Local Load Balancing Solutions

Business benefits of using F5 for local load balancing include:

• Less risk of security breaches.
  We employ many different security options as a core feature of our platform. Our local load balancing solutions address both network- and application-focused attacks, as well as business-oriented breaches involving information leaks.
• Increased agility.
  We can help your business be more agile by enabling you to address security and application problems dynamically and immediately.
• Transparent scalability.
  The ability of applications to scale transparently makes sure that your service-level agreements and availability goals stay in line with business needs.
• Reduced server and bandwidth cost.
  Our solution triples server capacity through a rich set of infrastructure optimization capabilities, and reduces bandwidth costs by up to 80 percent through intelligent HTTP compression, bandwidth management, and more.

One of the key objectives of F5's Application Ready Network is to remove the pain often associated with implementing a new solution. Our award-winning local load balancing devices include a number of pre-defined policies, profiles, and wizards that result in easy, error-free configuration. And we have rigorously tested and tuned these devices with leading applications, carefully documenting the procedures in our comprehensive deployment guides

F5's BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager removes single points of failure and virtualizes the network and applications by providing industry-leading L7 intelligence. This ensures that all applications are always on and more scalable and easier to manage than ever before.
