Exchange 2010 Concurrent Connections with APM

I'm trying to plan what APM Concurrent Access Session license will be needed. Going to be migrating from MS ISA server to F5 with Auto Discovery, ActiveSYNC, Outlook Anywhere, OWA, OAB. I have been told by ISA Admin around 30k concurrent sessions. So would I need hardware and APM that will be able to support ~30k sessions?

 

If a user authenticated with APM/AD policy has their laptop, mobile device and workstaion all connected to Exchange VS using different services, would this require three APM Access sessions?

    Well... It shows as 3 separate sessions on my APM devices... Enabling Exchange 2010 on mine pushed up the number of sessions from about 150 to about 600 concurrent... (Everyone has at least 2 if not 4 devices connecting to activesync/ews).

     

    Each session via APM shows as a separate session. However if you have a user on a workstation connected via APM and you start a network session and THEN run exchange, the exchange that's tunnelled over the network session doesn't count as a separate session because that's not talking to APM...
