Edge distribution solutions

Consolidate CDN, connectivity, and WAAP services under a single control plane across cloud and edge.

Unify edge and multicloud security—deployment flexibility baked in

The F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP) unifies security, networking, and application delivery across any environment. Unlike PoP-centric providers that require customers to architect into a single edge footprint, F5 supports multi-edge deployment flexibility with deployable software, integrated security, and a cloud-agnostic, Kubernetes-based architecture. With a unified control plane, teams can apply consistent policy, visibility, and performance from cloud to edge—built for security-sensitive enterprises deploying edge distribution platforms.

Edge computing

Edge computing

Users expect instant, always-available digital experiences. But as apps and APIs span data centers, clouds, and edge sites, performance varies, security policies drift, and operations become costly and complex. Scaling edge deployments often means stitching together CDN, networking, WAAP, and monitoring—site by site.

F5 unifies application delivery, security, and connectivity across cloud and multi-edge environments with centralized orchestration, consistent policy, and built-in protection—so you can scale securely, reduce complexity, and deliver high-performance experiences everywhere.

Distributed app delivery

Distributed app delivery

Modern application delivery spans multicloud, SaaS, legacy systems, and edge—but users still expect fast, always-on experiences. Most enterprises rely on fragmented CDNs, load balancers, DNS, and security tools that lack shared policy and visibility.

F5 Distributed Cloud Services unifies application delivery, connectivity, and WAAP/API protection in a single platform with centralized policy, automation, and end-to-end observability—so you can scale reliably, reduce complexity, and deliver secure, high-performing digital experiences everywhere.

WAAP at the edge

WAAP at the edge

The edge is now the front door of your business—but every new edge or cloud deployment expands your attack surface. As apps and APIs spread across multicloud and edge environments, security controls fragment: inconsistent WAF and WAAP policies, limited API discovery, and blind spots as attacks move between regions. The result? Bot-driven logins, API abuse, outages, and revenue risk.

Without unified protection and visibility, SecOps and Platform teams can’t scale confidently or enforce consistent security across environments.
