解决方案简介|为5G做好准备
The F5 BIG-IP platform offers a rich portfolio of products and solutions for immediate deployment in NFV environments. For completely or partially virtualized networks migrating only certain network elements as virtual network functions (VNFs), the F5 portfolio of BIG-IP products supports both virtual editions (VEs – the F5 name for VNFs), as well as purpose-built hardware platforms. VNFs available on the BIG-IP platform include virtual firewall, virtual Gi LAN/N6, virtual application delivery controllers, virtual policy manager, virtual DNS and more. To enable the transformation to a 5G-ready infrastructure, F5 can support the migration from a centralized deployment in the data center cloud to one that is distributed at the edge, like a multi-access edge compute (MEC) platform. Applications are moving closer to the network edge. The MEC environment needs to provide significantly reduced network packet latency and jitter for the applications hosted in the new environment. F5 is well positioned to support data center-like functionality in the MEC environment as it is similar to traditional IT and managed service provider (MSP) functions. F5 offers core services such as firewall, traffic optimization, transport layer security (TLS) and encryption offload in the new high-performance, distributed MEC environment - see figure 2. F5’s solutions work closely together to achieve this edge migration – for example, the F5 VNF Manager* provides lifecycle management, configuration management, autoscaling and auto-healing for F5 VNFs for easy management, deployment or withdrawal of VNFs from the infrastructure. Once VNFs are deployed by the VNF Manager, BIG-IQ* automatically allocates licenses so the VNFs can perform their function in the MEC platform. F5 also has automation toolkits – e.g. cloud templates, declarative on-boarding scripts, and a specially-developed declarative application service AS3*, as well as telemetry streaming to applications like Splunk*, which generate statistics on the performance of the VNFs in the MEC platform. Figure 3 illustrates how a large North American CoSP is using BIG-IP VEs in both its core and edge network. In the 5G Core, the BIG-IP VE is providing DNS caching, security, GI firewall and carrier-grade network address translation (NAT) functions. Solution Brief | Get Ready for 5G
