F5 Third-Party Support

With Extended Technical Solutions, you can extend the life of your F5 BIG-IP appliances long after OEM warranty or end-of-service life—without sacrificing reliability, security, or performance. F5 third-party maintenance helps your organization reduce support costs, maintain uptime, and stay secure across load balancing, SSL, and application delivery environments. Here’s how:

We Add Experts to Your Team

At Extended Technical Solutions, we understand how essential F5 load balancers and ADC platforms are to your enterprise network. Our Level 3 engineers specialize in F5 BIG-IP, VIPRION, and iSeries systems, bringing deep experience across hardware, software modules, and traffic management configurations. With a single call, you gain access to engineers who act as an extension of your internal IT staff—ready to diagnose, repair, and optimize your F5 systems with precision.

Focus on Your Priorities

OEM support for legacy F5 devices can be costly, restrictive, and slow to deliver results. Two key issues we help enterprises solve:

  • Wasted Time: Complex OEM escalation paths delay response and resolution, impacting uptime for mission-critical applications.

  • Resource Misallocation: End-of-service-life (EOSL) announcements often pressure teams to replace fully functional hardware—diverting funds from true modernization efforts.

ETS ensures your F5 infrastructure remains stable and fully supported through clear SLAs, forward-stocked parts, and direct engineer access—so your network team can focus on performance and innovation, not unnecessary upgrades.

Unbiased Recommendations

When relying solely on OEM contracts, hardware refreshes often take priority over practical repair options. If a BIG-IP device fails, the typical response is “replace it,” even when the fault can be corrected efficiently.

ETS offers a vendor-neutral approach built on transparency and uptime. We provide firmware guidance, proactive sparing strategies, and clear SLA commitments—extending the life of your F5 environment while keeping your support costs predictable and free from OEM sales pressure.

Empower your team with expert F5 support that safeguards uptime, performance, and security—without the OEM premium.
