VIPRION is the first application delivery controller that scales on demand. It provides the highest levels of throughput and transactions per second available using the F5 TMOS™ platform to deliver massive performance and scalability for BIG-IP® Local Traffic Manager™.
This single, powerful controller uses modular performance blades you can add or remove without disrupting your applications. Instead of adding more devices in the network and segmenting applications, you can simply add more power to your existing infrastructure as needed.
VIPRION gives you the scalability you need to establish a solid and sustainable Application Delivery Networking growth strategy.
VIPRION provides industry-leading layer 7 and SSL performance, so it can manage the most demanding applications. A fully loaded VIPRION system with four blades delivers performance that is orders of magnitude greater than anything else you will find on the market.
With VIPRION's massive performance and scalability, you can reduce the number of application delivery controllers you need to deliver even the most demanding applications. By offloading computationally intense processes, VIPRION can significantly reduce the number of application servers needed.
Does your growing infrastructure require more processing power for layer 7 processing, SSL, compression, and more? Simply add a blade to the VIPRION chassis and it will start processing traffic automatically. Whether you're using one blade or four, VIPRION remains one device with fixed management costs.
Multilayered redundancy significantly reduces the possibility of downtime. In a VIPRION system with multiple blades, you can remove a blade without disruption; the other blades instantly take over the processing load. You can also deploy VIPRION in an active/standby configuration to add another level of redundancy. The chassis is built with redundant power supplies and field swappable components.
StubHub, whose motto is "Where Fans Buy & Sell Tickets," is the largest secondary provider of tickets in the world. Using the StubHub website as a neutral marketplace, ticketholders can sell tickets to a sports, concert, theater, or other live event at market rate, based on popularity and demand, rather than ticket face value. Transactions are processed and delivered by StubHub, and because each ticket is backed by the FanProtect Guarantee, buyers and sellers alike are protected from fraud. StubHub was founded in 2000 and purchased by eBay in 2007.
"The VIPRION devices have helped us open a bigger pipeline to the site, which enables us to generate more revenue," says Dougherty. "With the eBay acquisition, our driver was rapid growth. We began to sign exclusive agreements, and these devices help us accommodate the increased traffic that comes with those partnerships."
