Appliances that have reached their End of Technical Support (EoTS) and End of New Software Support (EoNSS) milestones are no longer supported by F5’s global support organisation and cannot be upgraded to run the latest, most secure versions of BIG-IP software.

With the recent launch of F5 rSeries – the next-gen, highly scalable F5 appliances, it’s the perfect time to consider an upgrade to mitigate end of lifecycle complications.

F5 rSeries is a fully rearchitected platform with a microservices-based architecture designed to support traditional and modern application environments, enabling faster time-to-market, unprecedented performance and advanced application protection. In addition, upgrading from legacy systems reduces your total cost of ownership by saving space, lowering power usage, and cutting administrative costs because of consolidation and improved reliability and capacity.

To take advantage of these benefits, we recommend moving to the latest appliance to keep your network and applications running faster, safer, and smarter. Explore the benefits of upgrading:
