The team-up will see Portkey.ai's AI gateway and observability suite integrate with F5 Distributed Cloud Services, enabling the intelligent, controlled deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) applications.
Through this alliance, the companies are set to revolutionise the deployment, administration, and oversight of LLM applications, offering businesses an unprecedented level of efficiency, reliability, and security in harnessing artificial intelligence. The partnership represents a merging of Portkey.ai's proficiencies in LLM deployment with F5's robust application delivery capabilities and state-of-the-art security measures.
A range of key benefits emanates from this collaboration between Portkey.ai and F5, including intelligent LLM orchestration, enabled by Portkey.ai's AI gateway. This feature cleverly routes API requests to the most suitable LLM backend based on its functionality, performance, and availability, thus ensuring optimum response quality and efficiency. Enterprises can also expect high availability and scalability as F5 Distributed Cloud Services' advanced load balancing and traffic management capabilities ensure the seamless distribution of workloads across multiple Portkey.ai instances, even during peak demand times.
Besides, the partnership promises automated failover and resilience through Portkey.ai's built-in failover mechanisms which automatically detect and reroute traffic to alternative LLM backends in case of any issues, guaranteeing uninterrupted service for enterprises. The observability suite of Portkey.ai also provides comprehensive observability and insights, offering valuable data on LLM performance, usage patterns, and application health that assists businesses to optimise their LLM deployments.
Portkey.ai's co-founder and CEO, Rohit Agarwal, expressed his excitement at the partnership with F5, describing it as a "significant milestone" in Portkey.ai's mission to provide enterprises with robust and controlled AI applications. He added, "By integrating F5's cutting-edge application security and delivery solutions with our AI gateway and observability suite, we are unlocking new possibilities for businesses to deploy and manage AI applications at scale.
