EmployeeThe i5800 supports (max) 58 single-core vcmp guests (which are very limited performance-wise). That means 28 guests with a control plane and data plane CPU.
How many simultaneous DNS connections do you need to support? How many zones/records?
How many virtuals/connections do your LTMs need to support? How much SSL do you need to handle? Do you want memory-hungry irules?
The best approach is to talk to your F5 Account team about guest sizing and future requirements (maybe ASM or AFM etc).
