Manage and Scale the Edge Faster and Safer
No servers, no complex management, just cloud-native services that redefine edge networking.
Why Scaling Apps at the Customer Edge Matters
Delivering fast and available modern applications across multiple cloud environments today is table stakes for success. With the emergence of new multi-cloud and edge-based architectures, over 50% of enterprise-generated data will be produced and processed outside of traditional data centers or a single centralized cloud by 2022.1 Distributed cloud services are the new reality for organizations that want to succeed.
How F5 Can Help
F5 Distributed Cloud Services offer a better way to deliver cloud-native modern app services with unparalleled performance and availability at scale. Organizations can deploy and run containers and microservices applications anywhere customers demand service—from colocation providers and cloud partners out to the customer edge—offering cloud-native operations, consistent security, and end-to-end observability anywhere your applications need to run.
F5 enables DevOps to deploy on a modern platform that secures and automates app delivery capabilities to any cloud or edge site.
