"When we started out 10 years ago, we were amazed at the response of the
market. This enabled us to grow rapidly, develop a strong offer, land large
accounts in the telecom, finance, e-business, education and health sectors
and form strong OEM partnerships with companies such as Comverse," stated Roy
Zisapel, co-founder, President and CEO of Radware. "In 2008, we plan to
reinforce our position as a leader in the marketplace through our
business-smart networking strategy, broaden our offer and commercialize
tailor-made solutions for companies in the enterprise and carrier spaces."
Radware's business-smart networking offers customers and partners
solutions that move beyond the point of keeping applications up and running.
It enables them to dig deeper into the network layers to provide a broader
and more detailed view of activity enabling companies in the enterprise and
carrier spaces to conduct their business more effectively. Business-smart
networking delivers on three specific requirements:
- understanding the behavior of the application on the network;
- understanding the user identity and
- understanding and interpreting business events embedded within
transactions.
In applying these three criteria Radware helps make its customers'
networks more intelligent so they can extract greater business value from
their data transactions. By arming customers with real-time access to
critical business data and intelligently routing, accelerating, and securing
that user session traffic, companies can optimize their business processes,
offer new products and services on-the-fly to customers, and halt identity
theft or fraudulent online behavior with minimal delay.
In essence, with Radware's business smart networking, companies will see
better ROI and lower TCO, improved business agility through their ability to
make real-time business decisions and take real-time action, increase
customer satisfaction and finally reduce costs and drive productivity.
Business smart networking is the future of IT and creating smart businesses.
It strengthens Radware's application delivery offer even further and has
become a key differentiator vis a vis the competition and other vendors in
the market.
In 2008, Radware will be using its innovative capabilities, experience
and passion to lead this next wave of development in the application delivery
sector. The company aims to reinforce its position in the market place
through its business-smart networking strategy providing customers and
partners in the enterprise and carrier spaces with the opportunity to become
