Case Study: IndianOil achieves 80% bandwidth savings and enhanced security with F5 Networks BIG‑IP ADCs

IndianOil Reduces Bandwidth Use by 80 Percent, Improves Security with F5 ADCs

IndianOil, India’s flagship national oil company, was struggling as user numbers and application traffic grew—servers experienced performance degradation, there was no redundancy for failover, and managing 35 public IPs created security and operational headaches. After evaluating options, IndianOil selected F5 Networks’ BIG‑IP ADC solutions (including BIG‑IP LTM, WebAccelerator, ASM and iRules) to address scalability, security, and application delivery challenges.

F5 Networks deployed BIG‑IP LTM, WebAccelerator, Application Security Manager and iRules to consolidate proxies, offload SSL, cache content, and enforce layer‑7 protection. The F5 Networks solution cut bandwidth use by 80%, reduced annual operational expenditure by about 20%, consolidated external access from 35 public IPs to a single IP, improved application performance and stability, saved development time, and achieved an expected payback in under 20 months.
