Don’t Get Left Behind
Are your application delivery controllers holding you back? Traditional ADC solutions were designed for yesterday’s data centers, and they weren’t meant to move with the times. They don’t fit into modern virtual and cloud architectures, and these legacy assets can hold back your IT transformation.
Over-Provisioned, Under-Utilized
Many traditional ADCs and load balancers never reach their full potential, because they are over-provisioned with excess capacity which may never be used, since it takes too long to expand resources with a forklift upgrade.
Application (In)visibility
Can your ADC help you correlate application performance problems across clusters and data centers? Or are you lost in a sea of unstructured data, with no way to spot trends and patterns in today’s complex applications?
Inflexible ADCs
Your IT infrastructure is constantly changing, with new applications being launched all the time, and old applications being retired. Shouldn’t your ADCs and load balancers flex with the demands of your IT infrastructure?
Capacity-Based Licensing for true ADC-as-a-Service
Why pay for ADC capacity you don’t need or use? Pulse Services Director takes the guesswork out of sizing application delivery services, so there is no need to pre-purchase ADC capacity in advance. With this new usage-based business model, you are in control of your costs: you can allocate the charges for internal and external client applications based, for true ADC-as-a-Service.
Right-Size your ADCs
With Pulse vADC’s unique capacity-based licensing, you can decide how much capacity each application should use. Start small, add capacity only when you need it. Add more capacity to a growing application from your central resource pool, or dial back down as application needs change, and reuse/reallocate as needed.
Powerful Analytics
Gain insight into your applications with a powerful analytics tool that analyzes end-to-end traffic flows. Eliminating the need to sift through mountains of raw data, Virtual Services Director helps you explore and visualize the traffic flows to develop actionable insights, drill down to identify the root cause of performance problems, and optimize your applications.
On-demand Provisioning
Deploy new application delivery services in minutes, reducing time to market for new applications and services. Create new vADC instances instantly on a per-application or per-tenant basis, start and stop instances for service migration, and pre-provision vADCs for even faster “instantly-on” services.

Benefits
Automatically provision, deploy, license, meter, and manage the inventory of thousands of virtual ADCs in an “as-a-service” model using the Pulse Virtual Traffic Manager as the core application delivery platform:
- Capacity Management: Share capacity between a number of vADC instances
- Demand management: Dial resources up and down to meet changes in demand
- Monitoring: Continuous health checks for your fleet of vADCs
- Licensing: Automated license key administration and renewal
- Metering: Usage tracking to allow charge back to individual app owners
Elastic Application Delivery
Complete Lifecycle Management for Agile Applications
Pulse Secure Services Director lets you automatically provision, deploy, license, meter, and manage the inventory of thousands of ADCs in an “as-a-service” model, using the Pulse Virtual Traffic Manager as the core application delivery platform.
Pulse Services Director also enables a new consumption model for customers deploying ADC services. This allows ADC services to be scaled elastically and be right-sized on demand to suit each application in your data center, offering high density, full isolation, and multi- tenancy capabilities.
Flexible and on-demand licensing
Why pay for ADC capacity you don’t need or use? Pulse Services Director takes the guesswork out of sizing application delivery services, so there is no need to pre-provision excess ADC capacity in advance.
Enterprise Scalability
Manage the lifecycle of thousands of vADC instances under the same shared resourcing pool, with a high-level view of vADC utilization across your data center and cloud deployments.
Agile ADC provisioning
Deploy application delivery services in minutes, reducing time to market for new applications and services, and even pre-provision vADC instances for even faster “instant-on” services.
Reporting and Service Visibility
Comprehensive suite of reports for intuitive point-in-time information on utilization, health and performance for managed applications.
Powerful Graphical Analytics
Intuitive graphical analysis to give deep insight into end-to-end traffic flows and transactions, helping you to understand how traffic flows through your vTM estate, and identify performance problems and application issues
Centralized Backup/Restore
Set backup and restore policies centrally from Services Director; No need to manage backups for each individual Traffic Manager.

Flexible Deployment Options
Pulse Virtual Services Director lets you build a truly flexible application delivery infrastructure which complements your data center transformation strategy. No need to decide how many vADCs you will need to deploy. You can start small, and create virtual services to manage applications in a phased approach.
Capacity-Based Licensing
Deploy as many vADCs of any size as you need. The only limit is the total flexible capacity in your resource pool, defined by the Bandwidth Packs installed. This means you can draw an unlimited number of instances, subject to the overall licensed bandwidth limits.
Bandwidth Packs
Pulse Services Director uses the concept of Bandwidth Packs to provide a poll of flexible capacity for deploying Pulse vADC services. Each Base Bandwidth Pack adds to this pool, and each vADC instance reserves a portion of the resource pool for its own exclusive use.
Start Small, Grow Quickly
Increase the available capacity using additional Bandwidth Packs. There is no requirement to purchase the same capacity of add-on bandwidth packs each time, and you can assign capacity and capabilities only to those instances that need it.
Feature Tiers
Bandwidth packs are available in two key feature tiers, the Advanced Edition with the most common ADC capabilities, and the Enterprise Edition including WAF, WCO and more.
Analytics Packs
Bandwidth Packs can be enhanced by adding an Analytics Pack. Analytics capacity can be assigned to instances to enable export or capture of data for the Analytics Application. For Analytics packs, the throughput refers to the capacity of the vADC instance itself, not to the data capture rate.
Dramatic Cost Savings, Flexible Deployment Options
Pulse Services Director’s capacity-based licensing lets you right-size agile applications, so you can adapt to rapidly-changing requirements. Never again install ADC capacity that you may never use, and share and reallocate resources across all your applications, whether virtual, cloud or on dedicated server appliances.
- Start Small, Grow Quickly: Pulse Services Director helps agile development, with a low-risk, rapid implementation model. Create small services, add more capacity whenever you need to, and scale up and out for global applications.
- Deep Insight into End-to-End Traffic Flows: Identify and resolve performance problems more quickly, with a powerful analytical application that gives you incredible insights into end-to-end traffic flows.
- 10x Faster Application Provisioning: Pulse vADC offers a complete set
of tools to deploy services rapidly, wherever and whenever they are needed. ADC instances can be deployed in minutes, rather than weeks, and can be adapted quickly to meet changing workloads and application updates.
