F5 Networks (NASDAQ: FFIV) today announced an award received at

number of solution downloads, indicating breadth of use throughout
the industry.
“VMware’s Cloud Management Marketplace is designed to make it
even easier for organizations to find and learn about third-party
products and technologies, supported by solutions from our
extensive vendor and partner community,” said Wayne Greene, Senior

solutions available from 60-plus partners. Customers enjoy the
ability to extend the management and orchestration capabilities of
their deployments, with access to integrated vendor and partner
solutions in a one-stop shop. We’re pleased to recognize the F5
Networks Management Plug-in for vCenter Orchestrator with the

provisioning, and automatic system maintenance and patching. This

“Our priority is to make flexible, programmable Software Defined
Application Services™ available to organizations regardless of the
physical and virtual components they choose for their
infrastructures,” said Calvin Rowland, VP, Business Development,
