F5 has announced partner support for its Synthesis architecture product.
The company’s new open architecture means sales and technology partners can include value-added services with Synthesis.
The product promotes the delivery of software-defined application services (SDAS) in data centre, cloud and hybrid environments, using F5 technologies TMOS and ScaleN to provide scalability and speed up time to market.
The firm claims Synthesis can support up to 1.28 million instances in a combination of administrative domains and virtual instances by clustering up to 32 unique F5 platforms deployed across any combination of hardware, software, or cloud resources, resulting in a combined throughput of 20.5 TB and connection capacity of 9.2 billion.
It hopes the architecture will appeal to potential SDN technology partners, security product providers, and cloud platforms.
Bethany Mayer, VP of networking at HP, said: "Customers require agile networks and services that deliver speed and effectively support business applications.
"HP’s software defined network solutions and ecosystem work in concert with the F5 Synthesis architecture to deliver simplified solutions with automated policies and orchestration for the network as well as the services running on top of it."
