Introduction

A10 Control is A10 Networks’ next-generation centralized management and analytics platform for A10 secure application services. It provides a single pane of glass to manage A10 Thunder® devices (physical, virtual, and cloud instances) across on-premises data centers and clouds, offering real-time visibility into application traffic and device performance.

Key Features

• Unified Management and Security Framework: Supports a robust multi-tenancy model through an Organization-Org Unit (formerly referred as "provider-tenant" in Harmony Controller) architecture, which can accommodate multiple organization admins. Each organization admin is capable of handling multiple organization admins and user roles. Users get enhanced security with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and empower users with role-based access control for granular permissions and simultaneous logins.
• Flexible Account Management: Application teams can directly obtain organization accounts, while the IT team can manage internal and external tenants through organization accounts. Organization admins can also handle the updates and maintenance of the platform independently.
• Secure Data Transmission: Only control messages, metrics, and telemetry data are exchanged between A10 Control and application service instances. If both Internal and external communications are SSL encrypted, then it communicates through the SSL communication protocols, adhering to industry standards for enhanced security.
• Multi-Layered Protection: Implements network-layer ACLs and encryption for secure data exchanges within subsystems, ensuring isolated environments and enhanced security.
