2. V11 - Revolution

3. Analytics – URL Load Times

4. Analytics – TPS per URL

5. Analytics – Request Throughput per URL

6. Analytics – Response Throughput per URL

7. Statistics and Reporting Per Virtual Server CPU Stats and Profile Stats * Improved Visibility for Each Virtual Service

8. Statistics and ReportingPer Process CPU & Memory Stats – Dashboard Customization * Improved Diagnostics

9. Open Application Logging Engine Client Real-time Transaction logs High Speed Logging Engine (HSL) • GUI - Request Logging Profile • Unmatched performance - Up to 200,000 HSL (TCP/UDP) messages per second with minimal impact to cpu usage • Support compliance requirements • W3C standard web log format support

10. TMOS F5 ScaleN ArchitectureUltimate Scalability and Reliability The flexibility to scale up, virtualize, and scale out on-demand Scale Up Clustered Multiprocessing (CMP) & SuperVIP Virtualization (vCMP) Scale Out

11. Typical Failover – Limited Control • Typical ADC runs Active-Standby • Can only fail entire ADC • Failover events disrupt all services

12. ScaleN: Device Service ClustersDynamic Service Based Failover • Fail-over targeted application workloads • Avoid application service disruptions • Move applications needing extra power

13. ScaleN: Device Service ClustersElastic Scale Driving Efficiency • Active-active-activeNScale • Blade fails on BIG-IP 1 • Add new blade to BIG-IP 3 • Blade replaced on BIG-IP 1 • Any type of BIG-IP device

14. TMOS – TCP, HTTP, & iRule Enhancements Akamai TCP Options inspection & transformation with iRules Ability to create TCP/UDP out of band connections via iRules TCP Connection Queuing HTML Parsing iRules Separate caching & compression profiles from HTTP *Bigpipe is no longer supported in v11

15. TCP Connection queuing • Operates at TCP level; HTTP not required • Currently only engages when conn limit hit • Specify queue length limit, time limit, or both • Queues operate per-tmm (no state sharing) • Length limit divided by tmm count • FIFO guarantees only per-tmm • Queued at the pool level for non-persistent connections • Queued at the pool member level for persistent connections • If conn limit is overridden by persistence, that conn is not queued • When a pool member becomes available, it checks the head of its queue, and of the pool’s queue, and services the flow that got there first.

16.
