Oracle Fusion Middleware

Oracle Fusion Middleware provides the foundation for enterprises to align business with IT.  It offers the ability to build services modeled on business functions, reuse, and orchestration of common, loosely coupled services. It combines these services with the agility associated with modular services, all built on recognized standards.

F5's Application Ready Solutions for Oracle Fusion Middleware include Identity Management, SOA, WebCenter, and WebLogic Application Server. F5 provides a unique and comprehensive application delivery platform that greatly enhances the productivity and agility of both the Oracle applications and the organizations that rely on them.

Why do I need F5 for my Oracle Fusion Middleware deployment?

F5 is a worldwide Oracle Partner, a member of Oracle Partner Network (OPN), and works closely with Oracle on the development and refinement of joint solutions including their Maximum Availability Architecture (MAA).
