Shape Security and Volterra moving to F5 Distributed Cloud Services
Overview
In the last few years, F5 acquired Shape Security, Volterra, NGINX and Threat Stack--broadening the F5 portfolio of products. To simply our growing portfolio, products from Shape Security and Volterra will now converge under a new F5 Distributed Cloud Services brand.
From now on there will be three primary F5 product brands: BIG-IP, NGINX, and Distributed Cloud Services.

So what does this mean for you?
Your experiences with these F5 products should remain largely unchanged. That being said, here's a few minor changes that may affect you:
- In-product experiences, DevCentral posts, and other F5 materials will reflect the new names.
- Specific website domains will no longer exist. Volterra.io will redirect to cloud.f5.com, where users can login on the Distrubuted Cloud Services page. Interactions with the respective products, assigned tenant name spaces/URLs, and who you work with for support and customer service will not be impacted.
- Product documentation for F5 Distributed Cloud Protection Manager and Distributed Cloud Console will also move. You can see the new locations here:
| Historical Product Name | New Product Name | Product Documentation Location |
| Shape Protection Manager | F5® Distributed Cloud Protection Manager |
The F5® Distributed Cloud Protection Manager user interface contains a “Documentation” link to relevant product documentation. |
| VoltConsole | F5® Distributed Cloud Console | The F5® Distributed Cloud Console user interface will include links to relevant product documentation. In addition, product documentation can be found at https://docs.cloud.f5.com |
