Radware (RDWR), a provider of application delivery and security solutions for cloud and virtual data centers, today announced an integration with Cisco Systems‘ (CSCO’s) Application Centric Infrastructure at Cisco Live in San Francisco.

The company said the integration could help enterprises simplify their IT tasks and respond to business critical application needs and security requirements.

In addition, Radware will now provide application delivery and security services that can be automated based on application policies.

“[By] integrating our product portfolio with Cisco’s ACI, we can provide great automation to simplify IT tasks so applications can be deployed faster and more efficiently, with application security, visibility, intelligence and optimization,” David Aviv, Radware’s vice president of advanced solutions, said in a prepared statement.

ACI features centralized automation and policy-driven application profiles. Cisco points out the infrastructure consists of:

  • A Cisco Application Virtual Switch (AVS)

  • A centralized policy management and Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller (APIC)

  • An open ecosystem of management, network, orchestration and storage

  • Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Switches

  • Hardware and software innovations

  • Integrated physical and virtual infrastructures

Radware also announced it has become an ACI-compliant ecosystem partner and is fully aligned with the application and open strategy that characterizes the infrastructure. Going forward, the company said it is targeting APIC integration.

“APIC will provide centralized access to all fabric information, optimizes the application lifecycle for scale and performance and supports flexible application provisioning across physical and virtual resources,” Radware said.
