News about F5

F5 announced that Telenor AI Factory has selected F5 BIG-IP Next for Kubernetes as an intelligent AI service plane for its NVIDIA-powered sovereign AI infrastructure. The solution is designed to help Norwegian and European organizations access secure, high-performance AI services while keeping control over where data is processed, stored and accessed, with secure multi-tenancy, policy-based traffic control and real-time observability. Telenor plans to add token-aware governance and inference-aware traffic optimization as its commercial AI services scale. CEO Kaaren Hilsen said sovereignty must extend to how AI services are operated and governed, not just where infrastructure sits.
