Virtual Data Center Maturity Model

F5 has built a VDC Maturity Model that clusters virtualization technologies into five distinct phases. This easy-to-use planning tool can help you assess where your data center is today, how your specific virtualization technologies map to this level, and you can how to move to the next level. To learn more, read the article: 
Growing into the Virtual Data Center: The VDC Maturity Model.




Preparing for Virtualization

When preparing to adopt a virtualization strategy, you must ask, "how is my network and storage infrastructure ready to support virtualization?"  Just as in a traditional server environment, in the virtual environment F5 products help you reap the highest ROI in your data center architecture by increasing performance for applications running on VMware and help you maximize existing resources.  As a member of VMware's Technology Alliance Partner (TAP) Program, F5 is taking advantage of VMware testing software and technical support to develop integrated solutions that will help you maximize these full benefits of running your applications in a virtualized environment. To learn more, visit F5 at VMworld 2008 booth #956.
