APM The purpose of the Access Policy Manager is to create a secure access to internal applications by using a single authentication and provide control using a single management interface. Provide unified global access Obtain flexibility, high performance, and scalability available in three deployment options: as an add-on module for LTM for protecting Internet-facing applications for accelerated remote access Consolidate and simplify, provide centralized AAA LTM The purpose of the Local Traffic Manager is to load balance applications in your environment by using advanced TCP connection management, TCP optimization and server offloading and also provides a high security solution. The LTMs iApps functionality is a powerful set of features that enable you to manage application services rather than individual devices and objects. Easily deploy applications and ensure availability Accelerate your applications up to 3x Take control over application delivery Reduce servers, bandwidth, and management costs ASM Is a flexible web application firewall that secures web applications in traditional, virtual, and private cloud environments. The purpose of the Application Security Manager is to secure web applications using a certified web application firewall and offer threat assessment and visibility. Deliver comprehensive security GTM Distributes DNS and user application requests based on business policies, data center and network conditions, user location, and application performance. The purpose of the Global Traffic Manager is to ensure availability and access to the applications in your environment by using comprehensive health checks and load balancing methods to determine what site the user should access to get the best application experience. Control and ensure app availability Improve application performance AAM The purpose of the Application Acceleration Manager is to overcome WAN latency, maximizes server capacity, and speeds application response times. AAM decreases the need for additional bandwidth and hardware so users get fast access to applications, while you gain greater revenue and free up IT resources. AFM The purpose of the Application Delivery Firewall is to combine the network firewall with anti-DDoS, traffic management, application security, user access management, and DNS security. By integrating these core datacenter features, F5 application delivery firewall reduces management complexity and overhead and is ideal for protecting internet-facing data centers wherever they reside. iRULE Send traffic: to pools, to individual pool members, ports, or URIs What is an iRule?
