The BIG-IP appliances deliver quick and easy programmability, multi-vendor service orchestration, software-defined hardware, and line-rate performance. Accelerate private clouds and secure critical data at scale, while lowering costs and future-proofing your infrastructure.
Automate cloud integration
Reduce deployment time with support for major private cloud stacks, including OpenStack, VMware, and Cisco. Improve development time with programmatic toolkits, leveraging customizable app templates, a JavaScript community, and over 250K+ node.js libraries.
Consolidate application services
Consolidate more application services and security point products with F5 than with any other ADC vendor, reducing your the cost of ownership by up to 53%.
Simplify and scale SSL
Improve end customer confidence with the fastest way to achieve A+ Grade SSL rating. F5 platforms protect your critical data by supporting all major encryption methods, including emerging Forward Secrecy.
BIG-IP iSeries Platform
F5’s new BIG-IP iSeries platform features TurboFlex optimization technology that offloads specialized functions from the general CPU, resulting in up to twice the price/performance over our leading competitors. TurboFlex allows you to choose from different performance profiles, and switch to new ones as your business needs change. Best of all, software updates enable additional optimizations and profiles in the future.
Our newest platforms feature unrivaled throughput and connection rates at both Layer 4 and Layer 7, and unparalleled SSL ECC price/performance. The hardware-accelerated support for ECC ciphers across the iSeries lineup provides a cost-effective way to ensure privacy. In addition, BIG-IP platforms have earned NIST FIPS 140-2 Level 2 and Common Criteria Evaluation Assurance Level (EAL 4+) certification, so enterprises can comply with regulatory requirements and protect sensitive data.
