F5's in-depth knowledge of enterprise applications makes it a great fit when integration with VMware virtualization environments is critical, whether in the data center or the cloud.
Software-Defined Data Center
Existing network and data center architectures can be complex, costly to manage and slow to respond. With shifting traffic patterns and the explosion of users, devices and applications, you need solutions that deliver speed to innovation, reduced time to market and an agile network. Combining the VMware Software-Defined Data Center architectural approach with F5 Software-Defined Application Services gives you increased agility, faster application deployment and better data center economics.

BIG-IP augments vCloud Suite’s ability to automatically adjust applications to changing traffic patterns, network conditions and other factors, by responding automatically to your changing application needs. For example, as vCloud Suite application instances are added or removed for elasticity, BIG-IP can be dynamically and automatically modified in response.
Integrations with VMware vCloud Networking and Security let you seamlessly provision and configure BIG-IP application delivery networking services as part of the natural application provisioning workflow within vCloud Suite. At the same time, BIG-IP Application Security Manager (ASM) provides an application firewall service that secures and protects administrator and user access to the vCloud Suite.
BIG-IP also simplifies configurations with iApps. These pre-configured policy templates encapsulate and abstract an entire application delivery service configuration. iApps facilitate self-service consumption within the vCloud Suite, helping the network provider team control network policies, while giving users immediate access to BIG-IP services.
