F5 Networks and VMware Help BlueLock Launch Unique Virtual Cloud Computing Platform

October 2008 by Marc Jacob

F5 announced that BlueLock, LLC is using the F5® BIG-IP® Local Traffic Manager™ (LTM™) solution with VMware virtualization solutions to provide clients with its unique virtual cloud computing platform.

With virtual cloud computing, BlueLock delivers pre-configured, virtual IT environments that are secure, resilient, and scalable on-demand. Clients pay a monthly fee for the infrastructure they use plus a retainer for reserve capacity. When a client’s load increases, the virtual machines in reserve are seamlessly added to the client’s pool and the client is charged according to utilization. As needs decrease, virtual machines are removed and the client no longer incurs the expense of the additional capacity.

BlueLock chose BIG-IP LTM to provide load balancing and SSL offload for its entire virtualized infrastructure. In addition, BIG-IP LTM collects usage and traffic data that is essential to BlueLock’s provisioning algorithms. This data also provides detailed visibility into each client’s current network, systems, and capacity utilization, which is shared through BlueLock’s Vital Signs client portal.

To achieve high availability in a traditional IT environment, companies typically purchase the infrastructure required to handle the highest potential load they might reach at any time, and then pay ongoing operating expenses to maintain the infrastructure. With the BlueLock virtual cloud, clients avoid the time and expense involved in typical purchase-and-deploy scenarios and simply pay as they go.
