Latin America. F5 Networks announced its new F5 Ready program that makes it easy for customers to use F5 solutions in the cloud environment of their choice. F5 Ready serves to verify that F5's software-based solutions support a wide range of cloud providers around the world, making cloud agility, efficiency, and cost savings accessible to more organizations. With the introduction of this global program, customers can better ensure the security, performance and availability of applications in these cloud environments.
F5 Ready promotes interoperability and resource efficiency, helping to migrate applications and services to private, public and hybrid cloud environments. The program verifies the compatibility of the F5 BIG-IP® virtual edition with a growing list of public cloud service providers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Bluelock, BT, Cisco Intercloud, Datacom, Dimension Data, Microsoft Azure, Rackspace, SingleHop, Skytap, and VMware vCloud Air. F5 Ready will continue to add cloud providers from around the world and from different industries to best serve the diverse needs of customers around the world.
"Organizations moving to the cloud want to know that they won't give up their valuable application services to get there," said Alex Rublowsky, senior director of licensing business models at F5. "Through the F5 Ready program, customers can retain their security, availability and acceleration services (even as they evaluate cloud service providers, combine multi-vendor technologies, and seek to scale additional application resources to public cloud environments)."
