F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes, F5’s new intelligent proxy, combined with NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs, transforms application delivery for AI workloads
SEATTLE: F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV) today announced the availability of BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes, an innovative AI application delivery and security solution that equips service providers and large enterprises with a centralized control point to accelerate, secure, and streamline data traffic that flows into and out of large-scale AI infrastructures.
The solution harnesses the power of high-performance NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs to enhance the efficiency of data center traffic that is critical to large-scale AI deployments. With an integrated view of networking, traffic management, and security, customers will be able to maximize data center resource utilization while achieving optimal AI application performance. This not only improves infrastructure efficiency but also enables faster, more responsive AI inference, ultimately delivering an enhanced AI-driven customer experience.
F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes is a purpose-built solution for Kubernetes environments that has been proven in large-scale telco cloud and 5G infrastructures. With BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes, this technology is now tailored for leading AI use cases such as inference, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and seamless data management and storage. The integration with NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs minimizes hardware footprint, enables granular multi-tenancy, and optimizes energy consumption while delivering high-performance networking, security, and traffic management.
The combination of F5 and NVIDIA technologies allows both mobile and fixed-line telco service providers to ease the transition to cloud-native (Kubernetes) infrastructure, addressing the growing demand for vendors to adapt their functions to a cloud-native network functions (CNFs) model. F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes offloads data-heavy tasks to the BlueField-3 DPUs, freeing up CPU resources for revenue-generating applications. The solution is particularly beneficial at the network edge for virtualized RAN (vRAN) or DAA for MSO, and in the core network for 5G, enabling future potential for 6G.
Designed specifically for high-demand service providers and large-scale infrastructures, F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes:
Availability for BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes running on NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs will begin in November. Additional information can also be found in a companion blog post from F5.
