Application delivery and traffic management solutions

Simplify hybrid multicloud application delivery with modern ADC capabilities that keep applications fast, resilient, and scalable anywhere.

Unify application delivery across hybrid multicloud deployments

F5’s application delivery and traffic management solutions delivers fast, secure digital experiences across hybrid and multicloud environments—without rearchitecting or stitching point tools together. The F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) unifies high-performance traffic management, consistent policy enforcement, and deep visibility across hardware, software, SaaS, and cloud-native environments, enabling NetOps and Platform teams to scale apps and APIs while reducing risk and complexity.

Unify app delivery across environments

Eliminate tool sprawl and policy gaps with unified app delivery and observability across cloud, data center, and edge.

Intelligent traffic management at scale

Maximize app performance with intelligent traffic steering, local and global load balancing, and monitoring at scale.

Consistent app delivery anywhere

Deploy app services anywhere—on premises, across multicoud, or at the edge—with consistent app delivery.

Always-on application availability

Maintain continuous availability with real-time insights and resilient architectures built for spikes and disruptions.

App performance & scalability

Application performance & scalability

Hybrid and multicloud architectures drive scale—but fragmented tools and inconsistent policies slow teams down. Operational complexity limits visibility, performance, and business agility.

F5 simplifies distributed environments with hardware and software load balancing plus SaaS deployment flexibility delivering unified traffic management, consistent policy enforcement, and end-to-end visibility across on-premises, cloud, and edge.

Reduce complexity, improve performance, and scale apps with confidence.

App & infrastructure resilience

Application and infrastructure resilience

Hybrid and multicloud offer scale—however, hyperscaler concentration increases systemic risk. Outages are inevitable, and recovery-first strategies aren’t enough.

Organizations need architectures built to absorb failure, limit blast radius, and adapt in real time. F5’s Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP), powered by F5 Distributed Cloud Services, provides a neutral, provider-agnostic control layer for resilient traffic management.

Strengthen uptime, meet regulatory demands, and maintain strategic flexibility across any environment

App observability

Application observability

Traffic bottlenecks and blocking issues often go unseen in distributed environments—until performance and availability suffer. Limited observability leads to hotspots, hairpinning, and poor user experience.

The F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) delivers real-time traffic visibility, advanced telemetry, and actionable flow insights.

Detect issues faster, optimize traffic management, eliminate performance gaps, and ensure resilient, high-performing digital experiences while reducing operational costs.

Hybrid multicloud app migration

Hybrid multicloud application migration

App migrations—cloud to cloud, on-prem to cloud, or back—are complex, high-risk, and time-sensitive.

Teams must maintain performance, security, and uptime while managing cost and operational constraints.

F5 Distributed Cloud App Connect accelerates migration with seamless load balancing between environments, real-time observability, and centralized policy enforcement.

Redirect traffic without IP conflicts, maintain availability, and simplify security to achieve faster time-to-value with less risk.

Digital sovereignty

Digital sovereignty

As organizations expand across hybrid and multicloud, digital sovereignty shapes where apps run, data resides, and control is enforced. Regulations vary by region and workload, requiring flexible deployment models.

F5’s Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) unifies sovereignty-aware SaaS services with locally managed BIG-IP and NGINX deployments for sensitive workloads.

Control traffic processing, data residency, and operations while maintaining consistent security, performance, and visibility across cloud, data center, and edge.
