Volterra, acquired by F5 in 2021, is a technology company that has developed a universal edge-as-a-service platform. This platform is designed for enterprises and service providers, enabling them to manage and secure applications across multi-cloud and edge environments. The core of Volterra's offering is its "Edge 2.0" platform, which is built with a security-first approach and is application-driven. This allows for the delivery of a wide range of security services in a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, including F5's AI technology for fraud and abuse protection.

The business model is centered around providing a distributed cloud platform that simplifies the complexities of managing applications in diverse environments. By doing so, it addresses the challenges of modern application delivery and security. The company makes money by charging for the use of its platform and the various services it offers.
