The 10000 Series Platform
About 10000 Series models
The BIG-IP®10000 Series platform is a powerful system that is capable of managing trafc for any size of
enterprise. This platform series includes models that support either hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state
drives (SSDs).
F5 offers three performance levels of SSL ofoad in the 10000 Series: the 10000s, 10200v, and 10200v-SSL.
The 10200v-SSL platform features high-performance SSL hardware that frees servers from the task of
encrypting and decrypting data.
The 10000 Series platform is available with a FIPS compliant hardware security module (HSM) as a
factory-installed option (10200v-FIPS and 10350v-FIPS). The 10150 Series platform is available in Network
Equipment-Building System (NEBS) compliant versions (10150s-NEBS and 10350v-NEBS).
Note: FIPS is not supported in vCMP guests.
for more information, see the data sheet at
www.f5.com/pdf/products/big-ip-platforms-datasheet.pdf.
