How to get a F5 BIG-IP VE Developer Lab License

Dustin,

Thank you

for taking the time to chime in here.

Dustin

and his sales partner, Paul, are two amazing people who have gone out of their

way to ensure the teams where I work have a full understanding (as much as

needed) of their products and have the support we need.

Dustin,

when your average engineer looks for an F5 reseller, all Google serves up is

CDW. While I got my lab licenses through CDW, CDW had no way of selling

follow-on support service.

This type

of support would be valuable to the F5 community:

·       a list of retailers that have verified they are willing to sell lab licenses to individuals

·       Verification from those retailers that they will sell support licenses to individuals

·       a validated Point Of Contact list for the correct team or person in each company who can assist with these sales

Dustin, you

and I can take this offline if you wish. With your assistance, I would be happy

to develop and validate such lists. For now, I believe a small group of five to

ten such companies would be welcomed by the F5 community.

Would

anyone else like to chime in? I plan to have a conversation with Dustin this

week.

John
