Editor's Notes
- Gartner reference
- Virt Example:MS EXCHANGE - As an example forMicrosoft Exchange, F5 was able to offload 40% of the CPU load. This enables servers to handle approximately 60% more virtual machine capacity on the same physical x86 servers than before. SAP - F5 achieved 30% decrease in CPU load, which increases the VM density per server by up to 40%, enabling greater savings and ROI.

- By building out a robust ecosystem and embedded “OEM” relationships with these partners we assure customers of our interoperability before you deploy. A10 simply does not have the resources nor the expertise to deliver this. This translates into lower TCO because we take on this work, not you.Ericsson, NSN, Byte, Flash, Openwave, and Comverse are all embedded partners (otherwise known as OEM's) who purchase and resell F5 as and embedded part of their solution. They wouldn’t do this if they couldn’t trust us. Something A10 can’t claim.
- The same is true for our enterprise partners like Microsoft, Vmware or Oracle. Again, A10 can’t make these claims. To prove it, just go to our online solution center or visit our Int’l Tech Center to see for yourself all the IP and resource we put into proving out these solutions. Compare the number of our deep/meaningful partnerships, the number of solution and deployment guides, the number of application templates, and the activity in DevCentral around these. No other competitor has the reach or depth, especially A10. And this isn’t for partnerships’ sake but for what it means for our customers so we fit and are a good player within the dynamic services model. We know we’re not the only player in the data center and our success, our customers’ success is dependent on how well we partner with other elements in the ecosystem to prove not only interoperability but integration with the applications, infrastructure, and clients.
