Load Balancing Servers With F5 and Oracle OHS

Hi,

I am not familiar with OHS, but I know that is a Web server as apache!!!

If your backend server don't need OHS to work, you can do without for the following reason:

• with F5 you can manage advance LB.
• you can manage persistence, Inteligent Health check
• you can do compression, acceleration (caching) ...

And especially you have a point of failure in less. you have no interest in cascading 2 solutions. unless you have a technical imperative.

In all case I advise you to Place F5 in Frontal (For possible evolutions):

• APM : perimeter security
• ASM : WAF (ddos protection)
• hardware compression (If you have hardware device)
• SSL Interception (Hardware too, if you have hardware device).
• ...

If you need more details or you want to focus on some points keep me update.

Regards
