Building a Smarter IT Infrastructure for State and Local Government
Deliver fast and available online government services with greater efficiency
Beyond powerful load balancing capabilities, F5’s application delivery solution gives your organization exceptional scalability and control in managing application traffic.

Secure applications and ensure compliance
F5 provides application security that recognizes and stops attacks before they can reach your applications. By enforcing a positive security model that allows only “known-good” transactions, F5 safeguards against unauthorized access and malicious traffic. F5 helps your organization comply with government security regulations cost-effectively—without requiring multiple appliances and with no application changes or rewrites.
F5 takes the only approach to DNS security (DNSSEC) that enables organizations to deploy DNSSEC quickly and easily into an existing global server load balancing environment.
Improve productivity and disaster recovery
F5 solutions play a key role in maintaining your organization’s service level agreements and assuring uptime. F5 global traffic management capabilities automate failover to secondary data centers when the primary site becomes overloaded or unavailable, eliminating downtime for users.
Using F5 secure remote access capabilities, users can access applications and data from any device or network. The solution requires only a standard web browser and gives administrators granular policy control, simplifying administration to reduce deployment and management costs. Strong endpoint security ensures the accessing device is fully protected and in compliance with your organization’s security policies before allowing the connection.
