Web Acceleration Solutions

Improve web application performance, increase revenue, and reduce costs

Slow and unresponsive web applications have a negative impact on worker productivity and e-commerce revenue. Web acceleration can help you dramatically improve web page response times by compressing traffic and reducing server loads. This type of acceleration also lowers costs in the data center and provides a better user experience.

F5 web acceleration solutions overcome WAN latency and performance issues with browsers and web application platforms—on any network or device, including remote access from laptops and mobile devices. F5 can help you decrease download times, offload servers, reduce bandwidth usage, increase revenue, and improve user productivity and satisfaction.

Why do I need web acceleration?

Business benefits of using F5 for web acceleration include:

  • Improved user experience and increased revenue
    F5 can accelerate web applications for remote and mobile users by up to 5x (up to 10x in a symmetric deployment) to help you increase employee productivity and e-commerce revenue
  • Reduced infrastructure costs
    Web acceleration decreases infrastructure costs by extending server capacity and reducing bandwidth usage
  • Optimized server utilization
    SSL offload, compression offload, and caching can reduce the number of application servers required—saving both CapEx and OpEx
  • Simplified deployment and management
    Pre-defined policies for many common applications simplify configuration and reduce deployment time and errors

How do I implement web acceleration?

F5 solution engineers have tested and tuned F5 devices for a wide variety of applications and technologies, and used the results to create custom acceleration profiles. For out-of-the-box acceleration, simply select the appropriate acceleration policy from a list. Comprehensive deployment guides show you exactly what to do every step of the configuration process.
