F5 to load balance MS Sql Servers

Hello All: I am presented with a tricky situation by the business users here at my company. After seeing the performance and manageability with all the Web Servers and App Servers with F5 LTM, now they want to see if we can do the same for Database Servers. Right off my head, I said its doable but took time to get back with more details and here am.

 

 

Is there a solutions guide or something that gives more insight on setting up Database servers behind LTM. I am not sure if anyone ever did this before, at least I never saw any company using F5 to load balance DB. I am not sure even this is possible.

 

 

Please advice. Appreciate you help.

 

 

Thanks,

 

Chenna
