abstract:An application delivery controller (ADC) is a computer network device in a datacenter, often part of an application delivery network (ADN), that helps perform common tasks such as those done by web sites to remove load from the web servers themselves. Many also provide load balancing.
But if an organization that runs four separate applicationdelivery functions, for example, could consolidate them on a single applicationdeliverycontroller, it could reduce the total number of devices from eight to two.
