Move to enhance AI application performance and safeguard data with post-quantum cryptography
F5 has announced an expanded collaboration with NetApp, the intelligent data infrastructure company, to drive high-performance AI data delivery and prepare enterprises for the post-quantum cryptography (PQC) era.
This builds on a long-standing collaboration between F5 and NetApp, and aims to address the increasing demand for secure, resilient, and scalable solutions for AI workloads and S3 storage environments.
The F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform (ADSP), paired with intelligent data infrastructure for AI built on NetApp technology, supports high-performance throughput and helps enterprises scale AI data delivery while defending against evolving cybersecurity threats, including those posed by quantum computing advancements.
Simplifying AI data delivery
“Our collaboration with NetApp is aimed at simplifying high-performance AI data delivery scenarios, while enabling customers to adopt post-quantum readiness incrementally. Through cutting-edge solutions for TLS 1.3, modern ciphers, and global traffic management, we are empowering organizations to scale infrastructure while fortifying data security,” explained John Maddison, Chief Marketing Officer, F5.
In addition, customers can use complementary PQC solutions from both F5 and NetApp to help address the growing risk posed by quantum computing advancements by offering state-of-the-art security measures to protect sensitive S3 data flows.
“By leveraging the latest innovations in NetApp StorageGRID with F5’s advanced traffic management and quantum-secure encryption technologies, customers can unlock the full potential of their AI workflows and protect critical data,” commented Spencer Sells, Vice President, Global Alliances, NetApp.
