Microsoft is taking virtualization to the next level. Microsoft provides a full suite of technologies to enable an integrated, end-to-end virtualized infrastructure. Using familiar interfaces and common management consoles, a virtualized environment based on Microsoft technologies simplifies infrastructure management and delivers powerful capabilities.
Through tightly coupled integration efforts, F5 and Microsoft's virtualization technologies enable organizations to unlock the power of a comprehensive virtualized ecosystem - from the data center to the desktop.
Microsoft virtualization technologies and F5 solutions work in tandem to provide a comprehensive and dynamic infrastructure, giving joint customers the agility to adapt to varying network and business conditions. With Microsoft and F5, organizations can now integrate virtualization technologies into their infrastructures to cut costs and improve performance, while maintaining the manageability and familiarity of their legacy IT environments. F5 technology enables a Microsoft virtualized environment to monitor the network and take action based on changes in real time network conditions.
F5 Networks has taken the trial and error out of deploying our devices with Microsoft Virtualization solutions, such as Hyper-V and System Center Virtual Machine Manager, with a comprehensive guide providing step by step instructions how to deploy F5 solutions with Hyper-V and SCVMM. F5 engineers have also created deployment guides for leading applications that might be hosted on Microsoft Hyper-V servers. Already up and running? F5's developer community DevCentral has a section dedicated to Microsoft solutions, where you can find forums, tips and tricks, and much more.
