    BIG-IP Hardware

    Our platforms deliver unmatched power, dramatically improving Layer 4-7 traffic throughput and providing better application delivery. F5's 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.

    Our powerful VIPRION hardware delivers high performance and scalability for BIG-IP LTM. VIPRION is the first application delivery controller that scales on demand, providing the highest levels of throughput and transactions per second.
