F5 Networks has introduced its BIG-IP Version 10.2 software to help extend
enterprise datacenter architecture to the cloud, and enable enterprises and
service providers to realize the potential of 'On-Demand IT' through a dynamic
services model. To help customers unlock the power of 'On-Demand IT,' F5 is
detailing a comprehensive approach that integrates disparate technologies for
application delivery, security, optimization, data management and infrastructure
to control all critical technologies needed to realize the true flexibility and
agility of virtualization and cloud computing solutions.

F5's holistic approach, which integrates multi-vendor solutions into a
unified whole is the cornerstone of its dynamic services model. With F5's
unified application delivery architecture, enterprise customers can easily
implement centrally managed security enforcement policies that provide user
access according to specific IT requirements and business needs. F5's vision of
a dynamic services model is further buoyed by its ongoing collaboration with
technology partners like Microsoft, VMware, and Gomez. These partnerships help
to integrate virtualization management and end-user performance monitoring and
management solutions within an overall dynamic control plane.
