BIG-IP® Hardware
Get unmatched power with BIG-IP hardware
Our ground-breaking platforms deliver unmatched power, dramatically improving Layer 4-7 traffic throughput and providing better application delivery. F5's revolutionary TMOS architecture is at the heart of all BIG-IP platforms, efficiently isolating clients from the server-side flows to increase application performance and allow custom payload inspection and transformation capabilities with iRules.
BIG-IP is available on the VIPRION system:
 |
VIPRIONThe first Application Delivery Controller (ADC) that scales on demand. Add up to four blades to each chassis system and scale your application delivery network as demands grow. |
BIG-IP is available on these application switch platforms:
 |
BIG-IP 11000 SeriesThe BIG-IP 11000 and 11050 support high throughput levels to meet the application delivery needs of service providers and organizations that put a premium on transactions per second. The 11050 is an ideal solution for organizations that have configured their data centers around 10GE or are currently planning to upgrade their infrastructure.With up to 20Gbps of LAN-side WAN optimization throughput, 16 Gbps of hardware compression, 48GB of memory, and optional solid state drives, the 11000 is ideal for data center replication and improving web application performance. |
 |
BIG-IP 8900 SeriesThe BIG-IP 8900, 8950, and 8950S enable organizations to integrate advanced ADN functionality and consolidate their IT infrastructures to reduce power, space, and cooling requirements, and the associated costs. With these platforms, large enterprises and service providers can support extremely high levels of application traffic and integrate advanced optimization and security capabilities. The BIG-IP 8950S platform provides significantly enhanced SSL encryption performance, up to 20,000 TPS (2K keys), to keep organizations’ data secure as they transition to 2048-bit SSL certificates. |
 |
BIG-IP 6900 SeriesWith two dual-core processors as well as hardware SSL and compression, the BIG-IP 6900 and 6900S have the performance to provide an integrated platform for application delivery. The BIG-IP 6900 can process up to 6 Gbps of throughput to handle the most demanding applications. The BIG-IP 6900S platform provides significantly enhanced SSL encryption performance to keep organizations’ data secure as they transition to 2048-bit SSL certificates. |
 |
BIG-IP 3900 SeriesWith a quad-core processor that enables support for multiple BIG-IP modules, the BIG-IP 3900 unifies application delivery in a 1U, cost-effective platform. |
|
BIG-IP 3600 SeriesThe BIG-IP 3600 provides a high-performance, entry-level platform for organizations wanting to add integrated application delivery to their network, with options for advanced security and acceleration. |
 |
BIG-IP 1600 SeriesThe BIG-IP 1600 offers all the functionality of TMOS in a cost-effective, entry-level platform for intelligent application delivery. |
FIPS Compliance
BIG-IP application switches are also available on these FIPS-compliant Hardware Security Module platforms: BIG-IP 11050F, 11000F, 8900F, 6900F.
Organizations with very sensitive data—including government, financial, healthcare, and other industries—need high levels of encryption for application traffic to ensure that confidential information is not disclosed. Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) was established by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to specify how sensitive data needs to be secured and encrypted.
F5’s FIPS-compliant Hardware Security Module (HSM) application delivery platforms provide enhanced security for SSL by storing, processing, and encrypting both the keys and data in a Hardware Security Module. In combining FIPS capabilities with application delivery services on a single device, the BIG-IP FIPS HSM platforms provide compelling price and performance advantages and protection for SSL-encrypted application traffic while simplifying compliance management and reducing costs. The 11000F series devices are capable of processing 50,000 SSL transactions per second.
