Assess and Harden Your F5 Estate

The platform layer decides everything above it.

F5 hardware and software have changed more since 2020 than in the decade before: F5OS tenancy on rSeries and VELOS has replaced vCMP, TMOS 17.x brought TLS 1.3, HTTP/3 and hardened defaults, Virtual Editions run natively in AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, and BIG-IP v21 has taken over the roadmap that BIG-IP Next was meant to carry.

JustADC builds and maintains that platform layer so the services above it – traffic management, access and security – stand on a foundation that is right-sized, current, automated and documented.

Most F5 estates are inherited: several TMOS versions, configurations written by people who have moved on, monitors nobody trusts and devices that missed a security advisory or two. An assessment gives you an honest picture of what you are running and a prioritised plan to fix it.

What an assessment covers

  • Platform health – CPU, memory and disk trends, hardware and power-supply errors, licence and certificate expiry, and iHealth analysis of qkviews and core files.
  • Configuration quality – unused objects, duplicated profiles, persistence and monitor mismatches, SSL profile hygiene (TLS 1.3, cipher strings, OCSP stapling) and adherence to F5 and JustADC best practices.
  • Security exposure – TMOS and F5OS versions against current F5 security advisories, management-plane exposure, administrative roles and remote authentication, and iControl REST and SSH access.
  • High availability – failover and config-sync state, connection mirroring, and whether a real failover has ever been tested.
  • Lifecycle – end-of-software-development and end-of-support dates for each platform and release, and the upgrade or replacement decisions they force.
  • Automation readiness – how much of the configuration could be expressed declaratively today, and what stands in the way.

What you receive

A JustADC Estate Assessment Report with findings ranked by risk, the remediation for each, a patch and upgrade calendar, and a roadmap for the platforms that need replacing – with the option to have us execute it through ADC On Demand or a fixed-fee engagement.
