F5 Networks is at the forefront of provisioning and orchestrating applications services, and their solutions will be integral to driving our continued growth and innovation.”
The F5 Networks solutions at Kanoo Group's UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain data centers include F5 BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) to balance traffic across virtualized servers; F5 BIG-IP Advanced Firewall Manager (AFM) to filter incoming customer communications; and F5 BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM) to manage user authentication.
The wide-ranging project is set to improve business performance across all Kanoo Group divisions, including the largest travel and leisure company in the Middle East, as well as its trading, shipping, travel, machinery, oil and gas, logistics, specialty chemicals, and retail divisions.
“Kanoo Group has a long history of using technology to deliver excellent customer service, and we are proud to support their next stage of growth.
