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'...
This week brought new meaning to the old, familiar phrase “so overstuffed with goodness it’s unknowable”. Well okay, maybe it’s a silly new phrase I just made up, but that doesn’t change the fact that this was yet another killer week for content on DevCentral. There were forum posts by the hundreds, blog posts by the dozen and tech tips a plenty. There was even some twitter inspired swan diving silliness. Through all of that I’ve picked what I thought were some of the most interesting things out of the bunch to highlight. To be fair, though, I could have...
Happy Friday folks! I’m happy to report in that so far this morning I’ve been reading up on the latest version of LTM (10.2.1) that just got released, while rocking out to some (probably too loud) tunes, of course. The new version is a dot release, so it’s largely improvements and fixes, but there’s some very groovy stuff in there. Here are a couple good ones: Application templates This release includes one new application template and one upgraded application template. An application template corresponds to a particular application, such as email...
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...
I can't believe it's only the second week of this year's Top5 series. There are so many things going on that it feels like it's been weeks since I wrote last. I know the output to the site has only been bumped up marginally but trust me, things behind the scenes are beyond busy trying to get things ramped up, polished and ready to push hard all through the year. This week saw some continued series', a couple of really interesting new blog / docs posts, and plenty of awesome action in the forums / wikis. Here's this week's Top5:

Welcome to the first DCTop5 of 2009! It's a new year and that means you survived the holidays, the in-laws, the traffic jams, the elections, and if you live in Seattle, record breaking snow-storms. Congratulations, it's time to do it all over. There's been so much great stuff going on in DevCentral Land in the past 12 months that it's been hard for even me to keep up at times. So when I tell you that there's even more to come, and that we're turning up the dial further still this year, believe me when I say that it's going...
