This document discusses software-defined application services from F5 Networks. It defines application services as programs that execute actions on application data and protocols between end users and applications. It introduces the concept of software-defined application services as being programmable through open APIs and scripting languages. The document describes F5's software-defined application services portfolio called Synthesis, which provides programmability, high performance, and orchestration capabilities for application services across data centers, public clouds, and as managed services.

Data Center / On-Prem HOW IT WORKS • IT delivers Software Defined Application Services through F5 Synthesis • On-premise Software Defined Application Services can be managed • Through F5 Synthesis’ Intelligent Orchestration offering, BIG-IQ • Through integrated systems such as Cisco ACI, VMware NSX and OpenStack • Directly via F5 APIs and programmable templates, iApp • Via operational frameworks like Puppet, Chef and Juju Cloud HOW IT WORKS • Software Defined Application Services are delivered through cloud marketplaces like Amazon Web Services and the VMware vCloud Air. • SDAS in the cloud can be managed • Through F5 Synthesis’ Intelligent Orchestration offering, BIG-IQ • Directly via F5 APIs and programmable templates, iApp • Via operational frameworks like Puppet, Chef and Juju • SDAS are delivered as integrated cloud services, such as Rackspace RackConnect • Cloud integrated SDAS are managed • Through a provider defined set of APIs • Through a provider supplied portal or user interface Integrated Systems HOW IT WORKS • IT delivers Software Defined Application Services through F5 Synthesis as part of an Integrated System Platform such as • Microsoft Cloud Platform System • VCE • Software Defined Application Services can then be delivered As a Service or In the Cloud or On Premise. As-a-Service HOW IT WORKS • Some F5 Software Defined Application Services are delivered on a subscription basis from the cloud, as a service • DDoS Mitigation as a Service (Defense.Net) • Web anti-fraud as a service through F5 WebSafe and MobileSafe • F5 SDAS as a Service can be managed • Through a service portal from the cloud • Directly via the service GUI © F5 Networks, Inc. 13

Editor's Notes
- Percentage of respondents in our State of App Delivery survey who (a) have deployed now at least 1 service from the category and (b) those who will deploy in the next 12 months at least one service from the category. (See slide 4 for a breakdown of the categories)
- The SDN space is a crowded space with many companies and technologies in play. At the base we have stateless L2-4 transport technologies: OpenFlow, Overlay Networking, Service Chaining, etc. At the top we have a number of orchestration solutions to help manage the network. However, to fully deploy both legacy and modern applications, the network needs to be enhanced with Stateful L4-7 services ranging from L4 and application firewalls to advanced ADCs. F5’s Software Defined Application Services (SDAS) provide rich services including: Security, Access Management, Availability, Mobility, Performance, and others on an elastic scalable fabric.
