Unified Delivery & Security. The full estate. Everything in GDF, plus access, identity and outbound inspection: F5 Access Policy Manager (APM) for authentication and access management, Secure Web Gateway (SWG) for outbound web filtering and forward proxy, and SSL Orchestrator (SSLO) for decrypt-and-inspect service chains. The complete F5 module set, one contractor. Examples are illustrative, not a fixed menu.
Unified Delivery & Security
Examples grouped by type. These are real examples of the kind of work you can send: illustrative, not a fixed menu. If it is UDS-shaped work, it fits in your queue.
In practice, if the work lives in any of the SDR, EDS or GDF tabs, or in the Access tab (APM authentication and access), Secure Web Gateway (SWG outbound web filtering and forward proxy) or SSL Orchestrator (SSLO decrypt-and-inspect), it belongs in your UDS queue. The examples below just show the shape of that work.
Everything in the GDF bundle: the Local Traffic Manager delivery core, Application Security (ASM / Advanced WAF), Global Traffic Manager (GTM / DNS) and Advanced Firewall Manager (AFM).
Design an APM access policy in the Visual Policy Editor for a new portal or application, from logon page to resource assignment.
Integrate APM with an identity provider for single sign-on, SAML or OAuth/OIDC federation and multi-factor authentication across applications.
Put authentication and per-user access control in front of applications that have none of their own, without changing the application.
Stand up SWG as an explicit or transparent forward proxy so outbound web traffic is authenticated, controlled and logged.
Build category-based and per-user web access policies so people reach what they should and nothing they should not.
Decrypt, inspect and report on outbound web traffic for security and acceptable-use, tied back to the user via APM.
Design an SSL Orchestrator topology and decrypt-and-inspect service chain for outbound or inbound traffic, steering flows through the right security devices.
Integrate the inspection devices (IPS, DLP, malware, NGFW) into SSLO service chains so each sees decrypted traffic once, efficiently.
Manage the certificates and cipher configuration behind SSLO so inspection stays current, trusted and compliant.
The shorter the commitment, the more flexible the price. The half-yearly rate is the standard, matching how F5 work is normally contracted.
| Monthly | Quarterly | Half-yearlystandard rate | Yearly | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UDSUnified Delivery & Security | £17,100 | £16,245 | £15,390 | £14,535 |
Guide price. Each monthly figure is the maximum: it assumes every billable day in a normal month is worked, about 22, at the equivalent day rate. Approxee bills per available day, so any week not worked is not charged; see the availability calendar. Prices in GBP, exclude VAT. Commit longer, pay less: 5% off quarterly, 10% off half-yearly, 15% off yearly.
