    Overview
    Brocade ADX Series, used by service provider networks and large enterprise data centers, provides a comprehensive application delivery portfolio. All Brocade ADX platforms run the same software and support the same features. In addition, the base model for all Brocade ADX platforms can be upgraded via two software licenses - a Premium feature license and an SSL license. The Brocade ADX family of application delivery switches includes: Brocade ADX 1000 Series, Brocade ADX 4000 Series and Brocade ADX 10000 Series.

    NGINX Plus is a versatile solution that offers load balancing, caching, proxying, and API deployment capabilities. It can be deployed on private or public clouds and is ideal for building CDN solutions. The solution can also be used to secure web applications and replace web services like Apache. 

    NGINX has helped organizations improve functioning, reduce downtimes, and offer a DevOps-friendly solution. Its community support and documentation are highly regarded, and its configuration is more straightforward, making it a recommended choice over HAProxy.
