We've dealt with the reverse proxy before; it pretty much goes in that direction. It has a load balancer component for the reverse proxy which allows us to do some content caching. These are use cases that I have experience with. The native method is something else that you don't see with the traditional NGINX controllers, the proprietary version, as well as the open-source version. When I started this project, I wanted to see what steps needed to be taken in order to add a third-party application into Harmony Controller. To begin with, I just put a simple web server in it. I just tried to set up the initial environment. I asked myself, "If this is what it should look like in the end, what steps should I perform to reach this goal?" At the end of the day, I needed to perform some custom integration between Lightning ADC and Harmony controller on the front-end side. Once Kubernetes was involved, I could deploy and monitor whatever applications I wanted.
Find out what your peers are saying about A10 Networks, NetScaler, Progress Software and others in Application Delivery Controllers (ADC). Updated: May 2026.
Application Delivery Controllers (ADC) are essential in managing traffic and ensuring availability, security, and speed of applications in modern IT environments.These devices optimize application traffic while improving security and reliability. ADCs can enhance user experiences by boosting application performance and availability. They manage tasks such as load balancing, SSL offloading, and application acceleration to address performance demands.What are the critical features of this...
We sell a couple of boxes to Comodo Federal and Bank of Brazil, which are the biggest banks here in Brazil. They also have a F5 tool.
We use this solution to provide application delivery and load balancing to our clients.
