Web Host Latisys Uses F5 Hardware to Enhance Cloud Services
F5 Networks’ VIPRION 2400
(WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) — Application delivery networking provider F5 Networks (www.f5.com) announced on Monday that web hosting provider Latisys (www.latisys.com) is implementing F5 VIPRION Application Delivery Controllers as a foundation of its private cloud and managed hosting solutions.
Latisys provides a range of services, including colocation, managed hosting, and cloud services, from its secure Tier III data centers across the United States.
The company is enhancing its enterprise-grade managed services offering, which provides security, backup and recovery, storage, compute resources, and load balancing, to achieve service provider-grade performance levels.
Latisys cloud services enables customers to expand their IT infrastructures dynamically to meet sudden increases in demand for computing resources while benefiting from a highly secure, fully redundant platform.
“Serving both enterprises and carriers, we need to ensure that our private cloud resources scale reliably,” said Christian Teeft, VP of engineering at Latisys. “F5′s VIPRION is a high performance, cost-effective solution that delivers the on-demand resource provisioning we require.”
VIPRION, a chassis-based hardware platform with high-performance modular blades, enables Latisys to scale on demand to deliver higher levels of throughput and transactions per second without adding more devices, disrupting users or applications, or increasing management costs.
Latisys chose the VIPRION 2400 as the basis of its private cloud-based service delivery network, enabling the company to manage CapEx and OpEx while delivering a true pay-as-you-go deployment model for its customers.
Before selecting the VIPRION solution, Latisys evaluated application delivery products from competing vendors.
Leveraging its existing BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager and Global Traffic Manager deployments, Latisys can use F5′s open application programming interface iControl to provision additional resources and ensure high availability.
In addition, Latisys can benefit from BIG-IP SSL offload capabilities, which decrease server CPU utilization to provide additional cost benefits and resource conservation.
VIPRION devices also provide Virtual Clustered Multiprocessing technology, which combines virtualization and multi-tenancy capabilities.
