New LineRate Point Load Balancer and Volume Licensing Subscription offerings support large-volume deployments with F5’s smallest virtual footprint
F5®
From its lightweight, agile LineRate® solutions up through its advanced BIG-IP® offerings, F5 makes it easy for organizations to deploy versatile and cost-effective application delivery services with both virtual and physical products. Specifically, F5’s LineRate, BIG-IP, and Volume Licensing Subscription options enable customers to transition from simple availability functions to more advanced services as needed to support business priorities.
DETAILS
There is a growing need for software-based services in the application delivery network, due in part to customers’ service virtualization initiatives, as well as hyperscale and microservices-based application deployments. To be effective in these contexts, the application service infrastructure must be able to quickly provision highly scalable services (via APIs), and support a wide range of virtual deployment options.
Today’s announcement extends the capabilities of F5 Synthesis™ software components to better support evolving application service needs—both for basic deployments models and in more advanced configurations. F5’s virtual solutions offer:
LineRate Point Load Balancer’s lightweight architecture dramatically reduces the impact on compute, memory, and storage resources in cloud, hybrid, and enterprise data center environments—making it an ideal solution when basic load balancing, application proxy, high availability, and SSL capabilities are needed. This simple approach to load balancing and related services means that F5 solutions can easily be integrated into DevOps-driven workflows like continuous integration and delivery, while simultaneously keeping resource consumption costs down with a small technology footprint.
Volume Licensing Subscription offerings are designed for customers that require large volumes of virtual application delivery solutions and services. BIG-IP virtual editions and LineRate Point Load Balancer can be deployed in private or public cloud environments for a fraction of the cost of traditional or hardware-only deployments, making them more economical for customers seeking to extend the benefits of virtual load balancers and services to every application.
With Volume Licensing Subscription supported by F5’s BIG-IQ® management solution, organizations can easily orchestrate services across multiple applications or on a per-application basis. The ability to configure and automate how resources and services are provisioned gives application and operations teams the tools they need to maintain a growing portfolio of applications on demand using increasingly popular DevOps-style approaches.
“LineRate Point Load Balancer and Volume Licensing Subscription enable
customers to scale virtualized application services at the correct scope
and pace for their initiatives,” said
