F5 Networks, Inc., a company specializing in Application Delivery Networking (ADN), announced the availability of a new Application Ready Solution for the recently announced Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) 2010.
According to a release, Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway 2010 provides a unified management interface for multiple remote access technologies including Windows Server 2008 R2 DirectAccess. The company said the F5 Application Ready Solution for Microsoft Forefront UAG 2010 helps enterprise customers embrace this new technology from Microsoft and scale their UAG 2010 deployments. F5 delivers application-level optimization for servers hosting these remote access technologies.
"F5 announced availability of the Application Ready Solution for Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway 2010," said Calvin Rowland, VP of Application Partner Programs at F5. "As the mobile workforce grows, so does the need for organizations to deploy highly available and scalable remote access technologies to deliver business-critical applications to those users. With this addition to F5's extensive Application Ready Solution portfolio, we continue to demonstrate our deep and ongoing commitment to early solution design and qualification with Microsoft, ensuring that F5 solutions are available to customers at the same time that Microsoft products are delivered."
F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) maximizes the availability and performance of the Forefront UAG 2010 servers. F5 iRules commands provide custom client connection handling to ensure that traffic returns from application servers to clients via the same UAG server where the original connection was established.
