Multi-cloud Networking and AI is at the fore for F5, as it prepares to showcase its Secure Multi-Cloud Networking Solutions to simplify operations for Distributed Application deployments at the event.
A frequent GITEX participant, F5 is ready to showcase its new multi-cloud networking (MCN) capabilities that extend application and security services across one or more public clouds, hybrid deployments, native Kubernetes environments, and edge sites. The solutions represent the next evolutionary step for the F5 Distributed Cloud Services platform, which enables customers easily integrate network operations, application performance optimization and troubleshooting, and visibility through a single management console.
The new offerings include Distributed Cloud App Connect, which provides an integrated stack approach through a single console to combine comprehensive app networking with full app security, faster provisioning, and ease of use. In addition, Distributed Cloud Network Connect makes it highly secure and simple to deploy connectivity across cloud locations and cloud providers.
“Distributed deployments add operational complexity and cost, obscure visibility, and increase the surface area for potential cyberattacks. F5 can now deliver a platform-based approach that is cloud-agnostic and purpose-built to meet the needs of traditional and modern apps—all without increasing complexity or losing granular control and necessary visibility,” said Mohammed Abukhater, RVP for META, F5.
F5 will also showcase its latest security capabilities, including new machine learning enhancements to provide F5’s cloud security portfolio with advanced API endpoint discovery, anomaly detection, telemetry, and behavioral analysis. The solutions come hot on the heels of F5’s 2023 State of Application Strategy (SOAS) report, which found that 85% of organizations operate distributed application deployments, spanning traditional and modern architectures and multiple hosting environments.
