V11 as a firewall?

I would like to move things around in my DMZs and "publish" interfaces as virtual servers between tiers on LTMs (no ASM or PSM). I thought this would improve performance as the services needed...

Indeed after years of F5 doing a great marketing job on ADC market, is obviously hard for customers to understand that BIG-IP can provide layer 3 security by itself. Hope this year with the Application Delivery Firewall strategy that problem start to fade away.

 

 

I always tell the costumers that they can save money and increase performance using f5 as firewalls as well but some of them are reluctant. Main reason: They don't know well F5 as we do, so , what a big challenge we have in the way.
