A10 Networks Plans Pricing

A10 Networks does not publish list prices for its APIs or appliances. The aXAPI itself is included with every ACOS-licensed device at no additional per-call charge. Commercial entitlement is purchased through hardware appliances (Thunder ADC / TPS / CGN / CFW SKUs), vThunder VM and container licenses, and the Capacity FlexPool — a pooled, term-based licensing model that lets organizations move capacity (bandwidth, SSL TPS, DDoS mitigation capacity, etc.) across vThunder instances. The A10 Defend Threat Control service is a SaaS subscription. All pricing is quote-based via direct sales and authorized resellers.
