Resilient Application Performance and Optimization for Banking Systems
F5 solutions help ensure applications and channels for banking and business lines are fast, available, and provide a compelling customer experience.
Millions of banking transactions are made every day with the expectation of security and reliability. Banks rely on critical systems to keep the business running, and to provide quality service for business partners and customers, who want online, mobile, and integrated access through multiple channels. Adding to the demand is the pressure on banks’ IT departments to meet ever-increasing government regulations. Thus, banking systems must provide high availability, multi-layered security, and reporting.
F5 solutions help coordinate multiple systems to maximize infrastructure efficiency and availability. Banking organizations can easily build and maintain a globally dispersed and optimized environment that delivers fast performance and maximum uptime. And F5 products help keep those highly available systems replicated, or backed up, to guard against data loss in a disaster, or to spread load across numerous geographic locations.
“ Whether delivering or deploying new applications to service our clients, F5 is the only solution that our management and engineers have confidence in using.”
