F5-BIG-LTM-R10600: Carrier-grade Reliability LTM Platform

is F5’s flagship application delivery starting point, setting new benchmarks in performance, scalability and reliability. Its core edge over the [r2000], [r4000] and [r5000] series is “inherent hardware redundancy”: standard RAID1 mirrored dual hard drives and dual hot-swappable power supplies deliver unrivaled single-machine fault tolerance. With doubled 256GB memory, doubled core port density and top-tier processing, it evolves from an application delivery controller to a high-availability platform, seamlessly carrying critical businesses in finance, telecommunications and more.

F5-BIG-LTM-R10600 Highlights:

Built-in Telecom-grade Hardware Redundancy
Its standard features include RAID1 mirrored dual hard drives and dual hot-swappable power supplies. These prevent service interruptions caused by single hard drive or power supply failures.

115K TPS SSL Processing Capacity
The F5-BIG-LTM-R10600 can handle up to 115,000 SSL handshakes per second. Whether serving as a unified SSL offloading platform for large enterprises or a security gateway for cloud service providers, it can handle massive encrypted traffic to ensure data security.

Powerful 24-core Business Processing
It offers 24 powerful vCPU cores for your business processing (Tenancy). The strong parallel processing power maintains utmost performance and lowest latency even when running high-density vCMP virtualization instances or executing massive, complex iRules traffic policies.

256GB Large Onboard Memory
256GB memory provides a huge advantage. It can stably maintain up to 145 million concurrent connections and offers unparalleled extension space for future deployment of more complex, memory-intensive security modules.

190Gbps Throughput and Ultra-high-density Ports
With application throughput up to 190Gbps, paired with 4x 100G and 16x 25G ultra-high-density ports, the F5-BIG-LTM-R10600 can serve as a powerful network aggregation node, directly connecting more servers and core switches. It simplifies data center architecture significantly while greatly reducing operational costs.

F5-BIG-LTM-R10600 Key Spec

Q1: R10600 vs R5000 – what’s the real gap?
Redundancy comes standard on the R10600—RAID 1 SSDs + dual PSUs baked in. The R5000 treats redundancy as an add-on.

Q2: Why only 24 app cores on the R10600 when the R5900 has 26?
12 cores are reserved for F5OS to keep the control plane unshakable under carrier-grade loads. Rock-solid beats raw count here.

Q3: Can the R10600 anchor a large private cloud?
Yes. 256 GB RAM, dense 10/25/40/100 G ports, and bullet-proof hardware make it the perfect traffic cop and security gate for private-cloud scale.
