Microsoft Virtualization

Unlocking the Power of Virtualization with F5 and Microsoft Solutions

• Improve IT Agility
  F5 PRO-enabled Management Pack seamlessly integrates with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 to respond to user demands in real time. The health of your virtualized environment is ensured through button click or IT policy implementation, allowing IT to efficiently utilize the best resources at any given time.
• Increase user satisfaction
  All the benefits of Application Delivery Controller apply to applications whether they are deployed physically or virtually so you can add users, or improve the experience of existing users, by optimizing all the resources available on the network. Bottlenecks are eliminated before they happen, and business workflow is improved—all without user awareness of the back-end process.
• Simplify disaster recovery
  F5 devices take the guesswork out of multi-data center deployments of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V, routing network traffic as needed to manage changes in virtual machine activity for disaster recovery and datacenter failover scenarios.

F5 Networks has taken the trial and error out of deploying our devices with Microsoft Virtualization solutions, such as Hyper-V and System Center Virtual Machine Manager, with a comprehensive guide providing step by step instructions how to deploy F5 solutions with Hyper-V and SCVMM. F5 engineers have also created deployment guides for leading applications that might be hosted on Microsoft Hyper-V servers. Already up and running?
