F5 is the only vendor that offers a unified architecture that resolves the multiple issues involved in application delivery.

The F5 approach makes the entire network application aware. This lowers costs by streamlining and centralizing management, and by eliminating the need for multiple point products. The flexible control structure, based on the iControl interface and iRules scripting language, can fix an effectively infinite number of individual application problems.

If you're about to deploy a new application, then planning for successful delivery over the network is as important as choosing and configuring the application itself. If you have already deployed an application and are experiencing availability problems, sluggish performance, or exposure to security breaches, your need for a network-level solution is even more critical.

BIG-IP™ Product Family
A single BIG-IP device can do the work of a dozen single-purpose products. More importantly, it can do that work in an efficient, cohesive manner that is easier to manage and adapt as business and technology needs change.

F5 application delivery products are modular, designed with expansion and customization in mind. BIG-IP product modules let you easily incorporate new functions, so you can quickly adapt to changing application and business challenges. These modules are software versions of our appliance products designed to run on an existing BIG-IP device.

WANJet™

Most file-sharing technologies were designed for use in a single location, over a wired local area network (LAN). They run much slower over wide area networks (WANs), such as the Internet.

WANJet is a powerful, appliance-based solution that delivers fast, steady, predictable performance for all users on a WAN. WANJet overcomes the limitations of wide area networks, helping with file transfers and data replication between data centers and branch offices. By installing a WANJet at each end of a connection, file transfers take place at nearly the speed of a wired local area network. Application performance is also comparable to what users would experience on a hard-wired LAN.

Providing application access to mobile workers can be challenging. Remote workers want to connect from everywhere: homes, airports, hotel rooms, coffee shops. They don't want to go through a difficult process to connect -- but their IT departments don't want infected laptops logged directly into the corporate network.

The FirePass SSL VPN provides both security and ease of use. It grants access to corporate applications using a technology that everyone understands: a Web browser. Users can have secure access from anywhere they have an Internet connection, while FirePass ensures that connected computers are fully patched and protected.
