A10 Networks introduces its aCloud service architecture for provisioning Layer 4-7 application networking services in cloud data centers on-demand. The architecture leverages A10's Thunder series of physical and virtual appliances along with aCloud's pay-as-you-go licensing model. It integrates with OpenStack to dynamically provision services like load balancing, DDoS protection, and SSL offloading when deploying new workloads. This provides automation, operational agility, flexible form factors, and reduced costs compared to legacy static data center designs.
