BANGALORE, INDIA: Array Networks Inc., a player in enterprise secure application delivery, announced a comprehensive trade-in program, which would enable Nortel Alteon customers to switch to Array Networks’ comprehensive SSL VPN and Application Delivery Controllers product lines.

The trade-in program included discounts and additional benefits to provide a seamless transition for Nortel’s customers following the company’s recent bankruptcy. Array’s products consume significantly less power, which would offer an eco-friendly alternative to enhance organisations’ green initiatives.

Michael Zhao, president and CEO, Array Networks, said: “Nortel’s recent bankruptcy announcement has created concerns among businesses. With the Nortel replacement program, we are offering organisations peace of mind in having the most secure, scalable, and highest-performing SSL VPN access gateways and application accelerators available."

"Additionally, our power-efficient platform helps businesses cut back on energy consumption and provide ongoing cost-savings in the data centre while delivering additional functionality at no extra cost.”

Potential customers could receive 100 percent credit on the residual value of their Nortel equipment, up to a 40 percent maximum discount on new equipment. There are bonus incentives for distribution and channel partners as well. There would be no minimum purchase requirements or maximum dollar limits.

This replacement program would also apply to Nortel Alteon Layer 4-7 Load Balancers, SSL accelerators, SSL VPNs and Contivity VPN products.
