Story
Inside Alignment Healthcare, application delivery used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in health care groups working out of the United States. Network and app owners needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Alignment Healthcare uses Shape Security from F5 as the working layer for application traffic. F5 provides application delivery, security, and traffic management products used in front of enterprise applications. The practical change is simple: application delivery has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Alignment Healthcare gets from F5 is a durable place to run application delivery and a way for network and app owners to see the same application traffic at the same time.
