F5-BIG-BT-R5600: All-in-one Gateway for High-speed Core Network Integration
The F5-BIG-BT-R5600 is a premium “Best Bundle” solution designed for large-scale IT consolidation. Compared to the BT-R4000 series, like F5-BIG-BT-R4800, it delivers a significant hardware leap — introducing native 100G/40G ports, doubling memory to 128GB, and greatly enhancing SSL performance. These upgrades make the R5600 a true all-in-one platform, ideal for core deployments handling application delivery, security, and access control in industries like finance, education, and healthcare.
F5-BIG-BT-R5600 Key Features
Enterprise-Grade Integrated Platform
With balanced 60Gbps throughput and robust hardware, the R5600 confidently supports all “Best Bundle” modules — LTM, AWF, APM, and AFM — at once. It’s the ideal choice for centralizing key services on a single, high-performance platform.
Powerful Concurrent Security Processing
Delivering up to 60,000 SSL TPS and 35Gbps hardware compression, the R5600 offloads intense cryptographic and inspection workloads. This ensures strong HTTPS traffic decryption, deep threat detection (AWF), and high-performance access control (APM), all without sacrificing speed or user experience.
High-Density IT Consolidation
With 128GB RAM and virtualization for up to 8 tenants, the R5600 is built for large-scale service integration. You can consolidate legacy devices like standalone WAFs or VPN appliances onto one system, reducing data center footprint, cost, and complexity.
Core Network-Ready 100G Interfaces
The R5600 features two 100G/40G QSFP+ ports, ready to connect directly to your data center’s core or aggregation layer. This ensures the gateway won’t become a network bottleneck and keeps you ready for future bandwidth demands.
