Optimize application delivery with NGINX One
Today’s organizations are prioritizing priorities such as application availability and performance optimization. It’s crucial to ensure a seamless digital experience. NGINX One simplifies this process. It enables teams to proactively monitor and manage their application delivery infrastructure, ensuring high availability and performance. Even under heavy workloads and complex environments. With NGINX One, organizations can take advantage of extensive scaling capabilities by deploying instances in a variety of environments, such as containers, virtual machines, physical servers and Kubernetes.
Handling heavy loads
NGINX, as an open-source web server and reverse proxy, is designed to efficiently handle large workloads. NGINX One builds on this feature with additional enterprise-class capabilities and advanced observability. The NGINX One console provides an API with a wide range of metrics that make it easy to monitor and manage traffic spikes. With this and configuration features, users can dynamically scale instances to respond to sudden increases in load to ensure uninterrupted application availability.
Configuration optimization
The configuration recommendation engine in NGINX One plays a key role in quickly detecting and resolving configuration errors. Based on the years of experience of NGINX developers, the engine automatically analyzes configurations, offering recommendations for security, optimization and best practices. High priority is assigned to security-related tips to ensure that applications are protected from potential vulnerabilities. Optimization recommendations help tweak configurations to achieve the highest performance, while those related to best practices point to industry standards.
Users can easily edit and update configurations in the NGINX One console. It allows changes to be implemented quickly without the need for advanced knowledge of NGINX. This makes the process more efficient and reduces the risk of configuration errors that could affect application availability and performance.
Identification and resolution of bottlenecks
NGINX One’s performance monitoring feature provides a centralized view of of all NGINX instances. This allows users to quickly identify and eliminate bottlenecks. Whether an organization manages a few or thousands of instances, the system flags those requiring attention based on key metrics such as high error rates (4xx and 5xx), excessive network traffic or intensive resource consumption.
A preview panel indicates instances with abnormal parameters, allowing quick corrective action. NGINX One also integrates with the F5 Distributed Cloud Services notification feature, allowing you to receive alerts through popular channels such as Slack and PagerDuty.
By automating the process of identifying bottlenecks and providing real-time, ongoing notifications, NGINX One eliminates the need for continuous monitoring. At the same time, it reduces the time required to resolve performance issues. This proactive approach ensures application availability and performance.
Real-time insight and observability
NGINX One console provides detailed insight into the status, security and performance of NGINX instances. The platform monitors key elements such as instance availability, traffic flow and TLS certificate validity. It reports any potential problems for immediate resolution.
Security vulnerabilities are carefully monitored, and NGINX One provides detailed information about threats, how to neutralize them and remediation steps. This ensures that applications remain secure and compliant, minimizing the risk of interruptions resulting from security breaches.
NGINX One seamlessly integrates with existing platforms for observability, notification and logging, using industry standards such as OpenTelemetry. This makes it easy to collect and analyze application delivery data, offering a comprehensive view of application performance and availability.
As NGINX One evolves, further improvements are planned, including the introduction of application-centered views and machine learning-based tools. Additionally, it will increase observability and provide practical insights. These advances will enable organizations to proactively optimize their application delivery infrastructure and ensure optimal performance.
A revolutionary solution for businesses
NGINX One is a breakthrough solution for companies that want to ensure application availability and optimize application performance in a demanding digital environment. With NGINX One, enterprises can focus on innovation and offering exceptional user experiences, confident that their application delivery infrastructure is optimized for performance and availability.
