Learn how using F5 BIG-IP in virtual environments can facilitate migrations to other platforms. In networks where platforms are connected at Layer2 this can be a hitless transition. Use the same configuration and policies on BIG-IP regardless of the platform and environment to uniformly deliver your highly-available application workloads.

See how running a highly-available (HA) pair of BIG-IPs in VMware can be copied to Nutanix and RedHat OpenShift Virtualization. Using a manually triggered failover, the application workload is delivered from the other BIG-IP without interruption.
