F5 Deployments

Whether you need a fresh pair of BIG-IPs in a greenfield data centre or are migrating hundreds of devices to a new platform, The LBC has the experience to deliver. We handle architecture design, hardware sizing, VLAN and routing setup, virtual server configuration, pool and monitor creation, and full documentation handoffs.

Our approach prioritises uptime - every deployment is staged, tested, and rolled out with change-window discipline so your business never skips a beat.

  • Single-site to multi-DC deployments
  • HA pair and VLAN configuration
  • Full as-built documentation
  • Zero-downtime migration paths

HOW WE SUPPORT YOUR SALES CYCLE
01
Technical Scoping
We help you understand what the customer actually needs before the deal is won.
02
SoW Creation
Accurate, detailed Statements of Work that protect both you and your customer.
03
Post-Sales Delivery
We see the project through to completion and handle any post-go-live issues.

Pre and Post Sales Support

Winning an F5 deal is one thing - delivering on it is another. The LBC works through your channel to provide the technical horsepower that makes deals close and customers happy. We support VARs, distributors, and system integrators across the entire opportunity lifecycle.

From responding to RFPs and building PoC environments to writing Statements of Work and managing post-sales delivery, our team plugs directly into your process.

Automation and iRules

Manual F5 configuration is slow, error-prone, and does not scale. The LBC helps organisations automate their entire application delivery stack - from Day 0 provisioning to Day 2 change management using Ansible, Terraform, and F5's own AS3 and DO frameworks.

We also write, review, and optimise iRules - F5's powerful Tcl-based scripting language - to implement complex traffic policies that go beyond what the GUI exposes.

CuteOS Platform Delivery and Support

We deploy CuteOS as a supported platform service for teams that need a clean, repeatable foundation for BIG-IP and future pack-based integrations.

Because we authored the BIG-IP Pack, we can handle platform rollout, pack implementation, validation, upgrade planning, and support from the same delivery team.

  • CuteOS platform deployment
  • BIG-IP Pack installation and validation
  • Upgrade and lifecycle planning
  • Operational handoff and support runbooks
  • Additional pack roadmap
