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.
