Unleash the true potential of virtualization and cloud computing
For organizations looking to get substantial ROI from virtualization and cloud computing initiatives, the true costs of managing an exploding number of applications—spanning multiple sites and sometimes outside of corporate control—can lead to diminished returns. Flexibility comes at a cost of complexity and an inability to maintain control of applications and data.
F5’s suite of Application Delivery Networking products, in conjunction with third-party software, hardware, and service provider solutions, combine to provide you with a new way of understanding how, where, and when your applications are deployed. You maintain corporate control while still gaining the flexibility and simplicity you demand.
Why do I need to control the cloud?
Business benefits of using F5 with your cloud computing solution include:
- Reduce Complexity.
With a reusable framework of services that can be leveraged across static, dedicated servers as well as across multi-site cloud deployments, you immediately gain value that grows as your applications grow. - Increased Control.
By integrating traffic management, dynamic provisioning, access control, and management, you can more readily outsource the processing of applications and data without giving up ownership and control. - Context Awareness.
Having a complete picture of the user, network, application, and services gives you a unique ability to use context to determine how applications and data are delivered. - Reduced Switching Costs.
With a centrally controlled method of delivering applications and data, you can move resources anywhere at a moment’s notice without worrying about the capabilities of host locations.
