17 F5 Solution for Office 365 Highly Available and Secure Identity Infrastructure Customer Challenge Challenge 1 - Ensuring availability of Identity federation Services While Office 365 is highly available SaaS application running in the Microsoft s datacenter, Failure of the Identity federation function such as Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) residing in On-premise datacenter impacts user access to Office 365 Challenge 2 Complexity of the infrastructure An ADFS infrastructure consists of ADFS proxies and servers, which often introduce security, complexity & availability issues that need to be addressed. Common across large enterprises, only devices & proxies that have met certain security standards are allowed to reside at the perimeter (DMZ). These are all obstacles that could affect the ability for an IT department to successfully deploy an federated ADFS solution. Before F5 On-Premises Infrastructure F5 solution Solution 1 Provides load balancing for scalability and availability F5 ensures scalability and availability of ADFS servers through load balancing, including an advanced health monitoring engine designed to determine which ADFS resources are healthy or not. Solution 2 - Simplifies infrastructure and enhances security F5 replaces the need for Windows based ADFS proxy servers in network perimeter while adding a granular security enforcement layer. The F5 solution also simplifies the ADFS infrastructure by combining traffic management and reverse proxy functionality into one platform. With F5 On-Premises Infrastructure DMZ DMZ High Availability + Access Security Users Users APM Failure of ADFS servers impacts availability of Office 365 Load Balancers ADFS Proxy Servers ADFS Servers Active Directory Highly available Office 365 environment BIG-IP Platform ADFS Servers Active Directory Office 365 Office 365 Identity federation Complex infrastructure Identity federation Simplified infrastructure 17
