F5 will supercharge the delivery of AI applications to providers of services and enterprises with NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs
F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes , F5 ’ s new intelligent proxy , combined with NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs , transforms application delivery for AI workloads .
F
5 has 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 point of control to accelerate , secure , and optimize data traffic into and out of large-scale AI infrastructures .
The solution leverages the power of highperformance NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs to improve data center traffic efficiency , which is critical for large-scale AI deployments . With an integrated view of networking , traffic management , and security , customers will be able to maximize the utilization of data center resources while achieving optimal performance of AI applications .
Not only does this improve infrastructure efficiency , but it also promotes faster and more responsive AI inference , ultimately delivering an improved AI-driven customer experience .
F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes is a purpose-built solution for Kubernetes environments , proven in cloud and 5G infrastructures of large telcos . With BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes , this technology is now adapted to key AI use cases , such as inference , augmented recovery generation ( RAG ), and continuous data management and storage . Integration with NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs minimizes hardware footprint , enables granular multi-tenancy , and optimizes power consumption while providing high-performance networking , security and traffic management .
The combination of F5 and NVIDIA technologies enables mobile and fixedline telecommunications service providers to ease the transition to cloud-native infrastructure ( Kubernetes ), addressing the growing requirement for vendors to adapt their functions to a cloud-native network functions ( CNFs ) model . F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes offloads data-intensive tasks to 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 at 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 :
• Simplifies cloud-scale AI service delivery : BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes integrates seamlessly with customers ’ front-end networks , significantly reducing latency while delivering high-performance load balancing to handle the immense data demands of AI models with billions of parameters and trillions of operations .
• Enhances control of AI deployments : The solution provides a centralized integration point into modern AI networks , with rich observability
and refined insights . BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes supports multiple L7 protocols in addition to HTTP , ensuring enhanced input and output control with very high performance .
• Secures the new AI landscape : Customers can fully automate the discovery and security of AI training and inference endpoints . BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes also isolates AI applications from targeted threats , enforcing data integrity and sovereignty while meeting critical encryption capabilities for modern AI environments .
Ash Bhalgat , Senior Director of AI Networking and Security Partnerships at NVIDIA , said : “ Service providers and enterprises require accelerated computing to deliver high-performance AI applications , securely and efficiently , at cloud scale . NVIDIA is working with F5 to accelerate the delivery of AI applications , better ensuring maximum efficiency and seamless user experiences powered by BlueField-3 DPUs .” •
