recognized with an HP AllianceOne Award in the “HP Networking –
Networking Optimization” category at the HP
Discover 2014 conference.
This award recognizes F5 for its work with HP, particularly around
software defined networking (SDN). As an example of recent
collaboration, integration between F5’s BIG-IP®
platform and the HP
VAN SDN Controller demonstrated improved performance and security by
augmenting DDoS
mitigation capabilities.
“The goal of our partnership is to provide integrated capabilities that
automate, optimize, and otherwise increase the value of joint
deployments for customers,” said Sangeeta Anand, senior vice president,
Product Management and Product Marketing, F5. “This award signals that
F5’s emphasis on Software
Defined Application Services™ is aligned with the HP SDN
approach. F5 aims to help organizations realize the benefits of
intelligent, programmable systems that seamlessly combine powerful
capabilities from industry-leading vendors.”
The HP AllianceOne partner program offers a solid framework for
collaboration by integrating servers, storage, networking, security,
power & cooling, and services. As a member of the AllianceOne program,
F5 leverages HP AllianceOne solutions, tools, and resources to help
clients speed time to application deployment, optimize infrastructure
capacity, reduce power consumption, and free resources to focus on
innovation that drives business growth.
Since 2007, HP Networking has provided organizations with open
standards-based SDN
solutions, including 30 million OpenFlow ports and its VAN SDN
Controller, which enable customers to explore new business models and
align their networks with business goals. HP customers and partners have
access to HP’s comprehensive SDN ecosystem, including the software
development kit (SDK) and SDN applications.
“Congratulations to F5 Networks on its HP AllianceOne Partner of the
Year Award for HP Networking – Networking Optimization,” said Doug
Oathout, vice president, Channel and Alliances, Enterprise Marketing,
HP. “F5 has demonstrated outstanding dedication and expertise in
addressing the business and technology needs of its customers by helping
them improve protection against DDoS attacks, significantly reducing the
overall impact on valuable IT services, as well as extending the reach
of SDN.”
The HP AllianceOne Award winners were selected by representatives of the
HP areas in which awards were given, and presented to outstanding HP
partners who have demonstrated the ability to develop and deliver
solutions that clearly set them apart from others, as well as provide
