The Cisco Application Control Engine (ACE) is a next generation load balancer and application delivery platform with the industries only virtualized architecture. Cisco ACE has been designed to enable enterprises and service providers to securely isolate applications for department and customer environments and accelerate application deployments while reducing overall capex and opex associated with application delivery infrastructure.
As a virtualized load balancing and application delivery solution, Cisco ACE is designed to meet the requirements of the virtual datacenter. The benefits that can be gained from the deployment of a virtualized load balancer solution are similar to those that can be found from server virtualization. Cisco ACE allows IT teams to partition a physical ACE load balancing and application delivery device into multiple isolated virtual devices, each with the capabilities of the physical device. This virtualization capability allows users to reduce the number of physical devices deployed in the datacenter. The distinct virtualization capabilities of Cisco ACE allow customers to reduce both physical and environmental datacenter resources, resulting in significant overall cost savings with application delivery.
- Flexibility through complete isolation of applications, departments and customers
- Agility through accelerated and lower cost application rollouts and upgrades
- Reduced datacenter resource requirements
