BIG-IP Ensures Applications Are...
1. Available
One of BIG-IP core functions is load balancing, which entails managing network traffic such that no one server becomes overwhelmed while others idle. This improves application performance and availability.
2. Fast
BIG IP is able to shift key tasks away from the server to its own processor in order to improve performance. This can reduce the number of servers in a typical datacenter by as much as 60% and speed up the performance of the remaining servers.
3. Secure
BIG-IP identifies and stops most DDoS attacks before they reach the datacenter. With hardware-based DoS protections, BIG-IP detects DDoS attacks and routes the connections away from critical servers, or rejects them outright.
BIG-IP Platforms
1. Hardware
Our BIG-IP hardware is at the heart of great data centers around the world. From large service providers to mid-size enterprise companies. BIG-IP hardware provides the power necessary to handle processor-intensive tasks such as SSL (decrypting and re-encrypting secure traffic) and compression, freeing data-center servers to focus on delivering applications.
2. Virtual Editions
BIG-IP Virtual Editions offer all the functionality of our hardware based solutions. They can run continuously or be spun up and down as needed to handle spikes in demand. With the most flexible deployment options in the industry, Virtual Editions provide an agile and efficient way to deploy F5’s Software-Defined Application Services fabric in hybrid, virtual, and cloud environments.
