AppViewX has worked closely with F5 for over a decade, and we are honored to be among first seven Select partners in the new F5 ADSP Partner Program. This new partner program centers on the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform, a foundation that enables organizations to confidently deploy, secure, and optimize applications and APIs anywhere.
“Working in partnership with F5, AppViewX provides a unified platform to control, manage, secure, and enforce compliance for all F5 BIG-IP and F5 NGINX application platform devices and services.”
As part of this program, AppViewX partners with F5 in two distinct areas. Our AVX ONE ADC solution provides a unified platform to control, manage, secure, and enforce compliance for all F5 BIG-IP and F5 NGINX application platform devices and services. Our application delivery controller (ADC) solution bridges the gap between application owners, network administrators, and security teams by providing an application-centric view and control over the F5 application delivery network.
AppViewX also offers AVX ONE CLM, a certificate lifecycle management (CLM) solution that automates certificate and key discovery, renewal, and revocation on F5 devices and services to eliminate manual errors and reduce outage risk. The CLM solution also offers built-in crypto-agility to support algorithm transitions and help prepare for shorter 47-day TLS requirements and post-quantum cryptography (PQC), in line with emerging guidance.
AppViewX and F5 partner to orchestrate app delivery
From the perspective of our joint F5 and AppViewX enterprise customers, more and more applications come online every day, and these are often complex, multi-vendor solutions deployed on hybrid multi-cloud infrastructures. Our customers generally lack full visibility into the application and security services that are employed in these decentralized environments. Because of this, compromises can occur that trace back to misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, or other compliance issues that have not been adequately addressed—resulting in data breach concerns, application downtime, or outages.
In addition, the shift towards remote workers and increasingly mobile customers means that users can connect from anywhere—home offices, co-working spaces, branch offices—directly to cloud-hosted applications. These connections employ distributed traffic flows across multiple networks and systems but often lack centralized visibility and policy controls across these heterogeneous environments.
To support the speed, agility, and security that is required to deliver and support a new generation of complex, distributed applications, AppViewX and F5 together provide a centralized orchestration solution to manage application services.
AVX ONE ADC offers a comprehensive view of the application topology with app-focused monitoring and visibility into the state, health, security, and performance of application services. The solution delivers a self-service management platform that provides intelligent orchestration and out-of-the-box automation workflows to ensure application access, availability, and protection for F5 app delivery technologies, without manual intervention.
These self-service capabilities offer granular, role-based access controls, allowing administrators to define multiple roles and empower different teams with specific privileges to address configuration change requests and implement changes, and to monitor system health with real-time alerting and reporting. With a single dashboard to manage, secure, and enforce compliance for all BIG-IP and NGINX devices and services, AVX ONE ADC offers NetDevSecOps teams full control and visibility over app delivery across distributed and hybrid infrastructures, with zero-touch provisioning that eliminates human-induced errors and misconfigurations.
Access to a full range of F5 resources
As an F5 ADSP Select partner, AppViewX has access to a full range of specialized F5 resources, including engineering support and shared technology roadmaps. We view our relationship with F5 as an important priority, and our customers also see it this way. Strategic alignment is key for both companies, as proven product integration enhances how our customers utilize the F5 environment. To support this, F5 has provided our dev teams with a test environment, which we use for integration validation. Our ability to link roadmaps and deliver leading-edge product enhancements that sync to F5’s technical evolution is critically important to our joint customers.
Our visibility as an F5 ADSP Select partner is also significant to our customers, who see our partnership, our co-marketing programs, and our roadmap synchronization as a seal of approval.
The F5 ADSP Partner Program underscores the value of outcome-driven collaboration at AppViewX. We’re proud to work with F5 to help enterprises improve orchestration of app delivery and adapt to shorter certificate lifecycles and emerging quantum computing risks. Through integration with the F5 platform, we enable our joint customers to streamline operations, improve their security posture, and maintain compliance while accelerating digital transformation.
