A: We have a 1 click migration tool to move f5 config over to the Edge platform so its painless and easy. (and mistake free!)
A: I-rules is cool – So is our traffic management solution flightpath, and of course it’s very easy to use. Check out this blog to see how its can compare
A: Don’t worry we partner with HPE and can offer 4h on site replacement for our hardware.
A: Yep – Click on the link below
A: We are on Azure, AWS, Google and we were one of the first on the VMware Cloud. We mitigate the cost and risks of cloud migration, and provide the intelligence to allow you to right size your cloud architecture. You can even transfer licences from our hardware or virtual appliances at no extra cost.
A: We’ve been around for 16 years and have thousands of customers that range from start-ups to mid-market, through to Global Enterprises and Public Sector organisations (e.g. Sony, Boeing, BA, NHS Trusts, Government and National Critical Infrastructure).
