BIG-IQ Centralized Management for Complete Visibility and Control
End-to-End Control of BIG-IP Devices and Services
Effective management—orchestration, visibility, and compliance—relies on consistent app services and security policies across on-premises and cloud deployments. Easily control all your BIG-IP devices and services with a single, unified management platform.
CONTENDING WITH COMPLEXITY
With 87 percent of organizations deploying apps in multiple clouds and architectures, effective management of applications—and the services and devices that power them—is no small feat. Moreover, none of the customers surveyed in the 2020 State of Application Services Report could state with confidence the number of applications running in their deployment environments. This management challenge grows with ever-expanding application portfolios and the additional appliances and services needed to support them.
SOLVING THE PROBLEM
Addressing this complexity comes down to driving consistency across environments and ensuring that everyone on the team—from networking professionals to application developers—has access to a unified, easy-to-use set of management, visibility, and orchestration tools. Automation tools will help you ensure the performance, security, and availability of applications, wherever they live.
Management meets automation
Create, customize, and manage templates for Application Services 3 Extension (AS3)—a declarative method of provisioning app services—from an intuitive AS3 GUI with BIG-IQ 7.0.
MODERN APPS NEED A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO MANAGEMENT
Analyze, troubleshoot, auto-scale and control every app, service and F5 device (virtual and physical) in any environment—all from a centralized, role-specific single pane of glass.
SIMPLIFY MANAGEMENT OF YOUR BIG-IP PORTFOLIO
Manage all your BIG-IP physical and virtual devices from a single point of control and drive consistent application delivery and security services across all your data center and cloud environments.
Keep your finger on the pulse of F5 devices, modules, and licenses to deliver optimal application availability, performance, and security.
