Retail Solutions

Success in retail is all about having the right products, at the right time, at the right price. Supply chain efficiency and employee productivity must be maximized to maintain control over margins. For online customers, secure transactions – and highly available, quick-and-easy access to rich content – are a must. And with an increasing number of retailers relying on the Internet to access point-of-sale, inventory, and credit card information, secure transmission of customer and store data from remote to central sites has become a fundamental requirement.

Known for industry-leading reliability, availability, scalability and performance for secure transaction processing, Array APV Series appliances play a critical role in some of the largest e-commerce deployments around the world. In addition to setting the standard for SSL acceleration, Array solutions also give retailers the ability to optimize the performance of back-end systems, secure connectivity for widespread operations and provide anytime, anywhere access for driving increase worker productivity.

Application Delivery


Web applications are a fact-of-life for retailers. Inventory tracking and order management systems keep tight controls on purchasing throughout the supply chain, at the same time enabling employees on the front lines to check stock and the status of ordered goods. Corporate intranets keep employees up to speed on human resources information as well as policies and procedures. Still more online programs manage customer loyalty programs, along with supplier and customer self-help tools.

Array application delivery solutions provide the means for retailers to maximize returns on application infrastructure, and in turn maximize returns on assets such as inventory and human resources. Load balancing and application traffic management provide high availability and agile control over data center resources. Integrated application acceleration ensures peak performance for employees, partners and the all-important customer, while SSL encryption maintains end-to-end data privacy and stateful packet inspection prevents DoS, virus, and worm attacks from compromising corporate and customer information.

Secure Access


Array SPX Series appliances enable secure access to Web applications, client-server applications and enterprise file shares for both remote users and remote locations. Communications are dramatically improved between corporate headquarters and franchise stores, and are greatly simplified for mobile and remote employees needing on-the-go access to office or point-of-sale applications.

In addition to securing and streamlining business processes, Array secure access solutions are also simple to deploy and easy to manage. More importantly, they provide IT administrators with granular control over data and resources, ensuring only designated personnel have access to restricted information. Array appliances integrate seamlessly without changes to the network or firewall, scale to support any size user base on a single unit, and unlike alternative solutions, maintain an instantaneous user experience in the face of surge usage and less-than-ideal network connections.
