A10 Networks released the Harmony design of the Thunder Series ADC in 2015.

Also in 2015, A10 Networks upgraded the Advanced Core Operating System (ACOS). The update allowed 100 percent of software capabilities to be addressed by APIs, whereas the previous ACOS could only address 40 percent through APIs.

In 2016, A10 acquired the cloud-native ADC company Appcito.
