Delivery Controllers, 2010

F5 Networks – Strengths

• F5 is a strong market leader, with a growing share

and a strong financial base.

• F5 Networks has a broad and comprehensive

vision, with industry-leading understanding of the

needs of application development, deployment

and management.

• F5's investment in iRules and iControl results in

strong partnerships and loyal customers that

would find it difficult to migrate away from F5.

Integration with popular integrated development

environments (IDEs), such as Eclipse and

.NET/Visual Basic, also contributes to customer

stickiness.

• F5 has developed a large community of committed

users (using F5's DevCentral portal) that fuels the

use of iRules to solve unique data center

application challenges, creating an increasingly

loyal and engaged user base.
