F5 Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV), today released the results of its
second annual State of Application Delivery customer survey.
Expanded to include feedback from more than 3,000 customers

applications successfully, how they keep data and users secure, and
how hybrid cloud, software-defined networking (SDN), and DevOps are
changing IT. In addition, F5 executives will host a series of live
panel sessions and a webinar that will offer attendees deeper
insights into the data. The first live panel session is on January
28, 2016, and will be hosted by F5’s CTO and EVP of product

Survey Highlights
This year’s report goes bigger and broader with input from F5
customers in the Americas (AMER); Europe, the Middle East, and
Africa (EMEA); and Asia-Pacific (APAC) regions. A variety of
industries are represented, with the widest participation from
customers in finance, technology, telecom companies, and government
entities. Key takeaways include:
- Application services are essential
and pervasive: Ten or more application services are used by
well over half of respondents, who recognize that slow,
unresponsive, and unsecured applications can have a substantial
negative impact on revenue and operations.
- Hybrid cloud is the new normal:
The vast majority of respondents (81 percent) are moving toward a
hybrid cloud environment to leverage the flexibility and potential
cost savings it offers, especially for small and mid-sized
organizations.
- Security focus is on protecting
users, data, and applications: Security professionals who have
the highest level of confidence in their ability to ward off
attacks are protecting clients, requests, and responses—the
critical points at which data can be easily compromised.
- DevOps and SDN are key to improving
operational efficiency: Because DevOps and SDN enable
automation and orchestration, they are both seen as key factors for
reducing operating costs and improving time to market.
“Applications are vital to business success. Used by every
employee, applications contribute to greater efficiency, lower
costs, and increased margins,” said Triebes. “Without the correct
services to support applications, they won’t be available, secure,
or fast enough to meet companies’ needs. The results of this year’s
State of Application Delivery survey offer valuable insights into
how customers are managing and implementing their application
services within dynamic and complex IT environments.”
