Radware, a provider of application delivery and application security solutions for virtual and cloud data centres, has  integrated its Alteon and DefensePro platforms into Cisco's Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI) fabric. The integration will particularly benefit large enterprises, hosting service providers and ISPs with faster provisioning, automation and monitoring of applications.Cisco's ACI is a holistic architecture with centralised automation and policy-driven application profiles. It helps in strengthening the acuteness of the datacentre without undermining the application SLAs and performance.[caption id="attachment_2009415" align="alignleft" width="380"] Reuters[/caption]Cisco will allow Radware's clients to use the Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC) to manage their applications individually from remote locations."Cisco and Radware intend to offer an integrated Layer 2-7 architecture that can respond to business application needs and security requirements, dynamically," said David Aviv, vice president of advanced services, Radware.
