Radware Alteon

What Radware Alteon is

Radware Alteon is an application delivery controller and security platform for enterprises and service providers running applications across on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud environments. Its Alteon VA capabilities include server and global server load balancing, SSL offloading, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 optimization, compression, TCP optimization, and TCL AppShape++ scripting. Alteon Protect adds cloud WAAP services for web application firewalls, API security, bot protection, and web DDoS protection. The product page describes cloud application security that can scale without traffic rerouting, SSL key sharing, or routing changes.

Global Elastic Licensing pools ADC licenses across environments and lets capacity scale up or down with demand. Native integrations include VMware, OpenStack, Nutanix, AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes through the Alteon Kubernetes Connector. Lifecycle automation can use REST APIs, Ansible, Terraform, and orchestration tools. Alteon VA also provides real-time SLA visibility, AI-driven root cause analysis and anomaly detection, plus unified analytics across ADC and cloud security services. Alteon is paid, with pricing on request and no free plan. Its Secure package includes SSO for up to 500 concurrent users.
