Understanding Scalable AI Deployments

Scaling AI requires a unified framework to navigate secure Next-Gen Application Delivery Controllers. For more than two decades, growing complexity has evolved the demands placed on ADCs. From hybrid and multicloud environments to AI-driven applications, a new approach is vital.

Below, you can use the F5 AI reference architecture to simplify planning for AI Web Apps, Microservices, and AI model foundry by breaking workflows into seven core blocks, providing guidance for security, traffic management, and platform optimization.
