SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- F5 Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:FFIV), the global leader in Application Delivery Networking, today introduced Performance Blade 200 (PB200) hardware for the company’s VIPRION® solution. The PB200 is designed to support the growth, availability, and performance requirements of content and service providers, as well as large enterprises.
Details
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.
The new VIPRION system with PB200 hardware enables organizations to:
Support Users with Industry-Leading Performance and Availability
A fully loaded VIPRION chassis with four PB200 units is the highest performance Application Delivery Controller (ADC) on the market, delivering 72 Gbps of L7 throughput and 200,000 SSL transactions per second.
The PB200 has dual quad-core processors that leverage F5’s Clustered Multiprocessing (CMP) technology. With CMP, VIPRION performance blades work together form a virtual processing fabric utilizing all available CPU resources to more efficiently meet users’ application delivery demands.
Achieve Scale and Growth Needs
With VIPRION and the new PB200 hardware, organizations can better manage large volumes of traffic and provide additional capacity when needed. Because additional performance blades can be added on-demand, organizations can augment their infrastructures to deal with seasonal or unexpected traffic spikes with ease—and without downtime.
In addition, F5® solutions enable organizations to customize their application delivery infrastructures to support the unique needs of their business. Flexible technologies, such as iRules™ commands and the iControl® API support and automate true infrastructure agility even as business or user conditions change.
Consolidate Infrastructure to Save on OpEx and CapEx Costs
The VIPRION platform’s ability to combine and customize disparate application services make it an ideal solution for organizations looking to consolidate their application delivery infrastructures to reduce power, space, and cooling costs in the data center.
By offloading servers through its SSL, compression, caching, and TCP Express™ capabilities, VIPRION can help significantly reduce the total number of servers needed to support applications. |
