Partner POV | NGINX One: SaaS control to optimize, scale, and secure modern apps, Kubernetes clusters, API communications, and AI inference across diverse environments

NGINX One takes NGINX technology and streamlines, simplifies, and improves user experiences when buying, managing, securing, observing, and governing all NGINX components at scale. With NGINX One, you can utilize any NGINX component for any environment with a single agreement, plus the flexibility to adjust your mix of components as needs change. A new management plane, accessible via API or SaaS, reduces complexity and addresses common pain points through actionable insights and recommendations.

Customers get a unified management plane with NGINX One to manage, secure, and observe any NGINX instance across all environments. It simplifies configuration, offers real-time performance monitoring, and enhances security with common vulnerabilities and exposure (CVE) prioritization and configurations. NGINX One streamlines and automates policy enforcement and compliance, and the clustering feature allows specific configurations for security or role-based groups.

NGINX One SaaS console

The NGINX One unified management plane facilitates collaboration with Platform Ops and SecOps teams, keeping everyone on the same page for all metrics and statuses.

• Instance discovery. Discover all NGINX instances running in the enterprise and programmatically observe and verify instance status. Automate
• Management. Tune application performance across different environments
• by automating configuration and updates, reducing errors, and speeding
• up update deployments.
• Observability. Gain detailed real-time insights into the health, security, status, and performance level of all NGINX instances.
• Policy distribution. Quickly deploy and automatically enforce security policies, including common vulnerabilities and exposures, patching, configuration, and certificate rotations.

NGINX One core data plane

The core data plane encompasses F5® NGINX Plus®, NGINX® Open Source NGINX Unit®, and the Kubernetes solutions NGINX® Gateway Fabric and NGINX® Ingress Controller.

• API gateway. Use NGINX load-balancing features to complement existing hardware application delivery controllers or replace them altogether.
• Caching. Cache static and dynamic content from your proxied web and application servers to speed delivery to clients and reduce the server load.
• Load balancing. Load balance HTTP traffic across web or application server groups, with several algorithms and advanced features, including slow-start and session persistence
• Policy enforcement. Unify and centralize security policy enforcement and integrate strong security controls across distributed environments without slowing release velocity or hurting performance. 

NGINX One security

NGINX One includes lightweight, high-performance security that protects APIs and modern apps. Available at a premium tier, F5® NGINX® App Protect WAF enforces, automates, and scales your app and API security across distributed architectures and hybrid environments. F5® NGINX® App Protect DoS defends against automated Layer 7 denial-of-service attacks aiming to degrade your application experience or availability.

NGINX One is the next step in the evolution of NGINX technology that improves the end-to-end experience across buying, managing, optimizing, and governing NGINX components across complex, hybrid multi-cloud environments. Whether you're new to NGINX or a longtime user, NGINX One is an essential solution for your application delivery.
