#F5s new hardware platforms include FIPS 140-2 level 2 compliance for HSM through the ADC. If you are in one of the more heavily regulated industries, or work for the federal government, then you know that FIPS is a fact of life, and that both certification and performance are not always available. While there are plenty of devices that are certified, they are often designed for limited uses, or have performance limitations based upon the harsh CPU requirements of encryption. Security always comes at a price, but sometimes the price seems steep in terms of performance. F5 BIG-IP...
The whole goal of any IT organization is to provide value to the business. That value is generally created by connecting users to the applications they need in order to get the job done. So, the goal of IT is really about connecting users to applications. It may involve many components in between and a lot of complexity; certainly this is increasingly true in today's world of mobile users and mobile (virtual) applications. It is all about the user and the application. That’s what IT is measured on. All applications, however, are not the same. Even two...
Overview This week’s coverage highlights focus largely on the Interop announcements. PR worked to secure 13 briefings with the trade press around the the BIG-IP 10.2 announcement, which generated quite a bit of coverage. The ExtraHop and F5 alliance news was also picked up by local press. Notable Quotes By declaring open war on HP, IBM, and Dell, Cisco has made networking relevant again for the major OEMs who need a networking story — and subsequently turned them into potential startup acquirers. The market capitalizations of Juniper, F5 and...
Not long ago F5 argued that in this highly competitive and and dynamic market it is often difficult for customers to make informed product decisions. There are so many quality products in the marketplace with so many complex features, and there is little time and money to do full-blown evaluations of all the possible solutions. However, choosing the wrong product can be disastrous. One solution is to consult industry analysts like Gartner, Forrester, IDC, or ESG who can provide a vast amount of information, experience and knowledge to provide an insight both into the products as...
A complete guide to news and media coverage for F5 Networks for the week of March 8th, 2010. Notable Quotes: Nathan Meyer, product manager at F5, said the benefits in upgrading systems during the deployment will be new systems that provide policy automation and key management. For example, Meyer said F5; a mid-level enterprise has over 100 different zones making the process of managing them a fairly daunting task. "The task of managing each zone individually with individual keys and maintaining all the roll over periods would be...
The challenges associated with cloud computing and remote data center locations are strikingly similar, particularly with regards to performance and transfers of large files across bandwidth constrained, e.g. WAN, links. Congestion, latency, and prioritization of other applications can slow down the transfer of data across data centers, whether traditional or cloud-based. Conversely, the utilization of Internet-connected WAN-speed links to provide both transfer of large data files and application service to myriad remote employees and users via mobile devices, roaming laptops, and dedicated desktops in remote offices, can cause performance challenges.
The challenges are only going to become more complex as...
Many IT departments are struggling with rapid increases in both traffic volumes and users. Simultaneously, organizations continue to leverage social media, mobile devices, and an expanding array of web services to achieve business goals. These demands result in many companies pushing the limits of their current application delivery infrastructures. Even the most capable of chassis based solutions may need a boost in performance and total capacity to support highly trafficked sites that are more on par with the demands placed upon the infrastructure of a service-provider class organization than a traditional enterprise. Service-providers, too, are feeling the pressure as more...
