China Eastern Airlines Selects Radware to Handle Peak Traffic for the Olympic Games

   Complete ADC Solution Deployed to Ensure a Smooth Ride for Passengers



    MAHWAH, New Jersey, July 15 /EMWNews-FirstCall/ -- Radware (NASDAQ:

RDWR), the leading provider of integrated application delivery solutions

for business-smart networking, today announced that China Eastern, one of

the leading Chinese airlines, has successfully deployed Radware's APSolute

application delivery controller (ADC) solution combining AppXcel,

LinkProof, and SecureFlow with Radware's application & network security

product, DefensePro to optimize the e-commerce and web applications at the

core of its mission-critical business applications.



    China Eastern has used Radware's complete ADC solution to build its

next-generation network infrastructure to effectively resolve network

access delays and IS problems. As such, it has increased user access

response rates and enhanced the monitoring, control and management of its

entire e-commerce system. This has enabled China Eastern to provide more

efficient services to its passengers and meet challenges presented by the

organization of the Olympic Games.



    With steady economic growth in China, an upsurge of the tourism

industry on the mainland and the upcoming Olympic Games, China Eastern has

been facing tremendous pressure to handle an unprecedented volume of

network access. The airline had an urgent need to upgrade its network to

increase the utilization of multiple Internet links and enable a fast

response-rate for different ISP users without affecting the operation and

stability of the existing intranet, extranet, Internet and wireless local

area networks. At the same time, the airline also needed to implement an

effective protection mechanism against DoS/DDoS attacks to ensure high

availability, performance and security network access for all

business-critical applications throughout the Olympic Games and holiday

season.



    To address these needs, China Eastern turned to Radware, who proposed

and deployed a total ADC solution inclusive of its LinkProof, SecureFlow,

AppXcel and DefensePro products.






    - LinkProof, not only provides availability of the Internet at all times

      and optimizes the use of these links but also enables intelligent load

      balancing between ISPs without the need to coordinate between them.

      LinkProof selects the best ISP link that will give China Eastern

      customers the fastest access to data across the Internet;



    - SecureFlow, uses granular application intelligence to optimize the

      performance of best-of-breed content inspection, anti-virus, VPN, IDS

      and firewall security tools. Its unified, scalable, switch architecture

      ensures 24/7 security policy enforcement, high availability, fast

      response time and transparent, cost-effective scaling of the full range

      of data center security devices at China Eastern;



    - AppXcel boosts application response times for the airline's end users

      through a comprehensive set of acceleration technologies including

      compression, caching, HTTP multiplexing, TCP optimization and more;



    - Radware's award-winning DefensePro protects from external intrusion,

      scans in high-speed, in-depth and real-time application traffic,

      protecting and preventing China Eastern's website from threats and

      attacks.



    "Through the deployment of Radware's high performance and all-around

business-smart networking solution, we have promptly improved the

performance of our networking system," said Mr. Dong Ming, of the

Information Technology Management Department at China Eastern. "By ensuring

the high availability, stability and security of our Internet links, this

new system provides our passengers with a more stable, quick and timely

transaction service. The real-time protection used against DoS /DDoS

attacks also ensures the security of our business-critical system and

safeguards our investment," he added.



    "We offered a complete solution, leveraging our industry-leading

real-time monitoring technology, always-available solutions,

business-critical acceleration capability and real-time protection against

intrusions and DoS/DDoS attacks," said Mr. Zhao Jun, General Manager of

North China Region of Radware. "This has enabled us to create a new

business model for users in the aviation industry, enabling them to easily

manage their ever evolving needs."
