The BIG-IP product family is a system of integrated application delivery services that work together on the same best-in-class hardware. From load balancing, SSL offload, and web acceleration to network security, application security, access control, and much more, the BIG-IP system creates an agile infrastructure to ensure your applications are always fast, secure, and available.

The modular BIG-IP system is built on the TMOS platform, which offers tremendous scalability and customization. You can start with one specific function to meet your current business needs and budget, and add more capacity and functionality as your application and business demands change.

With TMOS, you gain the adaptability to adjust to network conditions and business policies using iControl, F5’s highly versatile open API, and iRules, the F5 custom, event-driven scripting language. You also get a unique, application-centric view of your infrastructure with powerful iApps features. iApps enables you to deploy and manage network services for each of your specific applications with unprecedented speed and accuracy. In addition, TMOS also gives you unique Scale^N functionality, which enables you to virtualize, scale up, or scale out on demand as your business needs change.
