Case Study: University of Derby elevates the student experience with F5 Distributed Cloud Services

University of Derby migrates to the cloud in 6 months with F5 Network

The University of Derby, with a small IT team, needed to migrate its workloads to Microsoft Azure within a tight six-month schedule. The challenge was to enhance security, resolve application latency for student systems like PeopleSoft, and manage this transition efficiently without overextending its limited resources. They turned to their long-time vendor, F5, to modernize their application delivery and security with F5 Distributed Cloud Services.

F5 implemented its Distributed Cloud Services, including WAF, DDoS protection, App Connect, and DNS. This solution provided enhanced visibility and troubleshooting, automated certificate management, and simplified traffic routing. For the University of Derby, this enabled the successful cloud migration on time, strengthened their security posture with less overhead, and directly improved the student experience by resolving latency issues. F5's platform gave the team greater control and flexibility while reducing administrative tasks.
