Intelligent Compression^™

The BIG-IP^® Intelligent Compression Module dramatically reduces the volume of traffic sent to the user. This allows it to overcome poor Web application performance caused by WAN latency and connection bottlenecks, which both increases performance and greatly enhances the end-user experience.

Faster Download Times

Improves page-rendering speed by up to 5 times.

Lower Bandwidth Bills

Reduces bandwidth bills by up to 80%. This module efficiently compresses a broad variety of content types, including HTTP, XML, Javascript, J2EE applications, and many others.

Client Aware Compression (patent pending)

Targets compression to only those user groups who will benefit. Organizations can select where to apply compression, based on BIG-IP's unique ability to measure client round-trip time and connection type.

No End-User Agents

Reduces HTTP traffic using GZIP and Deflate compression methods. Current browsers support these methods, so compression doesn't require extra downloads or installations.

Adaptive Compression

Allows organizations to control when to apply compression, based on the load on the BIG-IP device. This ensures optimum performance across all functions of the device.
