In computing, access control management refers to the management of access to systems, resources or other information for a user or user group. This often includes authentication to prove the identity of the user or group requesting access.

Application acceleration is the process of speeding the performance and delivery of applications with network componentry that leverages a variety of caching, compression and encryption methods to gain improved performance from application servers and faster delivery to end-point devices.

Application compatibility is the ability and level of support that a particular application may have within a specific run-time environment or operating system, such as the ability for a specific set of web browsers – for instance Internet Explorer or Firefox – to run on Linux.

An application delivery controller (ADC) is a network device that lives in the datacenter, located strategically between the firewall and one or more application servers. The ADC handles load balancing between servers and optimizes end-user performance and security for enterprise applications.

An application firewall is a network security device which controls input, output and/or access between an application and a service to protect applications from attacks.

Application management is the process of managing the lifecycle of an application, from development to deployment.

Application migration refers to the activities and processes involved in moving from one application to another, from one application version to another, or of moving an application from one operating system to another.

Application security refers to measures and countermeasures taken to protect applications from internal and external threats.

Application virtualization is a method of abstracting an application from the underlying operating system on which is it being used such that it is no longer installed on the end-user device, but instead delivered virtually to the end-user device.
