    Hello, the only difference are disk, 5250 using SSD and 5200. We strongly advise that you go for 5250V. This appliance is using SSD disk which will give you better performances while using VCMP for visualization or ASM with extensive local logging.

     

    Ref you are looking for are :

     

    • F5-BIG-LTM-5250V
    • F5-ADD-BIG-ASM-5000

    or
