Story
BP grew campus and branch networking faster than the local tools around it. From the United Kingdom, energy teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Network engineers were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out F5 BIG-IP put network operations on F5. F5 provides application delivery, security, and traffic management products used in front of enterprise applications. BP keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so network engineers do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier network operations. Campus and branch networking is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join network engineers without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
