When talking about IT performance and rating "must haves", data center reliability is often right near the top of the list, and for good reason. Performance and scalability, features and functionality don't matter much unless the application is up and available. We here at F5 tend to hold availability in pretty high regard, and recent info from Netcraft seems to show that this effort has not gone in vain. Netcraft likes to study and analyze many things, among which is the reliability of different hosting companies. The way they do this is by polling around forty different hosting providers'...
Many people in the networking world are aware of BIG-IP as a powerful load balancing and security device. Those that don’t dig deeper, however, are truly missing out on the incredible features just below the surface. Sure load balancing and security policies are interesting and important, but what truly makes BIG-IP stand out from the crowd, at least in my opinion, is the immense breadth of functionality available via the programmatic interfaces of the system, namely iRules, iControl and now tmsh. To me these are the most exciting, intriguing things happening in the market right now. Network side scripting, full...
As you've no doubt seen by now, BIG-IP v10 has brought with it all kinds of powerful new features. Among those are some very cool changes to iRules. I've already talked about the new class command, the killer new after command and a brand new namespace for you to utilize in your iRuling endeavors. These are far from the only additions to iRules in v10, however. If you're familiar with our iRules Wiki, then you'll likely notice that the new commands are already showing up in the appropriate places. They're both in the main commands page, as well as...

It's day 3 of my week long Tokyo adventure. Day 2 kind of disappeared into the ether with meetings and prep for meetings and forum posts and the like, so no blog post for day 2, even though it was quite a good day. Today though, day 3, has been outstanding so far. I just got back from an awesome customer visit with some really cool engineers. We talked geek, we white-boarded, we wrote some code and pontificated about possible solutions to problems they're having as well as future solutions they want to put in place...it was hawesome.
