TechEd2013 – Gimme 90 Seconds Betcha Didn’t Know Edition (feat. Simpson)

The coolest trade show game show is back! F5 Business Development Manager Phil Simpson tests his F5 knowledge in this special ‘Betcha Didn’t Know’ Edition. When people hear of the many BIG-IP capabilities their response is often, ‘I didn’t know you could do that!’ Let’s see if Phil can win the limited edition psilva autographed F5 ball by sharing some unique BIG-IP features that you may not have known about. These are always fun.

TechEd2013 – NVGRE with Microsoft’s System Center 2012 VMM (feat. Korock)

After resisting for over 3 years, F5 Technical Director Ryan Korock finally joins me on camera to discuss the new NVGRE solution. This new solution—along with F5’s broader solution set—aims to help customers assure reliable performance regardless of how individual organizations choose to architect their systems. Through integration with Microsoft’s System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager, the F5 solution will dynamically serve as a bridge between customers’ virtualized and non-virtualized environments. F5 solutions can augment Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V Network Virtualization environments, providing notable benefits for organizations deploying Microsoft and F5 technologies in concert, including cloud and service providers.

TechEd2013 – Secure Windows Azure Access

I meet with F5 Solution Engineer Greg Coward to talk about and demo the BIG-IP IPsec integration with Windows Azure. To support the number of organizations embracing the Windows Azure cloud platform, Microsoft has chosen to work with F5 on integrating complementary technologies. The integration enables BIG-IP solutions to better direct, monitor, and secure application resources according to an IT team’s traffic management preferences. BIG-IP LTM provides advanced IPsec tunneling capabilities between corporate data centers and multiple Windows Azure data centers. This approach enhances access and security capabilities across separate resource environments, while enabling application services—such as optimization and health monitoring—to be seamlessly deployed as if all cloud and data center resources were connected by the same local networking fabric.
