More About Array Networks

Array Networks focuses on networking and security platforms used to deliver, secure, and optimize enterprise applications across on-premises (on-prem) data centers, private clouds, and public cloud environments. Its portfolio centers on application delivery controllers (application delivery) and SSL VPN platforms (secure remote access) delivered as physical appliances, virtual appliances, and cloud-hosted instances to support varied deployment models and enterprise architectures.

In application delivery, Array Networks products are used as front-end gateways that System Integration Testing (SIT) between users and application servers to handle Layer 4–7 traffic management, including load balancing, SSL/TLS offload, health checking, and content switching. These platforms typically support standard networking and security protocols such as Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), HTTP/HTTPS, SSL/TLS, and IPv4/IPv6, and integrate with routing, firewall, and identity infrastructures. They are positioned for use with web applications, enterprise business systems, and cloud workloads, and can be deployed in high-availability clusters for failover and reliability.

For secure remote access, Array Networks offers SSL VPN and secure access gateways (secure remote access) that provide authenticated, encrypted connectivity for remote workers and third parties accessing internal applications and services. These appliances use SSL/TLS over HTTPS and commonly integrate with enterprise directory services and identity providers via protocols such as RADIUS, LDAP, and Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) for Single Sign-On (SSO) and policy-based access control. Clientless and client-based access modes are used to support browser-based access as well as native application connectivity.

Array Networks positions its platforms for enterprises, service providers, and public-sector organizations that require traffic management and secure access for distributed users and applications. The company offers both hardware appliances installed in customer data centers and virtual appliances deployed on hypervisors or in Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) environments, supporting hybrid and multi-cloud architectures. These solutions are used alongside firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, and other security tools as part of a broader network and security stack.

Within an enterprise technology directory, Array Networks fits into categories such as application delivery controllers and load balancers (application delivery), SSL VPN and secure access gateways (secure remote access), and virtual and physical networking appliances (network infrastructure). Its product lines are typically evaluated alongside other Layer 4–7 traffic management and secure remote access platforms when organizations define architectures for application availability, performance, and controlled connectivity for remote and mobile users.
