BIG-IP Hardware: Application Switches

Make Your Network an Agile Infrastructure for Application Delivery.

Applications running across networks encounter a wide range of performance, security, and availability challenges. These problems cost organizations an enormous amount in lost productivity, missed opportunities, and damage to reputation.

The BIG-IP product family is a system of integrated application delivery services that work together on the same best-in-class hardware. From load balancing, SSL offload, and web acceleration to application security, access control, and much more, a single BIG-IP device can do the work of a dozen single-purpose appliances.

The modular BIG-IP platform is built on TMOS architecture, which offers tremendous scalability and customization. You can start with one specific function to meet your current business needs and budget, and add more capacity and functionality as your application and business demands change. With TMOS, you gain the adaptability to adjust to network conditions and business policies using iControl, F5’s highly versatile open API, and iRules, the F5 custom, event-driven scripting language. These technologies give you granular control and flexibility that are not available with other traffic management technologies.

introducing bottlenecks. With the high performance you get from BIG-IP platforms, you can consolidate devices—saving management costs, electricity, space, and cooling—while still having room to grow.
