Are your Applications Letting You Down?
Unhappy customers? Application Overload? Security Vulnerabilities? Cloud and network latency problems? Pulse Secure can help you take back control of your applications, to deliver a more consistent and responsive user experience in the most demanding environments.
Slow applications?
Are your users complaining about poor performance? Are your customers frustrated by slow transactions? Slow business applications negatively impact employee productivity, while slow e-commerce applications can directly lead to lost customers and abandoned shopping carts.
Outage overload?
70% of IT professionals are not confident that their applications will be able to meet their SLAs when they are overloaded during traffic surges. Applications are most at risk of outages at the very moment that they are needed the most – Black Friday, Disaster Recovery, Campaign launches – and organizations risk losing reputation and revenue
Vulnerable Applications?
How long does it take to push out application updates? How quickly can you resolve critical vulnerabilities in third-party applications? If your application infrastructure is not agile, then your developers have to wait, held back by traditional change procedures, and they can only update applications during planned update windows
Transform Application Delivery and Responsiveness
Pulse Virtual Traffic Manager can transform the way you manage your users and applications, exceeding user expectations and delighting your customers.
High Performance and Reliability
Offload compute-intensive tasks such as SSL/TLS termination and intelligent content caching for reduced load on your application infrastructure. Protocol offload, traffic buffering, and concurrency control let your applications run at peak performance.
Service Protection
Protect applications with server isolation, request and response scrubbing, request validation, and protective traffic shaping. Defend against direct attacks, invalid or malformed requests, and malicious or incidental flash floods.
Software-Defined Policies
Implement business policies with Pulse Secure RuleBuilderTMand Pulse Secure TrafficScriptTM language or create JavaTMextensions for complex business rules. Integrate Pulse Virtual Traffic Manager within existing application management and orchestration infrastructure with REST APIs.

Benefits
Purpose Built to Deliver More Responsive Applications
Pulse Virtual Traffic Manager ensures high application accessibility with unmatched scalability and performance.
Powerful Traffic Management Capabilities
Load Balancing
Intelligent load balancing for IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, with a range of built-in LB algorithms, or create custom LB algorithms to suit specific application needs.
SSL/TLS Offload
Off-load SSL/TLS key exchanges and decryption to optimize application performance, and simplify key management for large-scale web applications.
Bandwidth Management
Set bandwidth limits on specific applications or domains, or reserve bandwidth for critical services, and enforce access limits based on user, service or location.
Clustering
Unmatched scale and performance, with support for multi-core CPU to scale up, or scale out for massive N+M clustering for reliability and throughput across hybrid cloud architecture
RESTful Control API
Simplify administration of large/complex configurations, with configuration and service orchestration, and automate configuration changes in response to an event.
Rate Shaping
Restrict the number of requests (per minute or per second) to a service, to optimize user experience, prioritize valuable users and transactions, and even limit unwanted traffic such as spiders or repeated downloads
