Consulting OnDemand

Get fast access to F5’s Professional Services Team

Often projects that are smaller in scope need quick access to an F5 Consultant to assist with design issues, configuration changes, or just to validate your implementation plans. With their extensive experience and knowledge of F5 products, our consultants can help you with these smaller, fast-turnaround requests.

The F5 Consulting OnDemand service is designed to handle a request within one to two business days and is currently available only in North America. The scope of the project should be less than 16 hours in duration and is billed at an hourly rate of $350.00 USD. Projects that are estimated longer than 16 hours will be handled as a custom statement of work-driven engagement, subject to current lead times (usually 2-3 weeks).
