Web acceleration provides increased speed and functionality for enterprise applications using Web interfaces.

Web application performance refers to the quality and efficiency at which a Web application functions. Many factors can impact application performance, including bandwidth capacity, the number of users on a network, application protocols and coding, and attacks that exploit specific application vulnerabilities.

Web application security describes security methods applied to Web servers, Web applications, and application users. Examples of Web applications include online banks, shopping, auction sites, and Web-hosted e-mail. Examples of Web application security include authenticating user access to an online bank, protecting and validating cookies used by an auction site to maintain user state and […]

Web performance refers to application speed and efficiency, which are vital in online environments.

Traffic management is the process of prioritizing, shaping and routing network traffic to ensure that critical applications remain available.

Traffic shaping (or packet shaping) is a technique of limiting the bandwidth that can be consumed by certain applications to ensure high performance for critical applications.

UDP is a standard protocol for communication across IP networks, but since UDP packets are stateless, they require less error checking and validation, in contrast to TCP. A UDP flood attack attempts to overload a server with requests by saturating the connection tables on every accessible port on a server.

A universal access controller is a centralized gateway where network traffic is inspected for compliance with established network access policies. Depending on user actions and how those are mapped against existing policies, network and application access is either granted or denied.

Universal access management capabilities ensure global companies can provide mobile and remote access to employees while still maintaining control over network security.

SSL termination refers to the process of decrypting encrypted traffic before passing it along to a web server.
