No one likes a slow, unreliable application. BIG-IP LTM scales dramatically to meet traffic demands, improving load times and user experience. It also makes real-time protocol and traffic-management decisions based on application and server conditions and puts control in your hands with rule customization and programmability.

TCP Optimization - Enable state-of-the-art optimization to dramatically improve mobile performance.

Caching - Offload repetitive traffic from application servers to improve performance and scale.

Emerging Protocols - Provide load-balancing support for IoT clients through the MQTT protocol.

BIG-IP LTM delivers industry-leading SSL performance and visibility for inbound and outbound traffic, so you can protect your entire user experience by encrypting everything from the client to the server. It also defends against DDoS attacks and provides ICAP services for integration with data loss protection and virus protection.

Data Protection - Encrypt traffic with a choice of cipher suites based on policy, compliance, or mobile needs.

Perfect Forward Secrecy - Protect customer privacy from future decryption with a unique key for each session.

Key Protection - Protect and manage keys with hardware security modules for physical, virtual, and multi-cloud.

You want to know how your applications and network are performing for users at all times. BIG-IP LTM puts data logging and analysis, real-time application health monitoring, and detailed F5 Analytics at your fingertips to help you maintain and improve application performance.

F5 Analytics - Provides detailed monitoring for applications to analyze and improve performance.

High Speed Logging - Processes and sends the log messages to remote high-speed log servers for reporting.

Detailed Analysis - Export data streams to third-party analytics for detailed search and issue resolution.

BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager sits between clients and hosts, managing traffic into and out of a data center by way of a pre-configured virtual server that points to a cluster. This gives control over network traffic; selecting the best host destination based on server performance, security, and availability. LTM can be deployed across the range of F5 Appliances running BIG-IP Software.
