Pulse Secure® Virtual Traffic Manager is a high-performance Layer 7 load balancer & application delivery controller that enables you to offer High Availability through active-active deployment as well as create & manage & deliver services more quickly & flexibly. Highly portable, it can be deployed in any major cloud or hybrid environment. It controls & optimizes end-user services by inspecting, transforming, prioritizing & routing application traffic. Pulse vTM inspects & processes application traffic with full payload inspection & streaming. It applies a range of optimization techniques to ensure that incoming requests are presented in the most appropriate manner to the web & application servers. Responses from the application can be compressed, cached & returned to the client at optimum speed, freeing up resources on the server. Built-in TrafficScript language gives you full control over how individual requests are optimized, routed & transformed. Traffic management rules may also be created using Java™ Extensions. Pulse vTM includes a web-based admin interface to display powerful real-time analysis & history for all traffic across Traffic Manager clusters. Alternatively, you can integrate into remote management & event monitoring frameworks using SOAP APIs & SNMP. A Web Application Firewall module is available via other Pulse Secure AMIs. Note: Only the 18.3 version (or later) can be deployed on the nitro instance types.
