Control F5 Application Delivery And Optimize Processes iApps

Control the evolution of the performance of the application deployment load balancer and application of improved security features and capabilities, the company provided a series. However, the implementation of birth control is complicated features.

Just get a new service and application delivery controller (ADC) employees may take weeks to configure the settings and the settings and features. Its flagship product, the latest version of BIG-IP, F5 Networks iApps introduced a new framework for the elimination of some of this complexity.

When setting up a distribution control applications, an administrator can choose up to 1200 individual configurations, Andrea Bond, senior analyst at Forrester Research.

In general, such as ADC, even creating a Microsoft Exchange means that it is insignificant.

I am about to start on an Exchange server, "If I am the [apply] to him the need of all these options. Some managers [to] a checklist and an Excel spreadsheet to create a configuration template for something like a resort, all this can be done manually, "Eric Hanselman, 451 Group research director said.

Change-making and implementation of birth control work check your e-mail administrator’s block spam, and motor control to configure your POP email. Outlook Web Access, you may need to configure the ports, and the company wants to ActiveSync with mobile devices, mobile devices with public key certificates to identify the administrator may have to configure the ADC.

The complex with each passing day more and more IT organizations are under pressure to deliver the application in the current economic environment is not very pleasant, well-being, he said.

Forrester clients, a manufacturer of trucks in the European trucking companies, construction, maintenance trucks, a service that uses sensor technology to manage and store the consumption of a food manufacturer is to create a Service Description for the good shopping guide to local markets, extracts the data creates a shopping list.

"[Service] requires more than one application. This should free up more resources to keep costs the same. Each to display the [more practice] to be buried, because they are capable of "Goodness said.

IApps: Application Delivery Controllers intelligent application of the model

BIG-IP version 11, F5, F5 can be customized to deploy applications on devices introduced iApps square. Each of the models at the same time easy to implement and to set an application template contains a combination of services and methods of analysis. This is not a physical box iApps more, depends on the individual applications. This means that if you get it all in the same time the application migration within or between data centers. F5, the provision of services such as application of the monitoring plan described this approach in practice.

"Models IAPP to optimize the delivery of this application only allows you to define the required components," Jason Needham, F5, director of product management, he said. "In this application, and network equipment in a distribution system that provides team collaboration policy. Our interface with devices such as, no longer a collection of objects, and toilets. An administrator will be based on a vision, first of all the components of the application of birth control that is necessary for the implementation of an application. "

F5, large commercial applications and services such as Exchange, SharePoint, and more than a dozen other iApps will launch the iApps and the first distribution continuously. Customers and partners and to create and customize these iApps DevCentral, F5, an online community can share their own.

Pilot-scale application delivery infrastructure of N-scale boxes

F5 and medium enterprises in the new N-function, dynamic controllers broadcast multi-application in the data centers of one or more of an application or service has introduced a technology that allows you to distribute the workload.

"This will give us instead of any set of features ensures that the active-active," said Needham. "When you put these devices in a cluster, only to lose a customer instead of a specific service or want to see a situation. Now you can box without affecting other services."

For example, a large influx of mail entering the system and overwhelm a chassis if you can react to an administrator.

"You switch to another task management system such as moving POP inspection or simply to spread the load," said Needham. "Version 11 of what was a manual function. In each square and take a look at loads of different cars that you can change around. It automatically point you will receive in the long term. "

Many other application delivery controllers are configured as a rather static and dynamic distribution of these boxes and do not let service, Hanselman said. However, quality production virtual servers ensure that the ADC provides flexibility.

"He [ADC] is an example of a virtualized infrastructure can move in the same way, but the service can not be corrupted in the same way as you can with an F5 box," he said.
