  1. Application Delivery Network for Microsoft Radovan Gibala R.Gibala@f5.com

  2. Agenda • Application Ready Network • Introduction & Benefits • Basic Components of ARN • Availability • Performance • Security • Deployment Infrastructure for Microsoft Applications • Exchange – Deployment Guides • SharePoint – Deployment Guides • Integration with MOM

  3. RESULT: Applications and Networks operate without regard to each other limiting scale, performance, reliability, and security ! IT Challenge - Out of Control • Applications and networks behave independently • Many network functions require high degrees of manual intervention • Distributed architectures and web services increase complexity • Historically, applications and protocols for communicating with network devices inflexible at best

  4. Application Problems: Finger Pointing 101 Slow responses Bloated data Security risks Many servers Exchange, SharePoint Application Attacks XML, SOAP, ActiveX, JS Office workers telecommuters Network Administrator Application Developer

  5. Slow responses Bloated data Security risks Many servers ? ? *@#! Application Problems: Finger Pointing 101 Exchange, SharePoint XML, SOAP, ActiveX, JS Application Attacks User Office workers; telecommuters Network Administrator Application Developer

  6. Lack of end-user involvement or it happens at the end (too late) The solution is ‘thrown over the wall’ to the infrastructure team! No clear session management approach No clear separation of business logic from the user interface There is no predictable build process of the solution Testers are testing the developers – but who is testing the testers? Performance & security design is kept till the end of the project Browser compatibility is on the agenda yet testing is under estimated Accessibility, globalization and localization are forgotten In accurate project estimates, lack of financial control and frequent financial/time reconciliation processes 10 Most Common Deployment Mistakes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Note: The majority of these are infrastructure and process issues.

  7. Slow responses Fast responses Bloated data Smaller data Security risks Stops attacks Many servers Fewer servers *@#! F5 Networks’ Application Ready Network for Microsoft User Network Administrator Application Developer

  8. The F5 Business Value Reduces company risks by protection of critical applications against security threats simplify the application deployment process !!! Simplifythe operational manageability Reduce the number of Hardware (servers) or Downsize server size Improves application PERFORMANCESignificantly! Reduce maintenance effort Increased availability, scalability and security drives increased business productivity and faster ROI
