Collaboration bolsters generative AI
capabilities with advanced data management and secure multicloud
networking services for RAG integration
F5 (NASDAQ: FFIV) and NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) today announced an
expanded collaboration to accelerate and streamline enterprise AI
capabilities using secure multicloud networking solutions from F5
and NetApp’s suite of data management solutions. This collaboration
leverages F5 Distributed Cloud Services to streamline the use of
large language models (LLMs) across hybrid cloud environments. By
integrating F5’s secure multicloud networking with NetApp’s data
management, enterprises can implement Retrieval Augmented
Generation (RAG) solutions efficiently and securely, enhancing the
performance, security, and utility of their AI systems.
As enterprises increasingly adopt AI technologies, the need for
accurate and contextually relevant information becomes crucial—and
that’s where RAG comes in. RAG is an artificial intelligence
technique that combines retrieval-based and generation-based
approaches to improve the quality and relevance of responses by
securely incorporating relevant, often proprietary, documents or
information from a large dataset into the generated answers without
exposing them to public large language models. RAG integrates the
most recent, relevant data into AI responses. This ensures that AI
models can deliver precise and context-specific answers.
RAG is quickly becoming a popular architecture among customers,
but the fragmented distribution of enterprise data often forms
silos, complicating integration with LLMs. F5 and NetApp solve this
problem by providing secure access to private data from any
location and facilitating data transfers for migrations and
mobility. The combined solution significantly reduces the
complexity of managing hybrid and multicloud infrastructure. By
using F5 Distributed Cloud Services and NetApp BlueXP, customers
can unify the operational models for data management, security, and
networking, contributing to cost reduction and achieving multicloud
RAG to support innovative AI projects.
“F5 is accelerating enterprise AI adoption by integrating our
secure, high-performance multicloud networking capabilities with
NetApp’s robust data management solutions. This powerful
collaboration unlocks the potential of RAG, seamlessly blending
enterprise data with foundational and frontier AI models,” said
Kunal Anand, Chief Technology and AI Officer at F5. “Our joint
solution transforms how businesses train LLMs by delivering
unparalleled high-speed performance and ironclad security, enabling
enterprises to harness AI’s capabilities within their unique
business contexts confidently. With F5 and NetApp, businesses can
now easily navigate the complexities of AI integration, turning
their data into a strategic asset that drives innovation and
competitive advantage.”
NetApp’s Cloud Volumes ONTAP optimizes cloud storage costs and
performance while enhancing data protection and compliance. This
solution, combined with F5’s networking capabilities, allows for
quick and secure data mobility, reducing overhead for IT
departments. Enterprises can migrate data effortlessly across zones
and regions, leveraging NetApp’s SnapMirror technology for data
mobility.
“Our collaboration with F5 helps address the complex challenges
of AI deployments in hybrid cloud environments. By combining
NetApp’s data management solutions with F5’s secure multicloud
networking technology, we are providing enterprises with a seamless
and secure way to manage, protect, and optimize their data to
deliver business-critical LLM applications. Our work together
supports businesses looking to leverage generative AI to drive
innovation and growth,” said Jonsi Stefansson, Chief Technology
Officer at NetApp.
