About F5

Corporate Information

Aligning business strategy and the IT infrastructure

The IT infrastructure is key to the success of virtually any major business initiative, from quickly integrating a strategic acquisition to bringing products to market cost-effectively.

Yet traditional IT architectures are static and inflexible. Any sudden change in business requirements forces IT staff to respond with manual, one-off technology fixes that consume time and resources.

F5 provides strategic points of control throughout the IT infrastructure, enabling organizations to scale, adapt, and align with changing business demands and drive business forward on a solid foundation of IT agility.

Why is F5 different?

F5 is the only vendor that provides an open architectural framework, offering IT organizations new ways to deliver services that generate true business value. This unique framework includes:

  • F5 TMOS ®

  • F5 iRules™
    The event-driving scripting language that customizes how application traffic is intercepted, inspected, transformed, and directed.
  • F5 iControl®

  • F5 Data Management Operating System
