F5 and Intel collaboration simplifies the security and delivery of AI services
F5 has announced that it is bringing application security and delivery capabilities to AI deployments powered by Intel.
www.newelectronics.co.uk, Aug. 28, 2024 –
This is a new joint solution that combines security and traffic management from F5's NGINX Plus offering with the optimisation and performance of the Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit and Infrastructure Processing Units (IPUs) providing improved levels of protection, scalability, and performance for advanced AI inference.
With more organisations adopting AI to power intelligent applications and workflows, efficient and secure AI inference is becoming more critical.
This is addressed by combining the OpenVINO toolkit - which optimises and accelerates AI model inference - with F5 NGINX Plus, providing both traffic management and security.
The OpenVINO toolkit simplifies the optimisation of models from almost any framework to enable a write-once, deploy-anywhere approach and enables developers to create scalable and efficient AI solutions with minimal code changes.
F5 NGINX Plus enhances the security and reliability of these AI models. Acting as a reverse proxy, NGINX Plus manages traffic, ensures high availability, and provides active health checks. It also facilitates SSL termination and mTLS encryption, safeguarding communications between applications and AI models without compromising on performance.
