Benefits of Bluelock's Load Balancing Service.
Horizontal Scaling
By utilizing the F5 BIG-IP LTM VE, you can scale your applications horizontally, which means less downtime and better scaling. When web applications experience a drastic increase in traffic, the F5 load balancers can be used to scale your infrastructure.
High Availability
The F5 BIG-IP LTM VE appliances can be clustered for high availability, providing the ultimate solution for high up-time requirements. Prevent application downtime by spreading internet traffic across two or more web servers for high availability even in the event one server becomes unavailable.
Virtual Hardware
Upgrade your F5 by simply adding more CPUs, Memory, or NICs. No need to re-deploy another virtual appliance.
Secure Applications and Data
From powerful network-level and protocol-level security to selective data and cookie encryption, BIG-IP LTM VE deploys a suite of security services to protect the applications that run your business.
Plan for Growth and Avoid Downtime
With BIG-IP LTM VE, you get the industry’s most advanced load balancing and application health monitoring capabilities. BIG-IP LTM VE enables you to seamlessly add virtual servers and redirect traffic away from issues with specific servers or network components. Industry-leading performance ensures that your business has room to grow.
