Application Virtualization
Create fluid application delivery by virtualizing the application layer
Application virtualization allows you to deliver applications from any platform, over any network, in any context. This is just one type of virtualization technology, and a combination of other types of virtualization--such as with storage, networks, and services--is required to implement full application virtualization in the data center.
F5 solutions use a variety of technologies to achieve application virtualization. Microsoft App-V, for example, allows users to access SharePoint services without having to actually run SharePoint or Windows Server 2008. When all of these virtualization technologies come together, organizations can reap the many benefits of a shared, virtual data center--including lower hardware costs, better availability, and easier maintenance.
Why do I need application virtualization?
Business benefits of using F5 with your application virtualization solution include:
- Reduction in hardware and licensing costs
With F5 solutions, you can spend less on hardware and software while still delivering the same functionality and performance to users. - Distributed application infrastructure
F5 can help you deliver applications from multiple data centers over varying network conditions. - Enhanced user experience
By virtualizing applications, F5 can help you increase performance and availability, providing the best possible user experience regardless of the application, location, or context.
