Deliver More Applications for More Users

F5® BIG-IP® Application Delivery Controller (ADC) platforms can manage even the heaviest traffic loads at both layer 4 and layer 7. By merging high-performance switching fabric specialized hardware and advanced software F5 provides the flexibility to make in-depth application decisions without introducing bottlenecks.

With the high performance you get from BIG-IP platforms you can consolidate devices-saving management costs electricity space and cooling-and still have room to grow.

Key benefits

Consolidate your infrastructure with purpose-built hardware

BIG-IP hardware platforms are designed specifically for application delivery performance and scalability. One device can be configured for server load balancing global data center load balancing DNS services web application firewall access management web performance optimization and WAN optimization.

Offload application servers

BIG-IP platforms feature high-performance SSL and compression hardware as well as advanced connection management so that you can remove processing-intensive tasks from application servers consolidate devices and use these resources more efficiently.

Secure your network

Instantly add layer 3-7 protection with ICSA Certified BIG-IP platforms that provide default deny security a full packet filter engine that limits access in a granular way and an industry- leading web application firewall.

Reduce your operating costs

Spend less time on configuration upgrades and maintenance with the simple-to-manage BIG-IP hardware featuring out-of-band management front-panel management warm upgrades remote boot and USB support. Lower power and cooling costs in your data center with 80 Plus Gold and Platinum certified high-efficiency power supplies.

Maximize uptime

Ensure your critical infrastructure is built on reliable hardware with hot-swappable components redundant power supplies redundant fans compact flash multi-boot support and always-on management. Appliances can be deployed in traditional active/standby configuration or horizontal clusters (active/active) to achieve high availability and application-level failover.
