F5 BIG-IP i11600 (256 GB Memory, SSD, Base SSL, Base Compression, Dual AC Power Supplies)

The BIG-IP i11000 series is our line of high-performance ADC appliances, designed for large enterprises and service providers. The i11800 offers F5’s highest L7 request-per-sec performance in a 1RU form factor, with dual TurboFlex FPGA’s, 18-Core Intel Xeon processor, 256GB DDR4 RAM, 960GB enterprise class solid-state drive (SSD) and dual 80 Plus Platinum-certified, high-efficiency power supplies. The dedicated crypto-hardware enables SSL offloading and hardware-based support for elliptical curve cryptography (ECC) ciphers. This series also supports up to 180M L4 concurrent connections and up to 32 vADC guests for consolidating application and security services, including L4 – L7 traffic management, DNS, DDoS protection, and web application firewalls.

Gain Agility with the Most Programmable Cloud-Ready ADC

F5’s next-generation, cloud-ready Application Delivery Controller (ADC) platform provides DevOps-like agility with the scale, security depth, and investment protection needed for both established and emerging apps. The new F5 BIG-IP iSeries appliances deliver quick and easy programmability, ecosystem-friendly orchestration, and record breaking, software-defined hardware performance. As a result, customers can accelerate private clouds and secure critical data at scale while lowering TCO and future proofing their application infrastructure.

Key Benefits

Obtain the lowest TCO
Reduce TCO and the infrastructure footprint by consolidating app and security services on to a unified, high-performance platform.

Protect critical data
Deliver the SSL capacity required to protect critical data—including offload of elliptical curve cryptography (ECC) processing to hardware—enabling forward secrecy scaling. Simplify operations and improve customer confidence with the fastest way to an SSL Labs A+ rating.

Secure applications
Deliver the most effective protection with integrated, one-pass, full stack (L3–L7 security, including an ICSA Certified firewall, highcapacity DDoS mitigation, contextual access management, and more.

Ensure the easiest deployment for cloud or container environments
Save time with the only simple, out-of-the-box native integration with leading private cloud, cloud interconnect colocation, and container environments.

Maximize investment protection
The iSeries’ software-defined hardware includes unique F5 TurboFlex FPGA technology that enables on-demand optimized performance for specific use cases such as DDoS protection or UDP traffic processing. Eliminate forklift upgrades and extend the lifecycle of app delivery hardware with software-upgradeable performance.

Maximize uptime
Ensure your critical infrastructure is built on reliable, carrier-grade hardware with hot-swappable components, redundant power supplies and fans, and always-on management integrated with a full baseboard management controller (BMC) with IPMI support.

Standardize Your App Delivery Services

BIG-IP ADC appliances can simplify your network and reduce total cost of ownership (TCO) by offloading servers, providing a consistent set of comprehensive application services, and consolidating devices, saving management, power, space, and cooling costs in the data center.

The massive performance and scalability of the BIG-IP platform reduces the number of ADCs needed to deliver even the most demanding applications. By offloading computationally intense processes, you can significantly reduce the number of application servers needed.

Intelligent Performance Where It Matters

Traditional performance measurements in terms of throughput don’t accurately represent the complex needs of delivering modern web applications. Connection capacity and L7 transactions per second are critical. For instance, ADCs must be able to process high levels of layer 4 and layer 7 connections and make application-layer decisions such as removing sensitive information or transforming application-specific payloads. BIG-IP appliances have the intelligence and performance to handle application layer decisions while securing your data and infrastructure.
