Nov 05, 2012Hi Jmanya, the ASM is just an additional module added to your LTM. But this module needs lots of processing power as it does L7 filtering / inspection.
Main point to consider is the load received by the appliance. Under heavy load, smaller boxes will max on CPU even though the throughput is below the box limitation.
I recommend running a trail version of the ASM and perform a load test on your site. That should give you an idea of the resources used.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Santosh.
