F5
This was the catalyst for F5 to accelerate its multi-cloud and edge strategy during 2020 , culminating in the acquisition of Volterra in January 2021 . “ Volterra is the first universal edge-as-a-service platform and is key to executing on our Edge 2.0 vision ,” Lin says . “ For example , a U . S . bank wanting to roll out merchant payment services globally may face difficulty building its own edge services in diverse places such as Scandinavia and Thailand . Volterra enables the bank to give its customers a uniform digital experience wherever they are . The bank can preserve its security policies and user experience service level agreements . Digital experience is now a big competitive differentiator for businesses .”
