According to a recent F5 Networks press release, the company has announced a new cloudbursting solution that enables enterprises to more easily augment the capacity of their data centers with external cloud resources. As mentioned in the release, developed in collaboration with VMware, the solution works closely with VMware vCloud Director and the VMware vCloud API to monitor application response times and apply business policies that can augment local resources with on-demand cloud-based resources.
"The solution uses F5’s advanced ADN technologies, including BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM), BIG-IP Global Traffic Manager (GTM), and BIG-IP’s unique iSessions WAN optimization capability. These products have been tightly integrated with VMware vCloud Director via the F5 iControl and VMware vCloud APIs. To seamlessly expand application capacity, the solution also relies on GemStone SQLFabric for distributed synchronization of database objects between the sites."
