Optimizing F5 BIG-IP Software on a Dell Server

The article mentioned in the video, found at the link below, provides details on how a readily available, rack-mountable Dell Technologies server can be configured as a BIG-IP appliance, using BIG-IP Virtual Edition (VE) software and VMware ESXi™ as a hypervisor. The goal of the exercise was to understand the expected performance of the resulting BIG-IP and to document the steps followed. The desired, working configuration was easily and quickly implemented on a mainstream compute platform from Dell; specifically, the widely deployed PowerEdge R650™ server. This hardware continues to be available for delivery within days of order placement lending itself to short deployment cycles, the performance to be expected is a key aspect in this investigation.
