AltostratusDifference between Viprion and BIG IP?
Hello folks,
Can somebody will explain me the difference between Viprion and BIG IP in simple language? I am referring the datasheets but it's always good to hear from experts. Thank you.

Hi,
other may give a more definitive answer but...
Viprion is the chassis based hardware platform. BIG-IP is a term that refers to F5's product family and includes APM, ASM, LTM and everything in between and includes the hardware and software.

Viprion is a hardware chassis, then we have hardware appliances as well. As arpydays (nice handle, btw) indicated, the BIG-IP is the platform name for all our traffic service modules.

VIPRION is a chassis based, more powerful, and more fault tolerant appliance that runs BIG-IP Traffic Management Operating System (TMOS) software – but it’s still BIG-IP at the core.
