F5 Networks has introduced new software solutions as it looks to expand its offerings across physical, virtual and cloud infrastructures.

The new solutions will extend the capabilities of the F5 Synthesis framework in order to allow all applications to receive services, regardless of where the applications are located.

F5 LineRate Point Load Balancer will provide an application proxy which expands the F5’s application delivery solution family, with the new offering allowing customers to deploy layer 7 load balancing in a virtual form factor.

The Load Balancer is scalable for Software Defined Data Centres.

The development of these new solutions has been focused on being able to reduce the impact on compute, memory, and storage resources in cloud, hybrid and enterprise data centre environments.

Ryan Kearny, SVP of Product Development at F5, said: "LineRate Point Load Balancer and Volume Licensing Subscription enable customers to scale virtualized application services at the correct scope and pace for their initiatives."

"F5’s streamlined Good, Better, Best purchasing model and cloud licensing options provide considerable savings compared to adding individual services a la carte. With F5’s software-based solutions, customers can efficiently build out their public/private cloud and data center environments with ultimate flexibility."
