F5 believes that applications should just work.

People rely on business applications that are delivered by networks. These applications run everything from e-mail to Web pages to customer orders.

For a business to succeed, applications need to work. They need to be secure, they need to be fast, and they need to always be available.

But as businesses try to do more with their applications, complexity increases -- often to the point that networks and applications stop working.

Why is F5 different?

F5 is the only vendor you can choose today that can make all your applications work using a single, universal platform.

This shared product platform -- called TMOS -- is unlike anything else in the industry. TMOS operates in a fundamentally different way than competing technologies, providing a highly modular architecture used by all F5 products.

The TMOS programming interface -- called iControl -- helps administrators take control of applications, to keep them secure, fast, and available. This interface lets you use iRules scripts, which give you extraordinary flexibility and control over applications and devices.

That flexibility has inspired F5 DevCentral, a thriving online community of tens of thousands of application and network professionals. On DevCentral, our customers collaborate every day on innovative new ideas, techniques, and code, to help businesses scale and adapt quickly to changing needs.

Who relies on F5?

Seven of the Fortune 10 companies rely on F5 as well as Microsoft, Oracle, BEA, and SAP all recommend F5 to their customers. In all, over 16,000 organizations worldwide trust F5 to keep their applications running -- and that number just keeps growing.
