Summary:A virtualized application delivery controller (ADC) device operable in a communication network comprises a hardware infrastructure including at least a memory, a plurality of core processors, and a network interface; a plurality of instances of virtual ADCs (vADCs), the plurality of vADCs are executed over the hardware infrastructure, each of the plurality of vADCs utilizes a portion of hardware resources of the hardware infrastructure, the portion of hardware resources are determined by at least one ADC capacity unit allocated for each of the plurality of the vADCs; a management module for at least creating the plurality of instances of the vADCs; and a traffic distributor for distributing incoming traffic to one of the plurality of vADCs and scheduling execution of the plurality of vADCs on the plurality of core processors, wherein each of the plurality of vADCs is independently executed on at least one of the plurality of core processors.
