F5-BIG-LTM-R10900 Local Traffic Manager

F5-BIG-LTM-R10900 is a very high-end configuration in this rSeries platform, second only to the R12000. Compared with the same series models LTM r10800 and r10600, its core advantage lies in providing “undifferentiated” application-layer processing capability: it achieves an L7 throughput of 190Gbps, fully matching its L4 performance, a feat unmatched by other models. This advantage, combined with industry-leading SSL performance and the highest number of business processing cores, makes it the ultimate solution for industries with “zero tolerance” for performance and latency, such as large telecom operators, leading cloud service providers, and national-level financial data centers.

F5-BIG-LTM-R10900 Features

Ultimate Performance – Balanced 190G L4/L7 Throughput
Achieves 190Gbps balanced throughput at both L4 and L7 layers, completely eliminating application-layer processing bottlenecks. Whether handling simple packet forwarding or complex iRules application-layer decisions, it runs at ultimate line speed.

200K TPS SSL Processing Capacity
Offers industry-leading encryption performance, handling up to 200,000 SSL handshakes/second. It is designed for “zero trust” security architectures and large financial trading systems needing fully decryption/inspection of massive traffic.

Peak Virtualization – 36-core Business Processing
With up to 36 dedicated vCPU cores, the LTM R10900 stands among the most powerful virtualized ADC platforms. It supports the largest number of highest-performance vCMP tenants, making it the final choice to achieve ultimate IT resource consolidation.

Telecom-grade Reliability and 256GB Memory
Standard RAID1 dual drives and dual hot-swappable power supplies ensure top hardware reliability. Its 256GB memory stably supports 180 million concurrent connections.

Ultra-high-density Network Core
Equipped with 4x 100G and 16x 25G ultra-high-density ports, it can serve as the core node for super-large data centers or carrier networks, delivering unmatched connectivity density and bandwidth capacity to handle traffic from thousands of servers.

Q1: What does “balanced L4/L7 throughput” mean for the LTM-R10900?
A: It means predictable and consistent performance. Whether your traffic is simple Layer 4 (L4) TCP connections or complex Layer 7 (L7) API calls requiring deep content inspection and policy enforcement, the F5-BIG-LTM-R10900 handles them all at ultimate line rate. It ensures the lowest, most stable latency for all business traffic. This “balanced throughput” means no application-layer bottlenecks—consistent high performance for both network and applications.

Q2: In what scenarios must I choose LTM-R10900 instead of LTM-R10800?
A: You must choose the R10900 when your business demands “zero tolerance” for application-layer latency and requires ultimate line-rate processing. For example, in high-frequency trading, large-scale online gaming, or real-time decision-making AI applications, the microsecond-level performance advantage in L7 line-rate processing offered by the LTM-R10900 is unmatched by the R10800.

Q3: What is the main benefit of having 36 business cores for the LTM?
A: The main benefit is extreme parallel processing capability. Boasting 36 dedicated vCPU cores, the F5-BIG-LTM-R10900 outperforms other models in high-density vCMP multi-tenancy and concurrent execution of complex iRules scripts, delivering efficient multitasking for the most demanding applications.
