| HONG KONG, JUNE 18, 2008 – F5 Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIV), the global leader in Application Delivery Networking, today announced that its VIPRION™ solution was honored with a “Best of Show” award in the “Network Infrastructure for Large Companies” category at Interop Tokyo 2008, held June 11–13 at the Makuhari Messe convention center. The recipients of the prestigious “Best of Show” awards are selected from the products and services of over 300 companies exhibiting at Interop Tokyo 2008. They are chosen after an intensive judging process synthesizing input from a panel of IT experts and conference attendees. Five products were short-listed in the “Network Infrastructure for Large Companies” category, and VIPRION captured the Silver Medal award. “We’re extremely proud to have VIPRION recognized at such a high-profile industry event,” said Linda Hui, Managing Director of F5 Networks in Hong Kong and Taiwan. “VIPRION provides a powerful and scalable platform with best-in-class security, optimization, and availability, enabling enterprises and service providers to implement a sustainable Application Delivery Networking growth strategy, and we have been communicating this to our partners, mobile operators, and Telecommunication companies in Hong Kong. They are really excited about this product, as it can prepare them for the growth of internet, bandwidth and number of users, especially those websites with high traffic, e.g. media websites. This on-demand product is simple to manage, easy to scale and time efficient for installation.” VIPRION is a revolutionary bladed system that consolidates networking and security functionality, processing power, load balancing, and application delivery service virtualization into a shared, highly scalable chassis. Unlike other Application Delivery Controller (ADC) platforms, performance blades can be added on-demand as network environments and applications require increased processing power. As blades are added, management of the device remains simple, since all blades operate together in a unified solution. This flexibility enables businesses to extend performance to meet their business needs without adding management complexity. And individual blades can be installed or removed without network disruption, as VIPRION automatically reroutes traffic to the other blades. VIPRION was released to market in early 2008. The system’s revolutionary chassis and blade architecture extends the power of F5’s BIG-IP® product family, and is an ideal solution for enterprises and service providers seeking to scale their infrastructure while keeping device configuration and management simple. Due to VIPRION’s industry-leading ADC performance, the solution is also ideal for companies seeking to leverage next-generation networking capabilities such as IPTV, VoIP, and other Web 2.0 technologies.
