Deliver a versatile DNS solution: streamline traffic, optimize security, reduce response times, & ensure high-performance global delivery.
DNS powers the internet; handling queries that indicate user intent. This makes leveraging a versatile DNS solution crucial for creating efficient, secure user experiences. F5 goes a step further, expressing DNS solutions in four ways: SaaS, software, hardware, and cloud-native tools. At the core of each is the tech that’s made F5 a leader in application delivery for over two decades.
DNS will deploy in several different ways, depending on factors like where applications are deployed, which services are required, management preferences, and how much architectural flexibility and performance your environment needs. Does a cloud-based, on-premises, or virtual appliance model best suit your environment? Are you delivering traditional monolithic apps, containerized apps, or both? Do you have staff to manage and maintain your DNS or not? Answers to these questions will help determine what DNS service and deployment model is the best fit for your application delivery demands.
Address the most demanding on-premises deployments where application delivery is mission critical, on fully automatable architecture.
