F5 launches NGINX One , simplifies app security and delivery for dev , ops and platform teams
F5 has announced the general availability of F5 NGINX One , combining advanced load balancing , web and application server capabilities , API gateway functionalities and security features in a dedicated package . Customers are now able to simply manage and secure F5 NGINX instances and NGINX Open Source from a single cloud management interface . End-to-end visibility speeds apps to market and enables advanced features like AI more efficiently versus a traditional siloed approach .
This new offering makes NGINX technology easier to deploy , unlocking capabilities unmatched by competitors . NGINX One consolidates formerly individual offerings such as NGINX Plus into a unified solution , leading to cost savings and simplified deployments .
Via the new NGINX One Console , customers can ensure global policy compliance and establish a comprehensive view of NGINX , making it easier for organizations to do the right thing for their teams and their business .
“ Successful application deployment is a team sport ,” said Shawn Wormke , Vice President and General Manager for NGINX at F5 . “ App delivery and security functions – and corresponding visibility – are often sequestered among individual groups . NGINX One is ideal for modern , ephemeral , and cloud-native app components such as containers and Kubernetes , providing a solution that costeffectively optimizes , scales , and secures complicated application and API environments across multiple teams .”
Today ’ s application teams in the enterprise face the unprecedented difficulty of delivering apps across a wide variety of contexts – from high-performance ‘ bare metal ’ servers to virtual machines and sprawling Kubernetes clusters , across data centers and in the public cloud . Applying uniform policies for security , compliance and app delivery configuration has challenged these new widely distributed application architectures . For many organizations , maintaining hybrid and multicloud environments adds considerable operational overhead .
NGINX One improves app security and delivery for development , operations and platform teams by making it easier to own ,
optimize and govern NGINX components in any context . With the NGINX One Console , teams can broadly and easily enforce security policies across the application ecosystem , receive and implement configuration guidance , and automate version and patch updates – all helping to ensure compliance .
“ The success of microservices-based and containerized applications and app components relies on the work of many separate teams ,” said Jim Mercer , IDC Program Vice President , Software Development , DevOps , and DevSecOps . “ NGINX One is essentially designed to make it easier to harmonize these workflows . This release marks the evolution of NGINX from primarily a development tool to a more mature enterprise-class SaaS-based
solution . As a result , customers may be able to reduce certain point solutions since they can see performance and security data across the NGINX application landscape without being limited to a single Kubernetes cluster .”
