Lightboard Lessons: SSO to Legacy Web Applications

IT organizations have a simple goal: make it easy for workers to access all their work applications from any device. But that simple goal becomes complicated when new apps and old, legacy applications do not authenticate in the same way.

In this Lightboard Lesson, I draw out how VMware and F5 helps remove these complexities and enable productive, any-device app access. By enabling secure SSO to Kerberos constrained delegation (KCD) and header-based authentication apps, VMware Workspace ONE and F5 BIG-IP APM help workers securely access all the apps they need—mobile, cloud and legacy—on any device anywhere.

F5 + Blue Medora: Gain Control of Your Applications with vRealize

Together with F5 and Blue Medora, extend the view of the VMware vRealize Operations management platform with a BIG-IP Plug-in Management Pack directly available from VMware Solution Exchange. This allows customers to monitor the critical components of application delivery at the virtualization layer to diagnose issues to make adjustments real-time.

Software Defined Data Center Made Simple (feat. Pindell) - VMworld2015

The fun and always interesting Paul Pindell, Sr. Solution Architect, breaks down the #SDDC in clear and simple terms. He discusses the various elements such as software defined compute, software defined storage and software defined network along with management and how they combine to create a software defined data center. Each element can be abstracted and pooled to have a simplified, automated, orchestrated data center solution. He also talks about VMware’s Unified Hybrid Cloud and how F5 solutions help control access, provide security and allow organizations to deploy applications faster than ever.

Justin Venezia, Sr. Solution Architect covering #VMware Alliance, does an excellent job talking about the transformation from BYOD a couple years ago to the BYO-Technology today and the challenges of providing a seamless, simple, secure and uniform end user experience - no matter what type device they are using. From the sales rep to the CFO to the IT guy who needs to support them all, Justin discusses a couple different scenarios of connecting the untethered employee. He explains the nuances of allowing corporate access and details the control you have with the F5-VMware integration.
