F5’s new BIG-IP Edge Gateway claims to be the first Application Delivery Controller (ADC) on the market. According to Virtualization Journal, the product unifies secure SSL VPN access, dynamic access, and application acceleration for remote users—regardless of the device or access network—on a single, scalable platform.
“With this release, F5 continues to deliver on its vision of unifying its ADC solution set and redefining how customers implement, share, and cost-effectively extend their Application Delivery Network all the way to the client. With approximately five times the scaling capability and up to an eight times improvement in application performance, the BIG-IP Edge Gateway offers enterprises significant ROI at less than half the cost of alternative, disparate technologies.”
