••••••

F5 is not in the business of selling boxes, but in reducing complexity for our customers.

Cloud Challenges

On Demand Scalability• Flexibility with ScaleN• Linear scaling • High performance interconnect

between Ethernet ports and CPUs

Native Support for Advanced Protocols

• Network virtualization protocols (VXLAN/NVGRE)

Maximum Performance• High L4 throughput and reduced CPU load• More than 100 types of DoS attacks detected

and mitigated in hardware

Optimized hardware utilizing Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology tightly integrated with TMOS and software

DevOps-like agility with the scale, security, and investment protection needed for both established and emerging apps in private and hybrid clouds

Accelerate private cloud deployment and improve your time-to-market

Simplify and scale your SSL traffic with ECC hardware offload

TurboFlex—flexible hardware offload to maximize investment protection

VIPRION’s architecture provides unique benefits relative to appliances

Highest Performance Scale On-Demand Lowers Operating Costs• Maximize consolidation of

services on one device• High multi-tenant vADC guest

density • Dynamic resource allocation

• Linearly scale performance and capacity across one service with each additional blade

• Add a blade and start processing traffic automatically without forklift upgrade

• Simplify design, implementation, and management

• Fewer devices to manage• No need to overprovision• Fixed and predictable OpEx• Adding, removing a blade or

blade failure will not cause disruption

Lowest TCO

• Shorter time-to-market for new capabilities

• Upgrade via software to new capabilities

• First platform with FPGAs: VIPRION blade—9 years ago

• More than 100K FPGAs shipped in F5 platforms to date

• iSeries provides 2x increase in custom logic capacity

Without TurboFlex FPGA OffloadNo TurboFlex• Cannot change profiles

Higher CPU utilization• No HW offload • Increased demand for precious

CPU resources

Fewer resources for iRules, L7 processing

Lowest TCO

• Much better consolidation with vCMP, increased multi-module support

• Multi-module (GBB) support with higher memory and CPU horsepower

• Flexibility and future-proofing with TurboFlex profiles

• Long-term support for new releases (BIG-IP v12.x and higher)

• 40G ports on mid- and high-end iSeries and 100G support on i15K series.

Provides the agility of virtualization and multi-tenancy on F5 hardwareSpin up independent, virtual ADCs on-demand with complete control over resource allocation

IsolateSecure the traffic and administration of each virtual application service instance with network and resource isolation

ConsolidateConsolidate simple and complex application services onto one shared device while serving different customers
