Wawasan Open University, Malaysia, Deploys Radware's Application Delivery
Solution to Deliver Ultra-Responsive 24/7 Access to Open Distance Learning
The First Not-for-Profit Private University in Malaysia Selects Radware to
Ensure Maximum Availability, Performance and Security of its key Networked
Applications

MAHWAH, New Jersey, February 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radware
(NASDAQ:RDWR), the leading provider of integrated application delivery
solutions for business-smart networking, today announced that Wawasan Open
University (WOU) has successfully deployed Radware's APSolute Application
Delivery Controller (ADC) solution, combining AppDirector and LinkProof
platforms, to build a business-smart network infrastructure for its distance
learning network.
WOU serves students around the country who need to access the network at
anytime from any where. Students and faculty require a reliable and
high-performance network as an educational resource to support the learning
and sharing of information. Faced with rapid growing network traffic and an
ever-increasing demand for accelerated Internet response speed required by
users, WOU turned to Radware in search of a high performance network
infrastructure and network optimization tool.
"Our University relies heavily on the network to serve a vast and
dispersed student population. The need for an infrastructure that ensures
continuous remote accessibility to our mission critical applications is
absolutely vital," said Mr Peter Chan, Director of IT Services of WOU.
"Radware's solution met our needs, because the combination of LinkProof and
AppDirector platforms provides end-to-end availability and security for the
University's servers and ISP links by eliminating bottlenecks while
delivering 24/7 availability."
Radware's AppDirector uses advanced Layer 4-7 policies with advanced
health checking capability based on HTTP and URL and granular application
intelligence to eliminate traffic surges, server bottlenecks, connectivity
disconnects and downtime to assure full application access, continuity and
redundancy of WOU's infrastructure. Radware's LinkProof platform ensures
non-stop link availability, load balancing and end-to-end application
optimization for reliable and high performing enterprise multi-homing. It
also prioritizes all link traffic for high quality (QoS) and guaranteed
service levels for mission critical applications, in addition to cost
effectively upgrading bandwidth to meet growth in connectivity requirements.
The combination of these two products intelligently integrates availability,
performance and security to control all traffic across networks at
multi-Gigabit speed. This eliminates service vulnerabilities, security
threats, and controlling bandwidth usage for complete continuity of
educational applications and dramatically cut operating costs.
"Our innovative application delivery solution is designed to address a
broad range of functions, which are crucial for business-smart networking.
This enables our customers to focus more on their business priorities" said
Yong Chuk Ping, Director of Asean, Radware, Singapore. "LinkProof's ability
to provide load balancing and high availability among ISPs has enabled WOU to
deploy multiple ISPs and obtain positive ROI on network savings all whilst
providing our students and faculty with the top-notch reliability and
high-performance needed."
