The F5 Application Ready Solution for Maximo, a Ready for Tivoli certified architecture for accelerating Maximo installations, turns your network into an agile infrastructure for application delivery.

F5 has developed a flexible and forward-looking application delivery network for SharePoint 2010 that drives your business ahead. F5 tackles application delivery challenges at the core - right where your network, storage, servers, and security come together.

F5 BIG-IP Application Acceleration Manager (AAM) combines the application delivery features previously available in BIG-IP WAN Optimization Manager (WOM) and BIG-IP WebAccelerator. BIG-IP AAM overcomes network, protocol, and application issues to help you meet application performance, data replication, and disaster recovery requirements made challenging by the cloud, mobile apps, and video distribution. By offloading your network and servers, BIG-IP AAM decreases the need for additional bandwidth and hardware. Users get fast access to applications, and you gain greater revenue and free up IT resources for other strategic projects.

Your organization’s growing infrastructure puts more pressure on the network—from rising numbers of users to data center consolidation to the deployment of more feature-rich applications. Scaling the Application Delivery Network (ADN) to meet these evolving needs means increased operational cost and complexity. The resulting strain on resources can limit your organization’s ability to react quickly to developing needs. Each VIPRION platform is a single, powerful Application Delivery Controller (ADC) with modular performance blades you can add or remove with no disruption to your applications. Instead of adding more devices in the network and segmenting applications, you can simply add more power to your existing infrastructure as needs arise. VIPRION gives you the scalability you need to establish a solid and sustainable ADN growth strategy.

This document provides guidance on how to deploy the BIG-IP ASM with IBM InfoSphere Guardium. By combining the powerful security and reporting features in BIG-IP ASM with the advanced database inspection functionality and reporting of Guardium, organizations can now gain an unparalleled real-time view into the operation of their websites.

This guide shows how to configure the BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) running the WAN Optimization Manager (WOM) in a cloud connector deployment.

Cloud computing can help organizations provide better services while reducing costs and streamlining IT. But the provisioning, managing, and monitoring of applications and services requires cooperation among many areas of IT to configure services, and this heightened coordination and manual provisioning can lead to deployment delays and errors. F5 BIG-IQ Cloud, a comprehensive application networking services management solution for private, public, and hybrid clouds, addresses orchestration problems and automates application networking services in cloud deployments.

As communications service providers (CSPs) build next-generation 4G LTE networks, they’re challenged with managing many architectural design changes in the new network core as they must integrate old and new elements seamlessly. The F5 Traffix Signaling Delivery Controller (SDC) provides an SS7 interworking function (IWF) that allows you to create interoperability between legacy and Diameter signaling elements. This is essential to making a smooth transition to 4G LTE, for roaming, and to preserving your existing investments.

As applications and storage move out to the cloud, performance of the corporate communications link between the data center and the cloud will become more important. Optimizing transfers to the cloud with symmetric WAN optimization technology improves WAN communications performance and contains costly bandwidth upgrades.

Content delivery networks are useful services for transferring data over long distances, delivering an optimized user experience, and securing data in an otherwise public environment. However, concerns about cost and control of critical data drive many organizations to seek an alternative delivery mechanism, one that can be achieved with F5 products. The F5® BIG-IP® platform can deliver an internal CDN managed by the IT department with no monthly fees and with bandwidth limited only by connection, not cost per megabyte.
