Korea's Pantech Deploys Radware's ADC Solution to Create Next-Generation IT
Infrastructure for New R&D Center
Korea's Leading Mobile Handset Manufacturer Uses Radware Solution to Ensure
Maximum Availability, Performance and Security of Key Business Applications

SEOUL, Korea, March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Radware (NASDAQ: RDWR),
the leading provider of integrated application delivery solutions for
business-smart networking, announced today that Pantech, the leading Korean
mobile handset manufacturer, has deployed Radware's APSolute application
delivery controller (ADC) solution combining AppDirector and AppXcel.
Radware's ADC solution will be used by Pantech to build a next-generation
network infrastructure for its new research and development (R&D) center in
Sang-Am Digital Media City, Seoul, Korea.
Faced with rapidly growing network traffic and an ever-increasing demand
for accelerated web response speeds required by its R&D staff, Pantech turned
to Radware for a 10GE, high-performance network infrastructure also capable
of providing 24/7 availability and maximum security. Pantech selected
Radware's high-end AppDirector 6000 and AppXcel 16000 models, to create a
resilient, next-generation IT infrastructure that can optimally support
business-critical applications, essential to providing a competitive
advantage.
"For a company, staying at the technology forefront and ensuring that
critical applications used by our R&D staff remain up-and-running at all
times is absolutely crucial," said Byoung-Kuk Cheoi, IT Strategy Team,
Pantech Group. "We opted to deploy Radware products because the company's
field-proven solutions have significantly improved our application
availability and productivity without ever compromising on performance or
security. Now we are not only able to accommodate user traffic but also
provide a more reliable and faster service."
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 Pantech's infrastructure. AppXcel boosts application response
times for the company's end users through a comprehensive set of acceleration
technologies including compression, caching, HTTP multiplexing, TCP
optimization. Pantech is now able to reduce the load of its web servers and
provide much faster services during specific seasons when Internet traffic
can suddenly increase rapidly i.e. following a promotional event.
"Our integrated ADC solution is designed to address a broad range of
functions crucial for business-smart networking - availability, performance,
and security of mission-critical applications - allowing our customers to
enhance network performance and increase productivity thus, enabling IT to
become a strategic business contributor," said Kevin Kim, Country Manager,
Radware, Korea. "Companies like Pantech understand the importance of aligning
network infrastructure with business priorities and we look forward to
helping them achieve greater business success."
