Cloud computing is essentially an exercise in infrastructure integration. When cloud architectures are introduced in a way that requires environment-specific processes and policies, it adds management overhead as well as the greater possibility of human error to derail deployment.
An operationally unified environment eliminates these potential management inefficiencies and risks. Using F5 application and control planes, you can extend existing data center control to cloud architectures and consistently enforce policies that ensure the security, performance, and reliability of applications and systems.
This consistent integration and replication of policies, processes, and data gives you the freedom to provision resources without concerns about adding complexity and risk. A unified architectural framework helps you maintain control, scalability, and security while realizing the management efficiency and cost savings associated with cloud computing.
