F5-BIG-BT-R4800 Best Bundle

F5-BIG-BT-R4800 is the high-performance flagship of the R4000 “Best Bundle” series. Compared to the popular F5-BIG-BT-R4600, its key advantage lies in the addition of a dedicated hardware compression module and upgraded CPU and SSL processing capacity. This critical upgrade allows the R4800 to handle multiple compute-intensive services — like WAF inspection, LTM compression, and APM-encrypted VPN — simultaneously, with greater performance and stability. It’s purpose-built for high-traffic e-commerce, online education, SaaS, and other businesses that demand both full functionality and peak performance on a single platform.

F5-BIG-BT-R4800 Key Features

High-Performance Service Consolidation
With up to 50Gbps throughput and 16 powerful vCPU cores, it delivers enough headroom to run all “Best Bundle” services — LTM, AWF, AFM, APM — without compromise. It keeps your application delivery, web security, and access control running smoothly, even under heavy traffic loads.

Boosted Concurrent Security Processing
The R4800’s standout advantage is its ability to process 45,000 SSL TPS. This enables the AWF module to decrypt and inspect large volumes of HTTPS traffic effortlessly. More importantly, its dedicated hardware compression engine offloads CPU-intensive tasks, freeing up compute power for advanced WAF threat analysis and APM authentication.

Enterprise-Grade IT Consolidation
With 64GB of memory and 16 business-class vCPUs, the R4800 is built to replace multiple legacy appliances in one platform. You can consolidate critical services without sacrificing speed or reliability — reducing both data center complexity and operational costs.

Future-Proof 25G Connectivity
The R4800’s four 25G SFP28 ports manage increased aggregated traffic from service consolidation. These high-speed interfaces eliminate bandwidth bottlenecks, future-proofing for next-gen data centers.

Can the BT-R4800 handle all the needs of a mid-sized e-commerce website?
Absolutely. That’s exactly what it’s built for. The F5-BIG-BT-R4800 can seamlessly handle:

1. Load balancing for the main shopping site (LTM)
2. Protection against attacks on transactions and user data (AWF)
3. Secure remote access for backend admins (APM)

Both the R4800 and R4600 support up to 2 tenants — what’s the difference?
While they support the same number of tenants, the F5-BIG-BT-R4800 delivers more processing power (16 service cores vs. 12). That means each virtual ADC instance can support heavier workloads and higher traffic with better performance.
