Leading the Market and Driving Growth
Maintaining the top position and achieving steady market growth reflects more than just the progress of an application delivery product. It also marks the evolution of China's application delivery technology—from following international standards to defining them.
Despite the technological barriers set by global giants, Sangfor remains dedicated to enhancing user experience in application delivery, achieving two key transformations:
- From "Available" to "Exceptional" – Improving usability and performance.
- From "Alternative" to "Superior" – Surpassing traditional solutions.
Let’s explore the technological innovations and practices behind Sangfor AD’s seamless replacement and experience upgrades.
Ensuring Core Business Stability with High Reliability
When choosing an application delivery product, users focus on both the reliability of core business operations and performance experience. As user demands grow, Sangfor AD ensures uninterrupted service even during peak business periods, thanks to a dual-engine approach: reliability assurance and performance optimization.
10x Overload Pressure – Stable & Reliable
Traditional devices handle sudden traffic spikes and business surges by dropping packets. However, Sangfor AD utilizes connection queuing technology, achieving:
- 80% stable operation under 2x pressure.
- 60% overload capacity even under extreme 10x pressure, whereas conventional solutions would crash.
Seamless Business Continuity in Unexpected Scenarios
Even in cases of VS deletion, node deactivation, or application restarts, Sangfor AD ensures:
- Current connections remain stable.
- Backend CPU usage and transaction success rates stay optimal.
- Controlled CPU fluctuations even when backend applications temporarily stop or restart.
This robust reliability mechanism successfully passed the stringent stability tests conducted by a major commercial bank, demonstrating resilience in real-world critical business environments.
Accelerating Business Growth with High Performance
Sangfor AD continuously optimizes performance in scenarios such as high concurrency, real-time transactions, middleware, databases, and storage. Our key performance enhancements include:
- Latency Optimization:
