Story
Inside Afya, network operations used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in information technology groups working out of the United States. Network engineers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Afya uses Shape Security from F5 as the working layer for campus and branch networking. F5 provides application delivery, security, and traffic management products used in front of enterprise applications. The practical change is simple: network operations has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Afya gets from F5 is a durable place to run network operations and a way for network engineers to see the same campus and branch networking at the same time.
