Sizing BIG-UP LTM with APM module

Hi, We have below expectations on user load. How to we get initiated our sizing discussions ? Is there any sizing calculator? ~31,000 devices with ~81,000 connections That apart, what are the other considerations and parameters we should ask for sizing ? We want to use F5 mainly for reverse proxy and ActiveSync SSL authentication + Forms based authentication.

 

Any insight much appreciated.

 

  • Hi,

     

    If you using the F5 for SSL, the expected number of SSL transactions per second (SSL TPS) is usefull. You need an appliance which can handle these SSL sessions.

     

    Other considurations are throughput, media type (copper, fiber).

     

    I would contact your local F5 reseller. They can help you size your appliance according to all of your whises.

    • i second Martijn, contact your F5 re-seller or F5 sales contact, specially for modules like APM there are no fixed tools or such.

       

    • if you feel the answer was the correct one please flag it as such.
