The developer offers an appliance for content filtering with cache, compression, SSL acceleration, traffic management and multiplexing of connections to Web servers.
Our customers face the challenges of protection at layer 7 and above for their Web applications and improved network performance without upping the cost, said Sami Jourdain, product marketing manager at the Paris-based company.
We achieve improved performance by caching a lot of web data, so that requests go initially to the cache rather than the application itself, we use hardware SSL acceleration to handle encrypted traffic and we manage the TCP connections differently. What’s been missing from our portfolio is load balancing.
Jourdain said the addition, which comes as an optional module, is a natural evolution for rWeb, given its position just in front of the applications themselves. He added that the module starts at 2,000 and goes up in price as the required performance reaches new thresholds.
Deny All’s main competitors are companies such as NetContinuum Inc, Watchfire Corp (which acquired direct competitor Sanctum in mid-2004) and Kavado Inc, but none of these presently offers load balancing, said Jourdain.
