Performance of virtual edition
Hi!
Besides a few new 2000s Big-IP's we have installed quite a lot of virtual editions in our customer's networks. When it comes to new projects, customers tend to ask what performance one could expect from the virtual edition in comparison to the bare metal appliances. But besides the 1Gbit max throughput license limit, i cannot find any perfomance figures on any virtual edition documentation.
I understand that the performance will mainly depend on the underlying vmware environment. But if the vmware host has recent CPUs, good network cards etc and is not badly overbooked, which performance could be expected?
Greetings!
Andreas
