  • Enhanced Visibility, Enabling IT Administrators to Respond Quickly to Change

F5’s Application Ready Solution delivers enhanced health monitoring and connection management capabilities. This helps IT teams respond rapidly to dynamic conditions affecting database servers and performance levels. F5’s BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager serves as an intermediary to Oracle Database servers, monitoring their health and providing the ability to manage connections from the application to the database for added efficiency.

  • Savings in Time and Resources for Data Replication

F5’s BIG-IP WAN Optimization Module can dramatically reduce the volume of data transmitted over the WAN during data replication. Moreover, BIG-IP solutions can also accelerate database replication over bandwidth-constrained network environments by up to 9 times, while offloading all processing for network compression, network optimization, and SSL encryption from Oracle Database servers.
