Your options to replace F5 iSeries (before end of support forces your hand)
The F5 iSeries has been dependable infrastructure for years. Stable. Predictable. Deeply embedded in production.
But as F5 iSeries approaches end of support (EOS) at the end of the year, this stops being a lifecycle milestone and becomes a strategic decision point.
Will Upgrading to F5 rSeries Improve my Quantum Resilience?
When sufficiently powerful machines arrive, today’s encryption standards – RSA, ECC, and others – will be rendered obsolete. The UK’s National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) has already set a 2028 milestone for all of us to complete cryptographic inventories and prepare for post-quantum migration. For many, one of the most strategic steps towards quantum resilience is already on the roadmap for F5 customers: upgrading from iSeries to rSeries.
