F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV),\u00a0the global leader in delivering and securing every app and API, announced it has expanded its partnership with Equinix to simplify the deployment and security of modern, distributed applications and AI workloads across hybrid multicloud environments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The broadened solution brings together the\u00a0F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(ADSP) with Equinix\u2019s Network Edge and Equinix Fabric. Together, they enable enterprises to quickly and securely scale digital infrastructure globally\u2014without the complexities of physical hardware.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As large enterprises face pressure to quickly deploy and secure applications, Equinix and F5 offer a streamlined way to deliver high-performance applications securely across locations while reducing infrastructure costs and management overhead. The solution helps joint customers tackle challenges like operational complexity, rising costs, cyber-risk, and regulatory compliance in hybrid multicloud environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

F5 Distributed Cloud Customer Edge, which is a critical component of the F5 ADSP, is now available as a virtual network function (VNF) on Equinix Network Edge, enabling near-instant provisioning of F5\u2019s app delivery and security services across Equinix\u2019s global footprint. By leveraging Equinix\u2019s extensive global infrastructure and interconnection, businesses can dynamically adapt to changing demands while maintaining seamless connectivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
