F5 and NetApp partnership for Large Language Model AI deployments

F5 and NetApp have teamed up to improve enterprise AI capabilities by using F5’s secure multicloud networking solutions with NetApp’s data management tools. This partnership will focus on deploying large language models (LLMs) through Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques. 

F5 and NetApp are teaming up to solve the problem of managing complex business data across hybrid cloud environments--providing safe access and efficient data transfers. This will make it easier to manage data, security, and networking operations.
