VIPRION 2400 Capacity On-Demand Scenario

Unexpected increase in application traffic load places stress on BIGIP capacity.

A new blade is added to chassis which automatically:•Validates the health of the new hardware components.•Images the blade with the current version of TMO/S.•Joins the blade into the chassis cluster.•Expands any striped guests into the newly available capacity. •Brings capacity online and begins directing new traffic flows to the new blade.

All without issuing a single command….All without any impact to ongoing application traffic….

Consolidation Advantages: Investment Protection

Year 1: Original VIPRION Purchase

Year 1: Later Added ASM License to Chassis

Year 2: Increased

Capacity. No licensing costs.

Year 5: Refreshed with new generation of blades. No license

costs.

Year 8: Refresh to 3rd Generation of Blades.

Still no additional licensing costs.
