Application traffic is growing exponentially, driven by the ongoing growth of remote

workforces, increasing numbers of applications, video streaming, and IoT, and increasing
pressure on global IT infrastructure resources to deliver unprecedented performance
and scalability.

Additionally, encrypted SSL/TLS traffic now represents the vast majority of total application
traffic, adding additional strain on IT resources that can’t effectively manage the increased
load. F5’s rSeries appliances offer up to 2x the level of performance as compared to previous
generations, enabling more efficient CPU resource utilization, higher scalability,
and industry-leading SSL/TLS processing scale to manage and control the increasing
amount of application traffic.

Virtualization and multi-tenant architectures are often implemented to address business

and topological requirements, such as being able to consolidate services and acquire or
merge existing networks. Multi-tenancy enables customers to host many different F5®
BIG-IP® tenants on the same appliance, which may vary in terms of supported versions
depending on the needs of particular applications or business requirements. Each tenant
can be independently upgraded or patched without impacting other tenants. In addition,
multi-tenancy delivers full tenant isolation and failure—independent of traffic, data, and
administrative access—for unmatched tenant isolation.

F5 ADC System 4
 Traditionally, F5’s Virtual Clustered Multiprocessing (vCMP) technology gave organizations
a virtualization strategy for application delivery and isolating multi-tenant environments
on F5 hardware platforms. F5 rSeries continues to support—and improve on—the vCMP
technology that benefits many customers. F5 rSeries supports flexible, multi-tenancy options
across system resources and enables even more multi-tenancy density than was previously
achievable with BIG-IP® iSeries®. This allows customers to achieve greater ROI on their new
F5 hardware investments by allocating system resources more effectively.

F5 rSeries relies on a F5OS (a new Kubernetes-based platform layer) that’s fully integrated
with F5’s TMOS software, aligning with your modern architecture plans. Going to a
microservice-based platform layer allows rSeries to provide new and exciting features that
were not possible in previous generations of F5® BIG-IP® platforms. This layer powers the
new platform and is abstracted through F5OS interfaces so you can manage it via familiar CLI,
GUI, and API interfaces. This means you can simultaneously run tenants with the current and
next generation of BIG-IP software with more modern microservice-based BIG-IP software that
will be introduced in the future. rSeries is more aligned to modern architectures, which allows
you to future-proof your deployments and environments.

With the demands of your business, you’re under pressure to deploy and scale application
services faster than ever before. Now, you don’t need to implement software-only
infrastructure to take advantage of CI/CD toolset integration, declarative APIs, and telemetry-
based implementations. With its API-first architecture, F5 rSeries provides a fully automatable
system that can deliver the agility you need today.

With rSeries, you can take advantage of F5’s Automation Toolchain for F5 TMOS based BIG-IP
software. Automation Toolchain offers a way to simplify and streamline your F5 portfolio with
simple, yet powerful declarative interfaces that minimize F5 knowledge requirements, reduce
errors, increase deployment velocity, and make workflows more repeatable. Automation
Toolchain is comprised of a unified set of REST API endpoints built using human-readable
JSON source of truth documents installed on BIG-IP or on BIG-IQ in any environment that
supports those solutions. The Automation Toolchain makes it faster, easier, and more
programmatic to configure and deploy F5 application delivery and security services.

F5 ADC System 5
Programmability
Enabling automation and orchestration is key to achieving the benefits of cloud and
software-defined architectures and to scaling application services on demand. F5 platforms
offer many ways to program the application services fabric and network, enabling
organizations to automate deployment, react to events in real time, and easily integrate
into orchestration systems.

F5 iRules® scripting has long provided granular traffic control and visibility, enabling
customization, rapid response to code errors and security vulnerabilities, and support for new
protocols. F5 rSeries and BIG-IP tenants are fully automatable with iRules and AS3. F5 iRules
LX™ lowers costs and speeds deployments by extending iRules to JavaScript developers and
providing access to, and easier integration with, over 300,000 community Node.js packages.

In addition, F5 iApps® and F5 Application Services Templates (FAST) templates are powerful
tools that enable you to automate deployment and configuration of enterprise application
services as a whole, rather than individually managing configuration and objects. iApps and
FAST give you greater visibility into and control over application delivery—and helps you
deploy in hours rather than weeks.

