A U.S.-based defense contractor manages IT operations for a federal agency that provides geospatial intelligence services. The contractor needed to ensure high availability and reliability for the intelligence data, so it chose to replace the infrastructure’s aging load balancers with Application Delivery Controllers (ADCs) from F5. Using the F5 solution, the contractor simplified IT management and boosted application performance by as much as 300 percent. Furthermore, the contractor capitalized on the capabilities of F5 devices to accomplish a massive data center consolidation for the agency.

The Democratic National Convention Committee (DNCC), which is responsible for planning and hosting the Democratic National Convention, chose a Tier 1 service provider to host its website, which included live event coverage September 4–6, 2012. Months prior, the site was launched in the provider’s public cloud, but later, in anticipation of high traffic volume during convention week, the site was moved to a private cloud. To ensure 100 percent reliability, availability, and response time, the DNCC turned to F5. Within weeks, F5 built, tested, and deployed a traffic management solution that integrated easily with the existing infrastructure and met all of the DNCC’s expectations for performance and availability.

A large U.S. federal agency was faced with high maintenance costs and sluggish performance of its customer-facing web portal. Multiple point solutions deployed to support the portal had made the infrastructure complex, expensive, and difficult to manage—and it still failed to deliver the performance and reliability the agency needed. After deploying an F5 solution, performance improved dramatically, and with a simplified infrastructure, the agency was able to save hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual support and training costs. The solution provides multi-site failover capability, further boosting the agency’s ability to meet the needs of constituents.

One agency chose to replace its existing in-house messaging system with Google’s Gmail cloud-based solution. To ensure security, the agency wanted to keep user authentication and provisioning in house. Having successfully used F5 BIG-IP solutions to manage traffic across two data centers, the agency decided to take advantage of the advanced features and strategic placement of its BIG-IP devices in the network. Today, the agency uses BIG-IP solutions to provide on-premises user authentication for its cloud-based Gmail solution as well as other outward-facing systems.
