New VIPRION® 2200 and F5’s high performance services fabric support applications with on-demand scaling, consolidation, and resource flexibility without disruption
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
The new offering is ideal for midrange customers looking for the on-demand scalability of VIPRION but have rack space constraints—or related concerns such as power/cooling requirements—that require an appliance footprint. Providing unmatched performance in a 2U form factor, the VIPRION 2200 brings true pay-as-you-grow performance within reach for organizations seeking to bolster their infrastructures without sacrificing future flexibility. With the option of adding an extra blade to increase performance, the device offers easy scalability with no operational disruption. Customers can simply add more capacity as business needs grow.
Adding Device Resources to F5’s Elastic Services Fabric
First introduced in 2011, F5 pioneered ScaleN device service clusters (DSCs) to give customers the ability to align device resources in an all-active configuration, improving resource utilization compared to traditional active/passive high availability (HA) pairs. With F5’s virtual Clustered Multiprocessing (vCMP®) technology, the VIPRION chassis provides the highest density multi-tenant solution in its class to enable efficient consolidation of application services and underutilized ADCs. The new chassis can be deployed to extend a multi-tenant fabric of application resources. In line with this approach, F5’s hardware solutions elegantly integrate with the company’s virtual offerings to promote Software Defined Application Services™ that can be extended from the data center to the cloud.
Integrating with Powerful F5 Technologies for Added Value
The VIPRION 2200 chassis is also designed to take advantage of F5’s unified offerings, including:
