NEW DELHI, INDIA: Radware, a provider of integrated application delivery solutions for business-smart networking, announced its new optimisation solution for the virtualised environment, VirtualDirector.

As part of its 'Business-Smart Data Centre' strategy, Radware is combining its application delivery expertise with virtualisation capabilities, to launch VirtualDirector, a new solution for real-time optimisation of data centre resources.

This launch is the first in a series of announcements that will be made over the next 18 months. 

VirtualDirector is an innovative optimisation solution for the virtualised data centre - providing adaptive and dynamic allocation of resources based on business events, to guarantee SLAs and improving response time of applications.

Cameron Haight, research VP – IT operations, Gartner, Inc., "Virtualisation challenges many of the traditional tenets of IT infrastructure and this has ramifications on its management. Managing VM sprawl, optimising performance (and energy consumption) while continuing at the same time to reduce administrative complexity will increasingly be critical. Moving forward, we see automation and task orchestration as two of the key technology areas that will be employed to address these issues."

Ilan Kinreich, COO Radware, said: "At Radware, we are addressing the needs for our customers to improve QoE and ensure SLAs while keeping costs down in a virtualised environment. VirtualDirector provides the means with which to address these issues and reduce the risks involved in the migration towards these environments automatically and in real-time to best optimise applications."
