Overview
Pulse Secure® Virtual Traffic Manager with Web Application Firewall is a high-performance Load Balancer & application delivery controller designed to deliver fast, secure & more reliable access to web sites & applications & offers 'High Availability' via active-active deployment. Highly portable, it can be deployed across all major clouds and hybrid environments. It controls & optimizes end-user services by inspecting, transforming, prioritizing & routing 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 while freeing up resources on the server. The Pulse vWAF surrounds your applications with a strong security perimeter that establishes a secure session identifier, proactively encrypts cookies & URLs & applies site usage enforcement. Signatures & ID tools block SQL injection & cross-site scripting by securing common vulnerabilities. You receive real-time alerts & reports on attack trends, application behavior & more for full audit tracking & logging. You can test ruleset suggestions in shadow mode prior to enforcing behavior & improve performance by creating white and black lists. The Brocade vWAF helps meet PCI-DSS 6.6 requirements. Only the 18.3 version (or later) can be deployed on the nitro instance types.
Highlights
- Security: Defend against common application vulnerabilities such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, etc. Proactively secure applications with a strong security perimeter that creates a secure session ID and applies site usage enforcement.
- Speed and Reliability: Accelerate services, increase capacity, and reduce costs by offloading performance-draining tasks such as SSL and compression and improve application availability by intelligently distributing traffic.
- Ease of management: Virtual Traffic Manager makes it easy to manage how users interact with applications and the infrastructure those applications depend on.

Dimensions summary
You pay by the hour based on the AWS EC2 instance type you run this software on. Each dimension names a specific instance size, from smaller general-purpose types to larger compute-, memory-, and storage-optimized ones. Larger instances carry more vCPUs and memory, so the hourly rate scales with the instance you choose. This edition includes the Virtual Traffic Manager Standard load balancing capabilities plus a Web Application Firewall rated at 10Mbps throughput. Pick the instance that matches your capacity needs; billing follows your actual running hours.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
Each hourly rate pays for running the software on one AWS EC2 instance of that named size. The rate reflects the instance's vCPU and memory. You choose one instance type; billing meters each hour that instance runs, not the number of applications or users behind it.
Software charges accrue only while the instance runs. A stopped or powered-off instance does not meter software hours. You may still pay AWS for attached storage on a stopped instance, but the software licence bills running time only.
No. This edition delivers Virtual Traffic Manager Standard load balancing plus a Web Application Firewall rated at 10Mbps regardless of instance choice. A larger instance adds vCPUs and memory for handling more traffic and connections, but the licensed firewall throughput stays fixed.

Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.
