The F5 and Layer 7 Partnership
F5 Networks® and Layer 7 have partnered to help companies cost-effectively
deploy highly secure, high-performance service-oriented architectures (SOAs),
mobile, and cloud services. The joint solution provides a robust data center
model for scaling application programming interface (API)-specific traffic across
SOAP, REST, and JSON, while maintaining full application and session-awareness.
Highly Secure, High Performance, Cost-Effective Web Service and API Integrations
Using F5 BIG-IP® Local Traffic Manager™ and BIG-IP® Application Security
Manager™ alongside the Layer 7 SecureSpan SOA, API, and Cloud Gateways,
organizations can deliver optimum uptime for their globally distributed API-based
web services. As a result, SOA, mobile, and cloud services providers are able to
deliver value-added applications with solid, enforceable service level agreements
at the network, transport, and application layers.
“ Working with F5, we can help our
customers’ IT departments deliver
highly secure, optimized web,
mobile, and cloud services to their
business users.”

Higher availability
Distribute load intelligently across applications. Ensure availability of application APIs across Layer 7 Gateway clusters.
Enhanced security
Guard against infrastructure attacks at both a web and API level. Inspect secure sockets layer (SSL) content to make per-service trust decisions.
Improved performance
Accelerate SSL performance, optimize compression, and ensure peak load operation.
BIG-IP devices handle load balancing, SSL offload, session persistence, XML firewall, and DOS prevention, while the Layer 7 SecureSpan Gateways provide more granular acceleration of XML services.
