F5 Announces New Application Delivery and Security Platform

F5 aims to redefine Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) with its new Application Delivery and Security Platform for high-performance workloads.

“With the rise of APIs, microservices, and AI-driven workloads, ADCs have never been more critical,” says Kunal Anand in a related blog post. “The deployment of modern, AI-driven workloads requires a solution that supports intelligent traffic management, provides robust security, and offers unified management across all environments.”

The company’s next-gen ADC platform (ADC 3.0) offers far more than the load balancing of the past, Anand says. “It combines high-performance load balancing and application delivery with advanced web application and API cybersecurity capabilities.”

ADC 3.0 includes the following properties:

• Complete delivery and security for every app
• Deployable in any form factor
• Single policy, unified management across all locations
• Rich analytics and insights
• Fully programmable data planes
• Full lifecycle automation
