performing application-specific tasks.
Load balancers are generally grouped into two categories: layer 4 and layer 7. Layer 4 load balancers act on data found in the network and transport layer protocols like TCP/IP, FTP, and UDP. Layer7 load balancers distribute requests based on data found in application layer protocols like HTTPS, HTTP.
Requests are received by both types of load balancers and they are distributed to a particular server based on a configuration algorithm.
