Integrated demo with new VMware NSX™ network virtualization platform and other conference efforts showcase the customer benefits of F5® technology
F5 and VMware NSX – Combining Application Services and Network Virtualization
Today, VMware announced the launch of VMware NSX, which will virtualize the network and provide a platform to deliver logical network services offered by VMware and partners such as F5. With NSX, data center operators can provision complex, multi-tier virtual networks in seconds, independent of the underlying topology or network components.
To support this launch, F5 is announcing integration between its BIG-IQ™ Cloud offering and VMware NSX. Together, F5 and VMware solutions help mutual customers seamlessly deploy application services—such as security and acceleration—with network virtualization technologies. A joint technology demonstration of BIG-IQ Cloud and VMware NSX is available at the conference in F5’s booth (#1529) as well as VMware’s (#1229).
“F5 provides advanced network-based services that today’s businesses
rely on for smooth operations, IT efficiency, and business
productivity,” said
“F5 supports a broad range of VMware solutions, including network
virtualization technologies such as VMware NSX™ and
SDN-focused technologies such as VXLAN,”
said
