Next-Gen F5 Platform for Application Security and Delivery

F5 rSeries delivers the unprecedented level of performance and protection your critical applications and network deployments require. Designed on a new microservices-based platform layer and an API-first architecture, rSeries enables consolidation for lower costs and reduced TCO across your infrastructure..

Lower costs with a modern ADC design

F5 rSeries delivers the unprecedented level of performance and protection your critical applications and network deployments require. Designed on a new microservices-based platform layer and an API-first architecture, rSeries enables consolidation for lower costs and reduced TCO across your infrastructure.

  • Next-Gen Platform Architecture and Acceleration - Rearchitected from ground up to deliver 2x scale and performance over previous generation platforms by using modern hardware FPGAs for acceleration.

  • Consolidate Multi-Services on One Platform - From DNS services to local and global load balancing plus attack mitigation and access control, F5 rSeries supports BIG-IP app delivery and security services.

  • Offload Compute Resources and Lower - TCO Consolidate platforms with fewer appliances and compute resources required allows for more focus on higher value items and lowers your overall TCO

Automation Leads to Rapid Deployment

The F5 Automation Toolchain for the rSeries platform makes it easy to onboard and configure F5 application services via simple, yet powerful declarative interfaces. With a fully automatable architecture, you’ll see lower staffing costs by increasing process efficiency and reducing time spent on manual tasks.

  • Automated Onboarding and Configurations - F5 Declarative Onboarding for rSeries platform provisioning and F5 Application Services 3 Extension for BIG-IP software configurations together enables automated services for rapid deployments.

  • Deploy App Services Automatically - F5 Application Services Templates (FAST) are an easy and effective way to deploy applications on BIG-IP software using AS3 . The FAST Extension provides a toolset for templating and managing AS3 application services.

  • Stream Telemetry Data to Third-Party Analytics - Telemetry Streaming (TS) enables you to declaratively aggregate, normalize, and forward telemetry data, statistics, and events from the BIG-IP software to a third-party analytics and consumer application.

Protect critical data with industry leading SSL performance and security

A new revolution in the rSeries platform design balances performance, scalability, and security, enabling IT to offload SSL processing up to 3x overall and deploy comprehensive application delivery and security services anywhere.

  • Secure Apps with Encryption - Industry leading encryption up to 200K TPS SSL offload and up to 140K TPS P-256 from increase in SSL FPGAs and from hardware acceleration of ECC ciphers.

  • Scale SSL Offload Processing - Best-in-market SSL performance accelerates SSL/TLS adoption by offloading costly SSL processing and speeds key exchange and bulk encryption.

  • Mitigate Threat Vectors - Reduce risks with protection from more than 100 attack vectors, such as denial-of-service (DoS) and DDoS attacks, with detection and mitigation.

Increase modernization and digital transformation

The growth and complexity of app services and application attacks are challenging IT’s ability to manage application traffic, secure infrastructure, and meet the needs of customers. With F5 rSeries, a next-gen platform architecture with up to 100% performance growth, you can future-proof your application delivery infrastructure and increase service velocity to meet modernization requirements.

  • Modernization Your ADC Infrastructure - Modernize your application security and delivery platforms by migrating automatically with Journeys to the next-gen, API-first rSeries platform.

  • Future Proof Investment with Side-By-Side Migration - Flexibly deploy both current and future versions of BIG‑IP for side-by-side migration. rSeries is more aligned to modern architectures to future-proof your investments.

  • Enable Service Customization with Programmability - Transform your app services with iRules and iRulesLX by providing granular traffic control and visibility for rapid response to your network requirements.

Product Overview

How rSeries works

F5 rSeries is a next-generation hardware platform that delivers a highly scalable, microservices-based architecture to power your mission-critical applications and network deployments. These high-performance appliances include modern FPGAs to enable industry-leading SSL offloading and hardware-based support for elliptical curve cryptography (ECC) ciphers in a 1 RU form factor. With powerful L7 request-per-second (RPS) performance, rSeries enables consolidating multiple services on a single device and increases the density of high-speed ports per rack unit.

Whether you’re a large enterprise or small to medium-sized business, rSeries allows you to scale up or scale down CPU usage depending on your performance requirements.
