The Cisco ACE 4710 Application Control Engine (part number: ACE-4710-0.5-K9) is a robust application accelerator designed to enhance the efficiency and performance of enterprise applications. This device offers advanced load-balancing capabilities, helping to optimise server performance by distributing traffic more evenly across multiple servers. It supports both Layer 4 and Layer 7 processing, providing administrators with the flexibility to manage traffic at both the transport and application layers.
A key feature of the Cisco ACE 4710 is its ability to handle a high volume of simultaneous connections, making it ideal for large-scale environments where availability and scalability are critical. It supports up to 4 Gbps of throughput and has the capability to manage over 32,000 SSL transactions per second, which makes it suitable for secure web applications requiring encryption. This model includes hardware-based SSL acceleration, greatly reducing the load on application servers by offloading the CPU-heavy cryptographic processing to dedicated hardware.
The unit provides a range of advanced security features, including SSL termination, which simplifies encryption management, and application firewall functions that protect servers from common attacks such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting. Built for modern application environments, the Cisco ACE 4710 offers rich traffic management capabilities, improving not only resource use but also ensuring the resilience of applications under varied workload conditions.
Additionally, this model is compact and energy-efficient, designed to integrate easily into existing data centre environments while maintaining enterprise-level performance. It supports intuitive management via the Cisco device manager interface, as well as command-line configuration for users needing more in-depth control over traffic management policies.
