While other vendors in the L4-7 application switching market have been concentrating on application-oriented features such as acceleration, security, and protocol-specific switching, Sun Microsystems has been quietly working on virtualization. In addition to traditional network-based failover capabilities, its recently released N1400V now also supports virtual failover capabilities. Instead of an all-or-nothing scenario, one set of virtual services can fail over to a second switch while the others keep running.

Sun Microsystems commissioned VeriTest to measure the SSL and Layer 7
performance of their Sun Secure Application Switch - N1000 Series. Sun
supplied a N1400 switch running version V2_0A51629 firmware and
configured with four small form factor Gigabit Ethernet ports.

For many CIOs, three key objectives dominate the IT support agenda. They
include improved organizational efficiency within stringent budget
constraints, sustained or improved service delivery quality and improved
business contribution, particularly in the areas of new application
enablement and customer service quality.

Until now, the increasing complex clutter of networking components
switches, routers, load balancers, and SSL acceleration appliances has
been left out of the equation, leaving data centers struggling with a
large number of discrete components, each with their own unique
management interfaces. That is why Sun Microsystems, with its long-held
belief that "The Network Is The Computer", virtualizes the network
itself with the Sun Secure Application Switch. The device consolidates a
broad range of network functions needed to deliver Web services into a
single, secure, high-performance, hardware-accelerated application
switch. Because Sun has virtualized storage, server, software and now
network resources, IT organizations have a complete, powerful set of
tools to implement service-delivery network architectures that can help
them cut cost and complexity while increasing performance and security.
