F5 Networks and BAKOTECH Group held a case conference

This year, the BAKOTEK group of companies and the leader in the field of application delivery and protection, F5 Networks, crossed the line of partnership for a period of 5 years and held a joint event in honor of the anniversary, telling about real cases and successful projects of companies in our region and the CIS.

 “ Today you will not hear any marketing presentations, or stories about new products, or about how spaceships ply the vastness of the universe. We will tell you the use cases, implementations, cases in which we have participated over these 5 years. All stories will relate directly to our markets. There will be many speakers not from BAKOTEK, but from technology partners and direct customers, which is very pleasant , ”said Alexey Yasinsky, department director of the BAKOTEK group of companies, during his welcoming speech. 

“ Ukraine is one of the fastest growing countries for F5 in Eastern Europe. And if earlier many things were of a theoretical nature, now business in Ukraine has reached such a level that we will talk about specific cases and projects that we, together with our partners, have implemented for our customers ”, - confirmed the regional director of F5 Networks for Eastern Europe Sergey Pozdnyakov.

He also highlighted one of the most important trends in the movement of companies around the world to the cloud and, in this context, the importance of the deal to buy the well-known market player - NGINX - and integrate its technologies into F5 products.

Note that the event took place in the format of two streams. During the Business Session, participants, among other things, learned how they managed to set up fast application delivery in distributed data centers of a bank with a large amount of data, listened to cases of replacing TMG with F5 Networks in Georgian Indastrial Group and Fozzy Group, learned the best practices for solving most problems on the network with the help of Enriched Netflow, about WAF and Kredobank's path from “historically” to application specific configurations, as well as many other solutions to non-trivial problems.

In turn, at the Technical Session, the guests of the event learned about the nuances of implementing balancing of different types of applications in a large international bank, about the migration of the distributed data center infrastructure to the F5 BIG-IP i2600 platform from the mouth of a network architect from IBM Ukraine, about the practice of using the F5 Automation Toolcain settings to accelerate daily tasks of large F5 installations, Access Policy Manager and all company services on one web page in ZeoAlliance, and much more.

The rich program of cases from the F5 TECH SHOW 2019 conference naturally touched upon the main directions of F5 Networks, namely: What is f5

securing web applications

centralized application management

optimization of the transition to cloud infrastructures

managing policies of access rights to applications.

The session of the “Open Microphone” summed up and finished the event with high quality, the main purpose of which was traditionally to solve a specific problem in 5 minutes or answer a difficult question of the guest of the conference - with the help of experts, speakers and colleagues in the hall.
