Web portal for business applications - what applications can you publish?

Hi All Can anyone tell me what applications we can publish on our F5. I have a requirement for third parties to access our SAP Gui and also WMS software client from any PC. Is this something that an F5 can do? would it be APM? How easy it it to set up? cheers

BIG-IP Access Policy Manager (APM)

    First, you need to understand the requirements. LTM is for load balancing, so clients will access the application via the LTM. APM is a layer 7 proxy, so customer will send the request to APM and APM will access the application.

     

    Neither for APM or LTM there is a list of compatible applications. They may have technology requirements like APM requires HTTP applications, but those requirements are standards.

     

    You need to understand if your requirement is for LTM or APM. In relation to your question, if it is easy, it will depend on how much knowledge of F5 you already have.
