Audio White Paper - Security and Acceleration - The Sweet Spot of Application Delivery

joe@f5.com (F5 DevCentral Team) — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:19:56 GMT

Few vendors want to admit that adding a web application security solution can also add latency, which can be kryptonite for websites. No website, especially an e-commerce site, wants to add any delay to users’ interaction. Web application security that also delivers blazing fast websites might sound like an oxymoron, but it is not with F5.

Audio White Paper - Acceleration 101

joe@f5.com (F5 DevCentral Team) — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 20:04:29 GMT

Getting your applications to work properly over a Wide Area Network (WAN) is a complex task, and it is not likely to get easier any time soon. Trends such as data center consolidation, the advent of Web 2.0 applications, and the move to web-based application delivery have only served to increase complexity and slow user response times. Often, the result is sluggish application response and at worst, abandoned applications and shopping carts due to slow or failed web page loads.

This White Paper discusses how an Application Delivery Network can accelerate your applications and help make sure they are secure, fast, and available.

Audio White Paper - Load Balancing 101 The Evolution Of The ADC

joe@f5.com (F5 DevCentral Team) — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 15:58:24 GMT

One of the unfortunate effects of the continued evolution of the load balancer into today’s application delivery controller (ADC) is that it is often too easy to forget the basic problem for which load balancers were originally created—producing highly available, scalable, and predictable application services. We get too lost in the realm of intelligent application routing, virtualized application services, and shared infrastructure deployments to remember that none of these things are possible without a firm basis in basic load balancing technology. So how important is load balancing, and how do its effects lead to streamlined application delivery?
