Application Delivery Controllers

An Application Delivery Controller (ADC) is a network device that manages and optimizes the delivery of web applications and services. Think of it as a traffic cop that directs user requests efficiently to the appropriate servers, ensuring fast, reliable, and secure access. It balances the load across servers, protects against cyber threats, and improves overall performance. ADCs are essential for maintaining high availability and responsiveness of online applications, especially during heavy traffic or cyberattacks, ensuring users experience seamless service regardless of demand.
