What we’re doing together

Application speed to value and optimized performance

Business service and process applications are core enterprise investments. But accelerating application delivery also intensifies the pressure on workload performance and increases the number of vulnerable cyber attack surfaces. Red Hat and F5 offer joint services, solutions, and platform integrations that streamline production and delivery of powerful and protected business applications. Together, these solutions reduce application bottlenecks, automate workflows, and support enhanced application availability and scalability.
