F5 rSeries Appliance
F5 rSeries is a rearchitected, next-generation hardware platform that scales application delivery performance and automates application services to address many of today’s most critical business challenges.
Next-Gen F5 Platform for Application Security and Delivery
F5 rSeries delivers the unprecedented level of performance and protection your critical applications and network deployments require. Designed on a new microservices-based platform layer and an API-first architecture, rSeries enables consolidation for lower costs and reduced TCO across your infrastructure..
The F5 Automation Toolchain for the rSeries platform makes it easy to onboard and configure F5 application services via simple, yet powerful declarative interfaces. With a fully automatable architecture, you’ll see lower staffing costs by increasing process efficiency and reducing time spent on manual tasks.
- Automated Onboarding and Configurations - F5 Declarative Onboarding for rSeries platform provisioning and F5 Application Services 3 Extension for BIG-IP software configurations together enables automated services for rapid deployments.
- Deploy App Services Automatically - F5 Application Services Templates (FAST) are an easy and effective way to deploy applications on BIG-IP software using AS3. The FAST Extension provides a toolset for templating and managing AS3 application services.
- Stream Telemetry Data to Third-Party Analytics - Telemetry Streaming (TS) enables you to declaratively aggregate, normalize, and forward telemetry data, statistics, and events from the BIG-IP software to a third-party analytics and consumer application.
The growth and complexity of app services and application attacks are challenging IT’s ability to manage application traffic, secure infrastructure, and meet the needs of customers. With F5 rSeries, a next-gen platform architecture with up to 100% performance growth, you can future-proof your application delivery infrastructure and increase service velocity to meet modernization requirements.
- Modernization Your ADC Infrastructure - Modernize your application security and delivery platforms by migrating automatically with Journeys to the next-gen, API-first rSeries platform.
- Future Proof Investment with Side-By-Side Migration - Flexibly deploy both current and future versions of BIG‑IP for side-by-side migration. rSeries is more aligned to modern architectures to future-proof your investments.
- Enable Service Customization with Programmability - Transform your app services with iRules and iRulesLX by providing granular traffic control and visibility for rapid response to your network requirements.
Product Overview
How rSeries works
F5 rSeries is a next-generation hardware platform that delivers a highly scalable, microservices-based architecture to power your mission-critical applications and network deployments. These high-performance appliances include modern FPGAs to enable industry-leading SSL offloading and hardware-based support for elliptical curve cryptography (ECC) ciphers in a 1 RU form factor. With powerful L7 request-per-second (RPS) performance, rSeries enables consolidating multiple services on a single device and increases the density of high-speed ports per rack unit.
Whether you’re a large enterprise or small to medium-sized business, rSeries allows you to scale up or scale down CPU usage depending on your performance requirements.
