The Confucius Institute expects its educational website content to grow from 200 GB to up to 5 TB before the end of 2009. To keep pace with content growth and support the dramatic increase in web traffic, the portal infrastructure needed to be revamped.
The F5(R) solutions deployed include VIPRION(R) at the Beijing headquarters and additional BIG-IP devices at four data centers across the globe for core application delivery functions. Along with BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager(TM) (LTM(TM)), BIG-IP Global Traffic Manager(TM) (GTM(TM)) is leveraged for location-based global traffic management, while the F5 ARX500 file virtualization device enables storage capacity optimization for the solution. By placing F5 devices at strategic points of control in the portal infrastructure, Confucius Institute can be sure that users are directed to the nearest, best-performing data center, creating an efficient CDN.
"Leveraging F5's proven application and data delivery technology to support a CDN enables us to accelerate, secure, and deliver content and services worldwide," said Guo Yizhou, Director of Network Division, Confucius Institute. "F5 technology provides a scalable application delivery platform that helps us pave the way for the future of Confucius Institute Online. With this CDN, we can provide high-quality services to audiences around the world who are interested in learning about China's language and culture. Delivering various education services and activities over this network enables our worldwide audiences to better understand and appreciate the various facets of modern China."
"We are pleased that F5 solutions have been selected to be key components of this impressive project," said Francis Zhang, General Manager of F5 Networks China. "Organizations of all size look to their technology investments to increase IT agility and add value. We're very pleased with the number of organizations -- including financial institutions, telecommunications and service providers, e-commerce sites, and more -- that continue to rely on F5 to support their business."
