F5 VELOS Hardware Chassis and Blades
Performance and reliability of hardware. Agility and scale of a modern architecture. Meet F5’s powerful next-generation chassis system.
Use Cases: Bridge Traditional and Modern Architectures
You’ll shorten time to market for new applications by automating network operations and implementing an on-ramp to your cloud strategy with VELOS’ scale and full stack programmability. With F5, you’ll deploy configurations in conformity across on-premises and cloud environments, dramatically reducing TCO with VELOS systems and extend commercial models as you migrate from hardware to software and cloud.
- On-Demand Scalability, Full Stack Programmability - You’ll ease the transition to cloud and lower operating costs as you shift workloads, scale on-premises and in cloud, avoiding time-consuming heavily refactored apps.
F5 VELOS hardware provides edge security and enables DDoS mitigation required for an edge-based platform. 5G-ready DDoS mitigation is enabled in an always-on (in-line) configuration, allowing better performance than a traffic-redirect solution. VELOS scales to ensure high-performance security for the 5G forwarding plane that requires the use of high-performance hardware.
- 5G Edge Infrastructure with VNFs and App Delivery - Provides a high-performance security solution that protects the network from core to edge and can flexibly scale throughout the transition to 5G.
Product Overview
VELOS efficiently manages and secures your most demanding applications and continues the industry leadership for Layer 4-7 throughput, connection processing, and SSL/ECC performance. VELOS relies on an API-first architecture and uses a Kubernetes-based platform layer that is tightly integrated with F5’s TMOS software. This fully automatable system aligns with your modern architecture plans.
