Your servers won’t reboot after an update. Your cloud provider has an outage. A Kubernetes pod just went down. Any of these can shut down your business, day or night. The question isn’t when you’ll get back online again. It’s how many customers you’ll have lost in the process. For more than 20 years, companies have trusted F5 to deliver on their availability needs. On-premises, hybrid, or public cloud, F5 provides solutions that meet the demanding availability needs of any customer. It’s the reason why 48 of the Fortune 50 choose F5.
As your business grows, so do your customers’ expectations for 24/7 availability. Applications are getting more complex, with capabilities and services delivered from multiple cloud providers—private and public. F5 offers the broadest range of hardware and software solutions for any kind of deployment, meeting the most rigorous and extreme business needs.
With microservices-based apps, you need solutions that are aligned with a highly dynamic and transient architecture. F5 makes it easy to integrate directly into the cluster management system regardless of where the app is hosted, allowing security and network teams to keep services running without slowing down development.
When the unexpected occurs, your applications need to remain fast and available. Get the tools you need to deploy and maintain resilient application security and infrastructure solutions—in the multi-cloud, hybrid cloud, and on-premises.
Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) can lead to downtime that can damage your brand and create financial losses. Whether volumetric, computational, or application oriented, F5 provides DDoS protection deployed as a managed service through software as a service (SaaS) based services, or hardware and software appliances.
