F5 announced on the 14th that it has launched a new PoP for distributed cloud services in Korea. The service is intended for domestic companies. F5 said the new hub will support application protection and reliable delivery across cloud, on-premises, and edge environments.
According to F5, the PoP uses an interconnection model with a dedicated redundant private backbone. The backbone is characterized by extensive peering and transit connections.
Based on this, it provides high-performance connectivity through direct connections across cloud providers, enterprise environments, and telecommunications networks. The company said this structure allows latency-sensitive workloads to run closer to users.
The company also said it can distribute traffic efficiently and extend application delivery and security services across cloud, edge, and on-premises environments.
Lee Hyung-wook, head of F5 Korea, said domestic companies are accelerating digital transformation across cloud, edge, and on-premises environments, and that the capabilities enterprises need go beyond simple visibility. He said consistent security and policy enforcement are needed regardless of where applications run, and added that F5 Distributed Cloud Services support organizations in achieving those goals and improving operational trust amid a rapidly changing security threat landscape.
F5 Distributed Cloud Services provide routing, load balancing, multi-layer application security, and integrated functions. Based on a globally distributed architecture, the service supports consistent security across environments and enables integrated operational management.
Each PoP integrates multi-layer security, which helps reduce latency, strengthen data sovereignty, and reliably protect applications and infrastructure. It also combines global DDoS defense and advanced network security with automated traffic management through dynamic DNS configuration.
Adam Judd, senior vice president for Asia Pacific, China, and Japan at F5, said the expansion of F5's global network into Korea supports customers in meeting data sovereignty and regulatory requirements and in delivering secure, high-performance digital services. He added that the investment underscores a continued commitment to helping customers simplify operations and to supporting consistent security and connectivity across their entire application estate.
