Bangalore: F5 Networks has announced availability of a free trial version of its new virtual appliance, the BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) Virtual Edition (VE). The combination of virtual and physical Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) is a major milestone in delivering on F5's vision for dynamic IT infrastructure.
With the addition of BIG-IP LTM VE to its market-leading family of ADC solutions, F5 extends its unique architectural approach for application and data delivery to include both physical and virtual appliances. This release gives developers and architects a new, efficient, and effective tool for modeling ADC deployments. The free trial version is downloadable online, reducing both the time and cost of evaluations.
"The Application Delivery Network is the foundation for a flexible architecture, and F5's advanced ADCs are the enabling solution that allows organizations to deliver services dynamically. Now IT departments can shorten their testing time by simply spinning up a virtual BIG-IP to immediately begin testing on different configurations, iControl and iRules programs, and other variables with confidence that the test results will match live operation of a physical BIG-IP appliance in their production network," said Erik Giesa, Vice President of Product Management and Product Marketing at F5.
