F5 and MinIO: A New Era of Data Management for AI Applications

Secure, fast, and reliable connectivity is paramount in a world where data and applications are spread across multiple environments (on-prem, hybrid/multicloud, and edge).

Data gravity is becoming crucial in processing and analyzing data closest to the compute resources. The F5 and MinIO solution shines here by enabling secure, performant connectivity for AI model training, retrieval augmentation, and inference. F5 Distributed Cloud Customer Edge (CE) deployed across multiple MinIO locations facilitates seamless data mobility and breaks down data silos.

This is complemented by built-in web and API security services (F5 Distributed Cloud WAAP, which includes a web application firewall (WAF), bot management, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) prevention, and API discovery and security), ensuring that data is mobile and secure, which are critical for protecting S3 endpoints. These capabilities are especially beneficial for organizations looking to harness the power of distributed data without compromising on security.
