We have received feedback from our customers that they want a wide variety of licensing options through which they can consume F5 products and services, including but not limited to ADCs, and we are committed to enabling customers to purchase our services in ways that make the most sense for their businesses. In contrast to other ADC vendors in the market, F5 continues to offer a wide range of purchasing options to best meet the needs of each customer, including Perpetual Licensing, Term Subscriptions, our enterprise-wide agreement known as the Flex Consumption Program (FCP), and Utility (pay-as-you-go) selections. While that might be advantageous to some buyers, F5 believes that the best way to serve our diverse portfolio of customers is to offer a breadth of licensing options to support all different types of customer networking and acquisition requirements. Recently, there has been a move to offer a subscription-only model for Application Delivery Controller (ADC) offerings in the marketplace. When selecting and deploying IT solutions, organizations need a flexible range of consumption models to meet their ongoing requirements. How many different licensing models does it take to support a successful organization? Some would say that several options are preferable to plan for optimal growth.
