NimbostratusHi, is there any possible link to make presales sizing and designs online? any tool that receives the capacity specs and helps me to get the correct appliance, modules, etc? And also that lets me see the qoute?
thank you
CirrusHi Santiago,
sizing of BIG-IP Appliances may be quite difficult and depends on the needs of the customer. For sizing an Appliance you should know * necessary Modules and amount of Modules provisioned on a single Appliance * expected amount of Requests and connections per second (L4/L7) * amount of SSL traffic (SSL TPS) * necessary amount of network ports * throughput * Types of applications served by the BIG-IP * Virtual or physical
A good help to find the right Appliance is the datasheet: http://www.f5.com/pdf/products/big-ip-platforms-datasheet.pdf
As far as I know there is no tool available. You can always contact your Account Manager or FSE to support you with sizing.
I know, that this was not exactly what you were looking for, but hopes that this will help you even so.

EmployeeNo tools that I know of. Basically, you would need to know your applications well. Such as number of concurrent users, connections per second, environment's network interface speeds, etc...
