F5 integration with DataPower Gateway

Hi folks, perhaps this is not a question specifically about F5 but perhaps you could give me some insight into this discussion. We're currently setting up an instance of IBM's API Management solution...

Hello Chris, we've been looking into this with other team members and a consultant. From an administration point of view, we're not solid enough with DataPower to manage a production environment yet, so we'll probably be sticking with F5 for waf and load balancing (there is some bias over here too!). For the latter, it seems we can take a mixed approach (by which one of the DataPower devices handles the load balancing for the cluster of gateways, and our F5 would be doing the same but for three servers in which the developer portal runs).

 

Thanks!
