Enhancing the protection and performance of
enterprise AI inference solutions with F5 NGINX Plus, Intel
OpenVINO, and Intel IPUs
F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV) today announced it is bringing robust
application security and delivery capabilities to AI deployments
powered by Intel. This new joint solution combines industry-leading
security and traffic management from F5’s NGINX Plus offering with
the cutting-edge optimization and performance of the Intel
Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit and Infrastructure Processing
Units (IPUs) to deliver superior protection, scalability, and
performance for advanced AI inference.
As organizations increasingly adopt AI to power intelligent
applications and workflows, efficient and secure AI inference
becomes critical. This need is addressed by combining the OpenVINO
toolkit—which optimizes and accelerates AI model inference—with F5
NGINX Plus, providing robust traffic management and security.
The OpenVINO toolkit simplifies the optimization of models from
almost any framework to enable a write-once, deploy-anywhere
approach. This toolkit is essential for developers aiming 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 performance.
To further boost performance, Intel IPUs offload infrastructure
services from the host CPU, freeing up resources for AI model
servers. The IPUs efficiently manage infrastructure tasks, opening
up resources to enhance the scalability and performance of both
NGINX Plus and OpenVINO™ Model Servers (OVMS).
This integrated solution is particularly beneficial for edge
applications, such as video analytics and IoT, where low latency
and high performance are crucial. By running NGINX Plus on the
Intel IPU, the solution helps ensure rapid and reliable responses,
making it ideal for content delivery networks and distributed
microservices deployments.
“Teaming up with Intel empowers us to push the boundaries of AI
deployment. This collaboration highlights our commitment to driving
innovation and delivers a secure, reliable, and scalable AI
inference solution that will enable enterprises to securely deliver
AI services at speed. Our combined solution ensures that
organizations can harness the power of AI with superior performance
and security,” said Kunal Anand, Chief Technology Officer at
F5.
“Leveraging the cutting-edge infrastructure acceleration of
Intel IPUs and the OpenVINO toolkit alongside F5 NGINX Plus can
help enable enterprises to realize innovative AI inference
solutions with improved simplicity, security, and performance at
scale for multiple vertical markets and workloads,” said Pere
Monclus, Chief Technology Officer, Network and Edge Group of
Intel.
The solution is now available. For more information, visit
