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 datacenters 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 new Sun Secure Application Switch - N2000 Series. 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.

Sun has entered the crowded content-switching market with a novel twist: Its Sun Secure Application Switch N2120V lets users define multiple switching and routing domains on a single box.

Sun earned two finalist rankings in this category. The Sun N2120V content switch picked up kudos from tester David Newman for its good performance, with support for as many as 1.25 million concurrent connections and as many as 230,000 new connections set up each second. This makes the Sun box a fit for all but the very largest data centers. The key differentiator is the N2120V's ability to let users define multiple switching and routing domains on a single box.
