Identity-Aware Application Delivery, Across Regions
Success in a multi-region architecture is not only about routing traffic to the right region — it is about deciding, in one place, who reaches which application under what policy in every region.
Disaster recovery, active-active delivery, hybrid data centers, geographic compliance and distributed user bases all require a multi-region delivery layer. When the same applications meet users in different geographies, another decision joins the path: who is connecting, what are they entitled to, and under what conditions can they reach the application?
The TR7 GeoAccess Bundle unifies these three decisions on one platform. GTM produces every DNS answer based on health, latency, geography and traffic policy; ADC publishes and load-balances the application in the chosen region; AAM evaluates every request against identity, session and per-application policy. They share the same backend pool, the same health signal, the same certificate store and the same operator surface. The bundle also includes the two-region scope of TR7 Central Management and the 25-endpoint quota of TR7 ETM.
Global Routing. Local Delivery. Identity-Aware Access. One Platform.
The TR7 GeoAccess Bundle combines GTM's regional decision at the DNS layer, ADC's in-region delivery and AAM's identity-aware access on a single platform. Health data, service definitions, certificates, identity sources and the management experience are shared.
3 Products + 2 Add-ons, One Bundle
The GeoAccess Bundle delivers the full capability of ADC, AAM and GTM — plus the two-region scope of TR7 Central Management and the 25-endpoint quota of TR7 ETM included in the bundle. Global routing, in-region delivery, identity-aware access and primary/secondary site management run on one license, from one console.

TR7 Central Management — Two-Region Scope
For more than two regions or larger device inventories, the TR7 Central Management add-on activates with full scope.
Explore TR7 Central ManagementFirst 25 Endpoints Included with the GeoAccess Bundle
The TR7 GeoAccess Bundle adds a 25-endpoint TR7 ETM license alongside ADC, AAM and GTM. You don't just distribute application traffic, manage user access and run global routing — you also gain visibility into the devices, mobile endpoints and servers across your organization from the same platform.
TR7 ETM provides live telemetry through a single management layer running on laptops, phones and servers. Which device is on which version, whether the security agent is running, who connects from where and which server is under stress are all monitored from one console.
When a device poses a risk, you can run remote commands, retrieve files, terminate processes or isolate the device from the network. On the server side, live data such as CPU, RAM, disk and service health make ADC's traffic decisions smarter.
25 endpoints are included with the GeoAccess Bundle. Laptops, mobile devices and servers count from the same pool. When more capacity is needed, TR7 ETM scales with 50, 100, 500, 1,000 and unlimited endpoint options.
Region Selection, Delivery and Access Sit on One Policy Plane
In multi-region enterprise applications, the region DNS returns, the service ADC carries in that region and the identity context AAM evaluates are not independent decisions. When all three layers run from the same health signal, the same backend pool and the same policy model, multi-region architecture converges into a single operational discipline.
One health signal, three layers
When a backend in one region becomes unhealthy, ADC uses that signal for in-region delivery; GTM reflects it in the DNS answer set; AAM uses it to pick the application target it forwards a user to. You do not need three monitoring stacks, three health endpoints or three alerting rules.
Identity context travels with the region
When a user is routed from one region to another, the session, MFA state and per-application authorization are not reset. AAM's session model is platform-wide; failover, active-active and geographic routing do not break the user experience.
One service definition, three consumers
The backend pool is defined once. ADC uses it for in-region delivery, GTM references it for the global routing decision, AAM uses the same definitions as targets for its access policies. There is no need to maintain three separate inventories across three products.
One operational discipline
DNS, ADC and identity teams work from the same operator surface. Policy changes follow a single mental model. Classic integration gaps — 'DNS routed to the region but the app's access policy was stale' or 'ADC moved the service but the identity decision came from a different console' — disappear.
Five Scenarios Where the GeoAccess Bundle Is Strongest
The ADC + AAM + GTM combination solves global routing, in-region delivery and identity-aware access together for multi-region application architectures. In every scenario, the DNS decision, service health, application delivery and access policy are managed from the same platform.
Disaster recovery failover with session continuity
When the primary data center has an issue, GTM moves traffic to the secondary region; ADC publishes the application there; AAM continues to recognize existing sessions in the new region without re-authentication. Users keep working while the infrastructure transitions.