F5 iControl® REST APIs and SDKs integrate with leading open source and commercial
orchestration systems, VMware, OpenStack clouds, and configuration management and
automation systems such as Puppet, Chef, Ansible, and Terraform.

BIG-IQ Centralized Management

F5 BIG-IQ® Centralized Management is F5’s management and orchestration platform for
BIG-IP. It provides a central point of control for F5 physical and virtual devices and the app
delivery and security services that run on them. BIG-IQ Centralized Management is available
as a virtual edition. It simplifies management, helps ensure compliance, and gives you the
visibility and reporting you need to troubleshoot and respond to issues and security attacks.

BIG-IQ manages policies, licenses, SSL certificates, images, and configurations for F5 devices
and the following BIG-IP software modules:

• BIG-IP® Local Traffic Manager™ (LTM)

• BIG-IP® Advanced Firewall Manager™ (AFM)

• BIG-IP® Access Policy Manager® (APM)

• BIG-IP® DNS

• BIG-IP® Advanced Web Application Firewall® (WAF)

• BIG-IP® SSL Orchestrator®

• BIG-IP® DDoS Hybrid Defender®

• F5 Secure Web Gateway Services®

F5 ADC System 6
BIG-IQ Centralized Management supports rSeries appliances, BIG-IP iSeries appliances,
VELOS and VIPRION chassis/blades, and BIG-IP virtual editions (VE), whether they’re running
in private or public cloud environments. This solution is ideal for organizations that require
central management of F5 devices and modules, license management of BIG-IP VEs, or
central reporting and alerting on application availability, performance, and security.

F I P S C O M P L I A N C E AT S C A L E

The Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) specify requirements for cryptographic
modules. FIPS compliance is required for many government agencies and industries, such
as financial services and healthcare, that demand the highest standards in information,
application, and data security. F5 offers a broad range of FIPS-validated hardware
appliances that support a FIPS 140-2 Level 2 and FIPS 140-3 Level 2 implementations for
RSA cryptographic key generation, use, and protection when running validated versions of
BIG-IP TMOS. Current Validations and those Under Test can be viewed here in the “F5 FIPS
Cryptographic Modules” section: https://www.f5.com/company/certifications.

For additional protection, the F5 r10920-DF and r5920-DF ship with an embedded 3rd Party
FIPS grade Internal HSM (PCI card), tested by the Marvell company at FIPS 140-3 Level 3
to ensure compliance and operate in a FIPS Ready mode. F5 Hardware FIPS appliances
include integrated HSMs that have tamper-evident seals with a hardened-epoxy cover which,
if removed, will render the card useless.

Service Provider Solutions

Globally, service providers are investing in 5G networks and in trying to secure both
consumer and business markets. Increased throughput and reduced latency are the key
drivers for the network edge, particularly for video applications that are straining today’s
networks. Service providers also need to develop new consumption models and revenue-
generating services to stay competitive. A flexible, secure, high-performance solution is
required. The rSeries provides hardware-assisted L4 offload for high-performance tunneling
protocols (VXLAN, IPSec, GTP, GRE, and others) and for high-performance security services
to protect public-facing websites and data center applications from distributed, multi-layer
cyberattacks through AFM. The rSeries also offers hardware-assisted DDoS mitigation of
DDoS vectors, per-endpoint DoS protection, wildcard VS SYN cookie protection, and zone-
based DDoS support. BIG-IP CGNAT eases IPv6 migration and improves network scalability
with IPv4 address management. A combined CGNAT and BIG-IP Policy Enforcement Manager
(PEM) enables a secure, subscriber-aware network firewall that masks subscriber addresses,
and can be part of an optimized S/Gi-LAN/N6 solution. PEM can create differentiated
services, manage traffic by leveraging subscriber and application awareness, and implement
enforcement policies.

F5’s migration tool, Journeys, helps users adopt newer platforms like rSeries by providing
a frictionless migration experience. It allows users to migrate from any source platform (F5
chassis, appliance, or VE) running BIG-IP software to the platform of their choice. The tool
assists in checking feature compatibility issues between different platforms and software
versions, identifying and troubleshooting migration issues, and reducing overall complexity
and time spent on migration. It’s a single tool with an easy-to-use GUI interface that helps to
migrate all the L4–L7 customer configurations with minimal disruption to a customer’s existing
operational procedures. This tool also provides post-migration validation metrics in terms of
the memory footprint, cluster status, and configuration object count, for improved visibility into
the migration status and reduced runtime issues.
