Drive growth with automated NFV solution packages
Increase your business agility
Leveraging network functions virtualization (NFV) helps you lower costs, increase operational efficiency, and monetize new services. F5’s prepackaged, preconfigured NFV solutions simplify the deployment and management of your virtualized network.
Explore NFV solution packages
Gi LAN VNF service
The virtualized Gi LAN solution provides solutions such as virtual policy enforcement, TCP and ABR video optimization, virtual firewall, and virtual CGNAT. Virtual solutions enable you to dynamically chain together services based on real-time subscriber and application awareness. This model means you can deliver services based on current network conditions and use network resources more efficiently, allowing you to innovate, improve subscriber QoE, and lower costs. The package can be purchased in capacity-based throughput options of 5, 10, and 50 Gbps increments, which greatly simplifies network planning, sizing, and purchasing. This solution includes the F5 VNF Manager.
Gi Firewall VNF service
Defend your core network infrastructure and mobile subscribers from attacks with a high-performance, highly scalable ICSA Labs Certified full-proxy firewall. Deploy the Gi Firewall VNF Service with CGNAT to detect and stop large-scale DDoS. The package can be purchased in capacity-based throughput options of 5, 10, and 50 Gbps increments, which greatly simplifies network planning, sizing and purchasing. This solution includes the F5 VNF Manager.
Standalone F5 VNF Manager
Automate the lifecycle of F5 NFV solutions without the need for a third-party vendor. Management functionality allows you to consolidate and manage your virtual services, automatically scale capacity requirements, and implement lifecycle management to support rapid spin-up and spin-down of services. Through REST APIs, the F5 VNF Manager is compatible with third-party orchestrators.
