Application fluency refers to the ability of an application delivery controller (ADC) to act as part of an integrated solution that understands and can manage both the network and the applications. As the application environment changes, the ADC can adjust the network to accommodate; likewise, with network changes and fluctuations, the ADC can manage application access, availability, and performance in real time.
F5 was the first networking vendor to introduce true application fluency, through our TMOS architecture using iRules. F5's unique Application Delivery Network provides users with application fluency across the data center, LAN, and WAN.
