F5 LTM Sizing - sharepoint skype exchange with ssl passthrough
Hey guys, short question. I am actually thinking about the sizing of a pair of F5 LTMs for a customer and i got some basic Information about the application/Service. We are talking about SharePoint/Skype/Exchange and i've got many datas directly from the server guys. I have this informations: L4 Connections/s Skype: unknown SharePoint: 1.600.000 L4 HTTP Req. Skype: ~25000 SharePoint: ~15000 L4 concurrenct conns. Skype: unknown SharePoint: ~1.600.000 L7 Connections/s Skype: ~900.000 Exchange: ~360.000 SharePoint: ~140.000 What model would you prefer? And there are also thoughts about using the F5 LTM in mode ssl passtrough. So the SSL Traffic would just pass the LB. Would that change anything in the needed size of the LB model/series?
MS Exchange 2013/2016 - Sizing questions - anyone with experience on SSL-TPS with 500K users?
Hello DevCentral community - I am looking for help sizing a MS Exchange environment with 500,000 users. The F5 would be performing LTM, offloading SSL with 2K certs. Application traffic is everything Exchange related - so, thick Outlook client, OWA traffic, and mail applications (POP, IMAP...). Does anyone know what we are talking for SSL-TPS w 2K certs for a user base that large? From this - I am trying to extrapolate the required equipment. (IE. a Viprion B2250 blade can handle 44000 SSL-TPS with MAX SSL license... is this enough? too much?) If anyone has experience for sizing, estimate figures, horror stories, please share. JS
