Return on Investment
- Along with some deployment orchestration (thanks, F5 Dev Central!), the F5 platform has allowed for rolling code deployment in our environment, meaning zero production downtime.
- Using the "Best" license level (along with the features that come with it) checks a LOT of boxes on the PCI Compliance SAQ.
- We don't panic about zero-day vulnerabilities anymore. F5 has our back.

- Load balancing is a requirement in most serious web environments, and this allows us to keep sites up and running in the event of partial server outages.
- Keeping sites extra secured with the advanced security and routing features is a plus.
