OlinOlin Modernizes Campus Networking with F5
Olin, a materials organization in the United States, uses F5 BIG-IP from F5 to support network operations for network engineers.
Value results
| Category | Value result |
|---|---|
| Capability | Named workflow replaces ad hoc routing for campus and branch networking |
| Capability | Network operations stays visible to adjacent teams through F5 BIG-IP |
| Capability | Network engineers work from the same F5 BIG-IP record for campus and branch networking |
Story
Olin grew campus and branch networking faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, materials teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Network engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out F5 BIG-IP put network operations on F5. F5 provides application delivery, security, and traffic management products used in front of enterprise applications. Olin keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so network engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier network operations. Campus and branch networking is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join network engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
