AI multicloud networking
The F5 AI reference architecture showcases strategic traffic management and critical security points across the entire AI pipeline—from the web and API front door to data ingest, cluster ingress, LLMs, model inference, RAG workflows, data storage, and training—ensuring fast, reliable, and secure operations at every stage.
High-performance and secure data ingestion is essential for AI model training, fine-tuning, and RAG workflows. F5 BIG-IP ensures fast, reliable data flows as massive datasets move from endpoints to storage and into training pipelines—delivering both maximum throughput and robust protection.
Ensure every GPU in an AI Factory is utilized to its full potential, with none standing idle. By offloading traffic management and security to DPU hardware, F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes deployed on NVIDIA BlueField -3 DPUs streamlines the delivery of AI workloads going to and from GPU clusters, maximizing the efficiency of your AI infrastructure.
AI-driven applications rely on a robust and secure runtime environment to protect against model abuse, data leakage and traditional attacks. F5 secures AI applications end-to-end with web application and API protection (WAAP) solutions, protecting the APIs that support RAG and agentic workflows from abuse. F5 AI Guardrails and AI Red Team secure and govern AI applications, APIs, models, and data by preventing data leakage and defending against evolving threats, while ensuring full visibility and control over how AI models and applications interact across environments and AI governance controls.
AI multicloud networking lets you simplify AI/ML infrastructure, securely connecting applications and enhancing AI model contextual awareness in hybrid and multicloud environments. Designed to optimize retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and distributed inference workflows, F5 enables enterprises to deploy reliable, secure, and scalable AI solutions with ease.
