Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Las soluciones de f5 BigIp las hemos utilizado principalmente sobre teams de balanceo de aplicaciones y de Cargas, ayudando a solventar consumo de direccionamiento IPv4 eficientiando el uso del recurso.

We have mainly used F5 BIG-IP solutions on application and load balancing equipment, helping to solve IPv4 address consumption and making efficient use of resources.

Likelihood to Recommend

Esencial en los temas de optimization[on de recurso como direccionamiento IP, robustecer seguridad, simoplificar aplicaciones.

Essential in resource optimization topics such as IP addressing, strengthening security, simplifying applications

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

El producto F5 lo utilizamos como balanceador tanto para servicios expuestos a internet como uso interno, esto por que se necesitaba tener una solucion que nos optimizara la forma de tratar el trafico y proteger de cualquier ataque.

We use the F5 BIG-IP product as a load balancer for both Internet-facing services and internal use. This is because we needed a solution that would optimize the way we handled traffic and protect against any attacks.

Likelihood to Recommend

Como balanceador de carga funciona bien y tambien a la hora de limitar conexiones en el cual una vez se detecto un ataque donde se monitoreo conexiones masivas y este los limito de forma exitosa en el servidor.

As a load balancer it works well and also when limiting connections in which once an attack was detected where massive connections were monitored and it successfully limited them on the server

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Utilizamos F5 como Balanceador de carga y equipo de seguridad en el front end de algunas plataformas. Los problemas actuales son la falta de visibilidad (telemetria) para la identification de problemas y fallas a nivel aplicativo.

We use F5 BIG-IP as a load balancer and security device on the front end of some platforms. The current challenges are a lack of visibility (telemetry) to identify problems and failures at the application level.

Likelihood to Recommend

En resolucion de dominos a nivel politica AFM para establecer permisos y reglas especificas. Deben mejorar la visibilidad en Las graficas de AVR y Analiticos, actualmente no es granular, lo que no ayuda mucho en escenarios onde hay que identificar comportamientos inusuales.

In domain resolution at the AFM policy level to establish specific permissions and rules.

Visibility in the AVR and Analytics charts should be improved; currently, it is not granular, which is not very helpful in scenarios where unusual behavior needs to be identified.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Actualmente lo utilizamos como un balanceador en el cual nos ayuda a distribuir las conexiones en multiples servicios. Nos sirve para no sobrecargar el back-end de nuestra infraestructura y podes publicar una misma IP y servicio al resto de los usuarios. No teniendo que preocuparnos redirigiendo todas las conexiones a un mismo equipo.

We currently use it as a load balancer, helping us distribute connections across multiple services. It helps us avoid overloading our infrastructure's back-end and allows us to publish the same IP address and service to other users. We don't have to worry about redirecting all connections to the same computer.

Likelihood to Recommend

Es adecuado en el balanceo de cargas lo que permite no estresar los servidores que se encuentran en el backend y da la posibilidad de poder reducir la multiplicidad de conexiones en caso de que sea necesaria de esta manera un problema de multiples conexiones puede ser detenido antes de que afecte infraestructura critica.

It is suitable for load balancing, which allows not to stress the servers that are in the backend and gives the possibility of being able to reduce the multiplicity of connections if necessary. In this way, a problem of multiple connections can be stopped before it affects critical infrastructure.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using F5 BIG-IP for our load balancing and it gives us granular control over traffic routing and health monitoring. We have better visibility of traffic now. It also supports active - standby and active - active failover modes. This ensures that our traffic disruption is kept to minimal.

Likelihood to Recommend

A well suited scenario to use F5 BIG-IP will be for Financial institutions operating across multiple regions. Big IP provides high availability and advanced load balancing. For scenarios where F5 BIG-IP is not appropriate will be for small startup with a low budget and do not have the capability to manage the system.
