There are 3 categories of hardware F5 offers, iSeries, standard series, and VIPRION. iSeries refers to the new hardware utilizing customizable FPGA architecture, the standard series is the traditional chassis we've always offered, and VIPRION was the product name used to define our modular chassis and blade hardware. They're all part of F5's hardware offering.

 

It's a marketing and product management naming decision over any technical requirements.
