One Platform. Complete Control.  
 
 
 

F5 tackles Application and Data Delivery at its core, right where your network, storage, servers, and security come together, giving you strategic points of control throughout your IT infrastructure.

F5 BIG-IP deployments: This is the only device in the industry that can address all your application delivery needs – high availability, improved performance, application security, and access control. A single BIG-IP device does the work of a dozen single-purpose products in an efficient manner that reduces network complexity, is easier to manage, adapt and scale. Designed with expansion and customization in mind, the BIG-IP uses a modular architecture built on a common platform, allowing you to simply add new functionality -- everything from Web acceleration to topology-based load balancing -- so you can quickly adapt to changing application and business challenges.

F5 Data Solutions: With F5 ARX intelligent file virtualization, you can automate data migration between heterogeneous devices, dynamically distribute application workload across multiple storage devices and automate data movement and placement between storage tiers – effectively lowering storage costs, shrinking backup and recovery windows, and simplifying data management.

This is because F5 works with these application vendors on integration and interoperability to optimize BIG IP deployments for their specific applications, as well as generic applications delivered via HTTP.

F5 also builds technology alliances with many leading virtualization, infrastructure, security and telecommunications technology vendors to create joint solutions that enable highly capable and easy-to-manage networks for our customers--networks that are far more than the sum of their parts.
