Libraries
Library Application Delivery Suite, or Library-ADS
This solution delivers an integrated set of tools and network systems that provide total digital content protection, application performance improvement, network management, and wireless and mobile computing infrastructure. These key technology areas have been identified by NLE and their library partners as key systems that are required to build the Library of the Future. This solution creates a safe, secure, mobile, and performance-based network environment to deliver applications, such as Software-As-A-Service, streaming multimedia, Voice-over-IP, RFID, mobile reference-librarian, gaming/simulation, video-conferencing, etc.

The library tradition is to provide a safe harbor for everyone in a local community for learning and sharing information. In the digital era, libraries are continuing these traditions while providing access to new digital media. To maintain an environment that promotes a sense of community and yet protects patrons from malicious computing activities is key for libraries to maintain their value and purpose. The library of the future creates the same levels of democracy and information sharing with electronic media as with traditional paper-based media.

Total network security, performance control, mobile-wireless networks, and advanced network management, are the application delivery tools that libraries need to remain relevant to the community and provide 21st Century library services.
