Reduce TCO with F5 BIG-IP and F5 Distributed Cloud Services

In today's fast-paced, hybrid world, organizations are leveraging a combination of multicloud, on-premises, and edge environments to deliver scalable and dynamic applications. Deploying applications in multiple environments allows organizations to make infrastructure choices that work for them, but this creates a ton of operational complexity. With increased complexity come challenges such as managing operational costs, maintaining security posture, ensuring scalability, and optimizing application performance across distributed environments.

Many of our customers are grappling with these very issues, especially those customers who are considering a hardware refresh. What makes the most sense for their business? Should they go all-in on new F5 hardware, or update existing cloud deployments? With F5 Distributed Cloud Services, they now have a way to leverage SaaS-based flexibility in tandem with the power of F5 BIG-IP hardware, as part of the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform

Distributed Cloud Services can help reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) while still providing the reliability and security customers expect from F5. Organizations can add new layers of security with centralized control, optimize the performance of F5 hardware by offloading lightweight applications to Distributed Cloud Services, take advantage of a SaaS-based delivery and security model, and simplify hybrid multicloud application management.

With the productivity gains inherent in each of these benefits, customers can see up to a 46% ROI by augmenting BIG-IP with Distributed Cloud Services, according to an F5 analysis. We have seen customers save their teams up to 200 hours per person in the first year, thanks to the flexibility, scalability, and automation built into Distributed Cloud Services.
