New integrated solution combines lifecycle management with F5’s leading VNFs in a capacity-based consumption model
With F5, organizations can take advantage of the complete lifecycle management of VNF services, unlocking essential scale and automation for newly virtualized networks without burdensome complexity. This approach is an ideal fit for mobile operators and service providers looking to software-based infrastructures as part of their network evolution. F5 also supports customers’ existing orchestration solutions for streamlined integration via open and extensible APIs.
“Service provider organizations have plenty of options when it comes to
virtualizing elements of their network, but what they haven’t had
previously is a package that delivers consumption-based pricing that can
be tied directly to business outcomes,” said
Unlike competitors, F5 offers right-sized solutions that are simple to purchase, deploy, manage, and upgrade in a “pay as you grow” model with subscription and perpetual licensing options. To help maximize utilization, resources can be automated and tailored for current initiatives, empowering customers to create, spin up, spin down, and add capacity to F5 VNF services immediately and automatically—all through the integrated F5 VNF Manager.
Additional key solution benefits include:
