F5 Networks will reveal its long-touted next-generation Internet traffic management switch on Tuesday, a device it says will help corporate customers get better performance from their networks.
The latest version of Big-IP has a new operating system that will be used in all upcoming F5 products. The new software packs traffic compression, protection against denial-of-service attacks, TCP/IP rate shaping, Secure Socket Layer acceleration, IPv6 translation, cookie encryption, authentication support and several other features into a single device. Apart from the promise of better network performance, the device is also intended to reduce complexity and equipment costs by consolidating functions into one box, according to the company.
