The Cisco ACE 4710 Application Control Engine (ACE) is a versatile and high-performance platform designed to optimise data centre operations by providing advanced traffic management and application acceleration features. This part number, ACE-4710-BUN-SK-K9, represents an all-encompassing bundle that includes hardware and integrated software to enhance network performance.
One of the key highlights of the ACE 4710 is its ability to deliver load balancing capabilities, ensuring that server workloads are distributed evenly, which improves application responsiveness and reliability. It supports both Layer 4 and Layer 7 load balancing, thereby offering flexible, in-depth traffic management. The control engine is well-suited to managing high-demand applications by supporting a wide range of protocols, including HTTP, HTTPS, TCP, and UDP.
Another significant feature is the integrated SSL acceleration, which offloads the resource-intensive task of SSL encryption and decryption from application servers, allowing applications to perform more smoothly and securely without negatively impacting performance. Additionally, it supports server health monitoring features, ensuring servers are running optimally and can be bypassed if issues arise.
The ACE 4710 also delivers global site selection capabilities, enabling intelligent traffic distribution across multiple data centres, which contributes to business continuity and disaster recovery plans. Its modular licensing system allows businesses to scale features and capacity as they grow, offering flexibility to expand performance based on future needs. Moreover, it features a comprehensive security engine offering security enhancements like Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and content-based firewalling.
This application accelerator is designed to be highly reliable, with options for high availability configurations, including clustering for redundancy. This reduces the risk of service interruptions and ensures continuous service delivery for critical applications.
