Optimize performance and availability with a server virtualization-ready infrastructure
Implementing server virtualization in your enterprise can consolidate resources, save costs, and improve availability and manageability. But if your infrastructure isn't ready to handle the extra burdens that come with adding many new virtual machines, virtualization can cause more problems than it solves.
In fact, more than 74 percent of IT professionals surveyed by F5 consider network issues and application performance to be potential barriers to deploying server virtualization.
An intelligent, dynamic infrastructure is critical to the success of any server virtualization effort. Businesses that implement server virtualization with F5 devices in their environment find that they have a virtualization-ready infrastructure that "just works."
Why do I need a server virtualization-ready infrastructure?
Business benefits of using F5 with your server virtualization solution include:
- Increased application availability
F5 solutions automatically reroute traffic whenever virtual machines are unavailable, so you can maintain application availability throughout both virtual machine migrations and unplanned failures, even across multiple virtual data centers. - Increased ROI
By offloading functionality from virtual machines, F5 solutions help you free up server resources to achieve maximum utilization and consolidation. - Better user experience
F5 solutions load balance traffic between multiple virtual machines, whether they're on the same or different physical servers, so your users always get the best possible performance regardless of the application, location, or context.

How do I implement F5 solutions with server virtualization?
F5 has taken the trial and error out of deploying F5 devices with leading virtualization technologies from VMware and Microsoft by creating validated, step-by-step deployment guides. F5 engineers have also developed guides for deploying F5 solutions with a wide variety of applications that may be hosted on virtual servers. You can find forums, procedures, tips, and more on DevCentral, F5's online developer community.