Regional access policies under multi-region active-active
In applications running concurrently across multiple geographies, the identity source, application entitlement set and MFA requirements may differ per region. GTM routes the user to the right region, ADC delivers locally, AAM applies that region's policy in each region — all managed from one console.
Consistent identity across hybrid DC and cloud region
When some applications run in the on-prem data center and others in a cloud region, GTM unifies both environments under a single DNS policy; ADC handles local delivery in each; AAM runs the same directory and same policy across both. The hybrid architecture is managed as a single multi-region identity-aware service.
Geography-aware access and data residency
Data residency, regulation or sanction requirements may dictate that certain users only reach certain regions and only certain applications. GTM applies geographic routing, AAM enforces identity-based access boundaries, ADC delivers to the healthy service once traffic lands in the region.
Multi-region third-party and contractor access
Partners, contractors and external teams may access different applications from different regions. AAM enforces identity-based access boundaries, GTM routes to the nearest healthy region, ADC handles the delivery. Temporary accounts, limited application access and audit trail are managed from one platform.
Three Layers Sharing the Same Health, Service, Identity and Certificate Data
In TR7 GeoAccess, ADC, AAM and GTM do not operate as three products bolted together after the fact. They share the same service definitions, the same health signal, the same certificate store, the same identity source and the same operator experience.
Live health signal from ADC to GTM
When a backend in one region becomes unhealthy, GTM does not rediscover it; it shares ADC's health view. DNS answers drop the affected region from the answer set and route users to healthy regions.
AAM session valid across regions
When a user is routed from one region to another, the AAM session is not restarted. MFA state, per-application authorization and access context remain consistent platform-wide; failover and active-active routing do not break the user experience.
One backend pool, three consumers
GTM data center entries, ADC delivery rules and AAM access policies all reference the same backend pool definitions. No duplicate inventory, no separate health endpoints, no three different service-management disciplines.
One certificate lifecycle
Certificates managed via ACME or internal PKI are kept in a single store. When the same certificate is used across regions, renewal and deployment follow a single lifecycle; all three layers read from the shared store.
Live configuration reload
DNS policies, ADC delivery rules and AAM access policies are applied to live traffic. Cross-region transitions, policy changes or new application rollouts require no service outage or manual synchronization between the three products.
One License. No Per-Region Meter. No Three Separate Consoles.
Solving global routing, in-region delivery and identity-aware access with three separate products increases license, integration, observability and operations cost. TR7 GeoAccess consolidates the three core layers under a single bundle.
One license, no per-region surcharge
ADC, AAM and GTM capabilities are delivered in a single bundle. When you add a new region, you do not need a separate DNS module license, a query counter, an identity-connection meter or a region-tier upgrade.
No separate DNS, identity or management VM
GTM, AAM and ADC run on the same platform model. You do not need to deploy a separate DNS appliance, identity server, central management server or analytics VM.
Services, health, certificates and identity defined once
You do not recreate the same backend pool, the same health check, the same certificate and the same identity source across three products. Definitions are authored once and shared across the three layers.
On-prem control, no cloud DNS or cloud IdP dependency
DNS answers, health signals, identity decisions and traffic decisions are processed in your own infrastructure. Data sovereignty and regulatory expectations are met without dependence on third-party cloud DNS or cloud identity services.
One session and one audit trail across regions
User session and access events are not scattered across three systems. AAM runs a single session model in every region; access events are consolidated in a single audit view; compliance reporting for multi-region architecture is not fragmented.

DetailsValidated by Teams Running Multi-Region Identity-Aware Access
Verified customer reviews on G2 — infrastructure architects, network teams, identity managers and disaster recovery owners.
"User sessions do not break during the cross-region transition from our primary to secondary data center. We no longer need the synchronization scripts we used to write between the DNS provider, ADC and identity server; in TR7 these three layers share the same health and session signal."
"We manage three-region active-active delivery from a single operator surface. Per-application identity policy may differ in each region; we manage all region policies from one console without provisioning a separate DNS license or a separate identity server."
"We run our data residency and geography-aware access policies in the DNS and identity layers together. Certain users can only reach applications defined in the EU region; GTM routes, AAM enforces the identity boundary, ADC handles delivery."
