June 30, 2014 (The Internet) Today F5 Networks, which delivers solutions for an application world, announced it had completed jumping through the hoops necessary to offer an hourly (utility) billing model for its BIG-IP VE (Virtual Edition) in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. 

Not only has F5 announced availability of the industry's leading application delivery services for deployment in AWS with a utility billing model, but the offering includes a variety of options which organizations can take advantage of:

• Three sizes of BIG-IP VE including 25 Mbps, 200 Mbps and 1Gbps.
• Two BYOL (Bring Your Own License) options as well as a modular option
• A free 30 day trial offering with Best licensing and 200 Mbps of throughput

BIG-IP VE for AWS includes not only the industry's most trusted load balancing service but also the following capabilities and Software Defined Application Services (SDAS) designed to protect and enhance application security and performance:

1. An integrated WAF (Web Application Firewall)
2. DDoS Protection
3. Caching, compression and acceleration
4. Advanced Load Balancing Algorithms including least connections and weighted round robin.
