11 More Information
Your organizations growing infrastructure puts more pressure on the networkfrom
rising numbers of users to data center consolidation to the deployment of more featurerich applications. Scaling the Application Delivery Network (ADN) to meet these evolving
needs means increased operational cost and complexity. The resulting strain on resources
can limit your organizations ability to react quickly to developing needs.
Each F5 VIPRION platform is a single, powerful Application Delivery Controller (ADC)
with modular performance blades you can add or remove with no disruption to your
applications. Instead of adding more devices in the network and segmenting applications,
you can simply add more power to your existing infrastructure as needs arise. VIPRION
gives you the scalability you need to establish a solid and sustainable ADN growth strategy.
Key benefits
Reduce costs
Consolidate devices
Maximize performance
Manage and protect demanding apps with
industry-leading layer 4 and layer 7 performance
and SSL processing power.
DATASHEET
VIPRION
With VIPRIONs 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. VIPRION includes:
SSL hardware accelerationOffloads costly SSL encryption. Accelerates key exchange
and bulk encryption to provide best-in-market SSL performance.
Hardware compressionEnables you to cost effectively offload traffic compression
processing from your servers. Improves page load times and reduces bandwidth
utilization.
With its industry-leading layer 4/7 throughput, connection processing, and SSL performance,
VIPRION can manage the most demanding applications, offload the servers, and consolidate
the Application Delivery Network. In addition, as an ICSA Labs Certified firewall solution,
F5 BIGIP Advanced Firewall Manager (AFM) on VIPRION provides native, high-performance
network firewall services to protect public-facing websites and data center applications
from distributed, multi-layer cyber attacks.
User selectable hardware profiles that enable different performance levels for targeted
workloads. Initial profile options include optimized L4 throughput on select platforms
for CGNAT or L4-centric traffic management solutions.
DATASHEET
VIPRION
In a VIPRION system with multiple blades, you can remove a blade without disruption.
The other blades will 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. This multi-layered
redundancy significantly reduces the possibility of downtime.

VIPRION 2400 with four 2250 blades: The VIPRION 2150 blade has four processor cores (a total of
eight hyperthreaded logical processing cores), and the 2250 blade has 10 processor cores (a total of
20 hyperthreaded logical processing cores). The VIPRION 2400 chassis can support up to four 2150
or 2250 blades. The VIPRION 2200 chassis can support two 2150 or 2250 blades.
Note: Only the same type of supported blades are enabled for traffic processing in each chassis.
