F5, the global leader in delivering and securing every app and API, today announced new capabilities for F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes accelerated with NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs and the NVIDIA DOCA software framework, underscored by customer Sesterce's validation deployment. Sesterce is a leading European operator specializing in next-generation infrastructures and sovereign AI, designed to meet the needs of accelerated computing and artificial the F5 Application Delivery and Security Platform, BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes running natively on NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs delivers high-performance traffic management and security for large-scale AI infrastructure, unlocking greater efficiency, control, and performance for AI applications. In tandem with the compelling performance advantages announced along with general availability earlier this year, Sesterce has successfully completed validation of the F5 and NVIDIA solution across a number of key capabilities, including the following areas: - Enhanced performance, multi-tenancy, and security to meet cloud-grade expectations, initially showing a 20% improvement in GPU utilization. - Integration with NVIDIA Dynamo and KV Cache Manager to reduce latency for the reasoning of large language model ( LLM ) inference systems and optimization of GPUs and memory resources. - Smart LLM routing on BlueField DPUs, running effectively with NVIDIA NIM microservices for workloads requiring multiple models, providing customers the best of all available models. - Scaling and securing Model Context Protocol ( MCP ) including reverse proxy capabilities and protections for more scalable and secure LLMs, enabling customers to swiftly and safely utilize the power of MCP servers. - Powerful data programmability with robust F5 iRules capabilities, allowing rapid customization to support AI applications and evolving security requirements. 'Integration between F5 and NVIDIA was enticing even before we conducted any tests,' said Youssef El Manssouri, CEO and Co-Founder at Sesterce. 'Our results underline the benefits of F5's dynamic load balancing with high-volume Kubernetes ingress and egress in AI environments. This approach empowers us to more efficiently distribute traffic and optimize the use of our GPUs while allowing us to bring additional and unique value to our customers. We are pleased to see F5's support for a growing number of NVIDIA use cases, including enhanced multi-tenancy, and we look forward to additional innovation between the companies in supporting next-generation AI infrastructure.' Highlights of new solution capabilities include: LLM Routing and Dynamic Load Balancing with BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes With this collaborative solution, simple AI-related tasks can be routed to less expensive, lightweight LLMs in supporting generative AI while reserving advanced models for complex queries. This level of customizable intelligence also enables routing functions to leverage domain-specific LLMs, improving output quality and significantly enhancing customer experiences. F5's advanced traffic management ensures queries are sent to the most suitable LLM, lowering latency and improving time to first token. 'Enterprises are increasingly deploying multiple LLMs to power advanced AI experiences—but routing and classifying LLM traffic can be compute-heavy, degrading performance and user experience,' said Kunal Anand, Chief Innovation Officer at F5. 'By programming routing logic directly on NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs, F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes is the most efficient approach for delivering and securing LLM traffic. This is just the beginning. Our platform unlocks new possibilities for AI infrastructure, and we're excited to deepen co-innovation with NVIDIA as enterprise AI continues to scale.' Optimizing GPUs for Distributed AI Inference at Scale with NVIDIA Dynamo and KV Cache Integration Earlier this year, NVIDIA Dynamo was introduced , providing a supplementary framework for deploying generative AI and reasoning models in large-scale distributed environments. NVIDIA Dynamo streamlines the complexity of running AI inference in distributed environments by orchestrating tasks like scheduling, routing, and memory management to ensure seamless operation under dynamic workloads. Offloading specific operations from CPUs to BlueField DPUs is one of the core benefits of the combined F5 and NVIDIA solution. With F5, the Dynamo KV Cache Manager feature can intelligently route requests based on capacity, using Key-Value (KV) caching to accelerate generative AI use cases by speeding up processes based on retaining information from previous operations (rather than requiring resource-intensive recomputation). From an infrastructure perspective, organizations storing and reusing KV cache data can do so at a fraction of the cost of using GPU memory for this purpose. 'BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes accelerated with NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs gives enterprises and service providers a single point of control for efficiently routing traffic to AI factories to optimize GPU efficiency and to accelerate AI traffic for data ingestion, model training, inference, RAG, and agentic AI,' said Ash Bhalgat, Senior Director of AI Networking and Security Solutions, Ecosystem and Marketing at NVIDIA. 'In addition, F5's support for multi-tenancy and enhanced programmability with iRules continue to provide a platform that is well-suited for continued integration and feature additions such as support for NVIDIA Dynamo Distributed KV Cache Manager.' Improved Protection for MCP Servers with F5 and NVIDIA Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open protocol developed by Anthropic that standardizes how applications provide context to LLMs. Deploying the combined F5 and NVIDIA solution in front of MCP servers allows F5 technology to serve as a reverse proxy, bolstering security capabilities for MCP solutions and the LLMs they support. In addition, the full data programmability enabled by F5 iRules promotes rapid adaptation and resilience for fast-evolving AI protocol requirements, as well as additional protection against emerging cybersecurity risks. 'Organizations implementing agentic AI are increasingly relying on MCP deployments to improve the security and performance of LLMs,' said Greg Schoeny, SVP, Global Service Provider at World Wide Technology. 'By bringing advanced traffic management and security to extensive Kubernetes environments, F5 and NVIDIA are delivering integrated AI feature sets—along with programmability and automation capabilities—that we aren't seeing elsewhere in the industry right now.' F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes deployed on NVIDIA BlueField-3 DPUs is generally available now.

Poco F7 Set to Launch in India on June 24 with Big Battery and Fast Chip
The Poco F7 will launch in India on June 24, 2025. Before the official launch, new leaks have shared some important details, including the possible price. A well-known source, Yogesh Brar, says the phone might cost between ₹30,000 and ₹35,000. Poco has not confirmed this yet, but the price matches what they charged for earlier models like the F6, F5, and F4. Poco usually sells its F-series phones as fast and powerful models at lower prices. Since other brands like iQOO and OnePlus also have strong phones under ₹35,000, Poco is likely to keep the F7 affordable. Battery and Charging The Poco F7 phone is already listed on Flipkart. One features that is making people talk about this phone is its huge 7,550mAh battery. Being touted as one of the biggest battery ever in an Indian smartphone, Poco says the battery can last for more than 2 days with normal use. The phone uses new battery technology called silicon-carbon, which helps it support 90W fast charging. It also has 22.5W reverse charging, meaning you can use it to charge other devices like a power bank. If this is true, the Poco F7 will overtake phones like the iQOO Z10 and Vivo T4 in terms of battery size. But it's still not clear if the phone will feel heavy or bulky because of the big battery. Speed and Performance The Poco F7 is expected to come with the new Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 processor by Qualcomm. A test on Geekbench (a website for phone speed scores) shows the phone may have this chip and 12GB of RAM in one version. This chip is made for fast performance. In tests, it seems to work almost as well as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, which is found in top-end phones. The Snapdragon 8s Gen 4 focuses more on multi-core speed, meaning it can handle many apps or tasks at once. But since it skips small energy-saving cores, it may not save as much battery. If Poco keeps the price around ₹30,000, this phone could be one of the fastest in its price range. Display, Storage, and Camera The Poco F7 might actually be a rebranded version of the Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which came out in China. If that's true, the F7 will have a 6.83-inch AMOLED screen, 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and IP68 rating, which means it's water and dust resistant. The phone may offer up to 1TB of storage and 16GB of RAM. For photos, the leaks say it could have a 50MP main camera, an 8MP wide-angle camera, and a 20MP front camera for selfies and video calls. Final Thoughts With the launch happening soon, fans will find out how much of this is true. If the price and features are as good as the leaks suggest, the Poco F7 could be a great option for anyone looking for a powerful phone at a mid-range price.
