Standard Life is a major asset managing company headquartered in Edinburgh and operating across the globe. Established in 1825, Standard Life provides life assurance and pensions, investment management, banking, and healthcare insurance products to more than 6.5 million customers worldwide.
A leader in financial services, Standard Life is also widely known in the technology sector for effective, forward-looking IT implementations. Service Orientated Architecture (SOA) is well-established at the heart of the company's IT strategy, allowing more effective information sharing within the organization and through customer communication channels, as well as more efficient business processes.
In developing the fourth generation of its SOA infrastructure platform, Standard Life wanted to implement an architecture that was fully fault-tolerant and had no scalability constraints, while delivering increased application protection.
F5's BIG-IP ASM solution was selected after a rigorous evaluation of available technology and a successful proof-of-concept. With F5 solutions at Standard Life, BIG-IP's powerful layer 7 load balancing capability becomes a key enabler of the SOA architecture, while the functionality of ASM supports compliance with PCI DSS, HIPAA, Basel II, and SOX regulations without the need for application changes or rewrites, or separate devices to perform different tasks.

"Our vision for the next generation of our world-class SOA platform includes removing scalability barriers, increasing security, and maximizing service capabilities with minimal impact to the user experience," said Martin Symmers, SOA Enterprise Architect at Standard Life. "We concluded that, to deliver on our goals, we needed to implement powerful application-layer load balancing and security capabilities while minimizing infrastructure complexity."
