Virtualised WAN Optimization is here

While it's great to have an extreamly crippled version of LTM as a virtual edition, I think F5 need to start concentrating seriously on a commercially available version of LTM VE and other Modules. ...

I'd echo by saying that it would be helpful for us that aren't currently running VE (I'm in a Hyper-V environ...) to know what limitations you're hitting.

 

 

Another thing to think about is how even LTM can be a valuable VE "production" product -- cheap, cheap (<$1000) beefy (nehalem etc) servers with 10G LOM are here or coming, and with support for SR-IOV,RSS,VMDq could give us a very capable packet processing engine. The portability aspects of softADC, flexible licensing (leasing?), and the ability to cluster devices could fundamentally change the way we look at deploying application intelligence and load management (ADC) services.
