Subscribe to HYCU to Keep Your F5 BIG-IPs Healthy

As the COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus spreads around the world, companies are asking their workers to work remotely as a measure against the rapidly-spreading disease. People have been on lock down and it introduces different kinds of challenges for all of us. Remote work is at test on a global scale. As we personally have to adapt to social and communication challenges this new circumstance creates, many companies also find their infrastructure unprepared to support their employees working from home offices. Effective remote work requires communication and collaboration tools and remote access to company network and resources.

We observe some of our customers have had to upgrade their infrastructure to support this new remote work trend and allow their employees to connect to company network from remote locations. In many cases additional F5 BIG-IP devices need to be introduced to support the sudden load on VPN connections and applications for collaboration. F5 BIG-IP is typically first in line to process incoming users and its help in handling such increased loads on infrastructure is essential.

Keeping your F5 BIG-IP healthy

When your business is even more dependent on your infrastructure to support your employees to be able to do their work and drive business is paramount. An F5 BIG-IP device outage can prevent employees from connecting to company network and applications, which can have a catastrophic effect on business.

Best Practices for F5 BIG-IP Management in Remote Work Scenarios

1. Regular health checks and performance monitoring
2. Proactive capacity planning to handle increased loads
3. Implementing high availability configurations to prevent downtime
