Deliver Better Performance with Global Server Load Balancing
Improve the performance and availability of your global applications by sending users to the closest or fastest endpoint—whether physical, virtual, or cloud environment with F5 global server load balancing (GSLB).
Optimize global app delivery
Ensure the high availability of your global applications in all environments. Global server load balancing distributes user application requests based on business policies, data center and cloud service conditions, user location, and application performance—so you can be confident that all your apps are performing the way your users and customers expect.
Intelligent load balancing
Support application requirements across data center and cloud environments while keeping apps available.
Always-on availability
Distribute app traffic to keep pace with changing network and user volumes.
Location-based routing
Route clients to the nearest data center with geolocation-based load balancing for the best user experience.
Automated failover
Get the flexibility to shift traffic to a backup data center and fail over an entire site, or just control the affected apps.
Wide area persistence
Automatically synchronize data, propagate local DNS, and maintain session integrity to ensure user connections persist across apps and data centers.
Custom topology mapping
Define and save custom region groupings to configure topology based on intranet app traffic policies that match your internal infrastructure.
Infrastructure monitoring
Lets you keep an eye on your entire infrastructure health, eliminating single points of failure and routing app traffic away from poorly performing sites.
Robust container apps
Monitor and target specific container cluster apps with global load balancing between clusters across multi-cloud and on premises.
Deploy however you want
