Case Study: Bentley University achieves a faster, more responsive Oracle Web Portal and 50% lower costs with A10 Networks

Web Application Delivery for Oracle Portal

Bentley University, a technology‑focused business school, needed to make its campus-wide Oracle Web Portal more responsive for students and faculty. Its existing F5 BIG‑IP load balancers required costly licenses to add web caching, SSL offload and other acceleration features, so the IT team evaluated alternatives to improve performance without breaking the budget.

Bentley selected A10 Networks’ ADCs because advanced acceleration, SSL offload, caching and high‑availability features are included with no extra licensing and the platform offered superior price/performance. After deployment the portal became noticeably faster and more responsive, infrastructure costs dropped, and IT gained a simpler, highly available solution with responsive vendor support—improving the experience for the entire campus.
