F5-BIG-BT-R12600-DS Features

The F5-BIG-BT-R12600-DS is a full-featured solution based on the r12600-DS hardware platform. Compared to the r10000 series, it features significant upgrades in core computing resources, including more service processing cores (44) and doubled memory (512GB). These hardware enhancements deliver superior concurrent processing capabilities and virtualization density, enabling it to host larger-scale application delivery and security services on a unified, highly reliable platform.

High-Density Integrated Service Platform

The core strength of the F5-BIG-BT-R12600-DS lies in its powerful computing capabilities. With 44 available service processing cores and 512GB DDR4 memory, it provides a robust hardware foundation for simultaneously running multiple functional modules within the “Best Bundle” (LTM, AWF, APM, etc.), ensuring efficient operation of all services under high loads.

High-Performance Concurrent Security Processing

For security, the F5-BIG-BT-R12600-DS delivers formidable processing power. **270K TPS SSL processing capability** enables efficient inspection of massive encrypted traffic volumes. Simultaneously, a dedicated 90Gbps hardware compression engine accelerates LTM while freeing up valuable CPU resources for other security modules.

Ultra-High-Density IT Resource Consolidation

The F5-BIG-BT-R12600-DS supports virtualization capabilities (vCMP) for up to 44 tenants. This makes it an ideal IT resource consolidation platform, allowing you to consolidate dozens of legacy, single-function devices into a single appliance. This significantly reduces the number of devices in your data center, lowers energy consumption, and simplifies management complexity, thereby optimizing total cost of ownership (TCO).

Built-in Telecom-Grade Reliability

The F5-BIG-BT-R12600-DS comes standard with dual RAID1-mirrored hard drives and dual hot-swappable power supplies. This design eliminates single points of failure at the hardware level, providing a highly available, trusted foundation for all mission-critical applications running on it.

Q1: What is the main difference between the BT-R12600-DS and the BT-R10900?
A: The BT-R12600-DS offers significant improvements in processing resources. It has more business vCPUs (44 vs. 36), double the memory (512GB vs. 256GB), and higher SSL TPS (270K vs. 200K). It’s built for more demanding, high-density service consolidation needs.

Q2: Who is the ideal customer for the F5-BIG-BT-R12600-DS?
A: Ideal customers include large service providers, major financial institutions, and hyperscale cloud providers. They need to consolidate as many high-performance application delivery and security services as possible onto a single, highly reliable platform.

Q3: Can the BT-R12600-DS run all “Best Bundle” modules at high capacity simultaneously?
A: Yes. Equipped with 44 dedicated business cores, 512GB of RAM, and powerful hardware offloads, it’s designed to handle heavy concurrent service loads without performance issues. This makes it the most capable consolidation platform in its class.

Q4: Is this a physical appliance or a virtual solution?
A: The F5-BIG-BT-R12600-DS is a physical, carrier-grade hardware appliance. Its strength is running multiple high-performance virtual ADC instances (vCMP), combining the reliability of dedicated hardware with cloud-like flexibility.
