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?
Block Skype File Transfer with SWG
Dear all, under Access Policy -> Secure Web Gateway -> Applications, there were only skype, login, update for Instant Messaging category. Latest database downloaded for v12. Would like to ask if anyone has this requirement of blocking only file transfers on Skype but allow voice and chat functions. There are other ways to do this such as editing the end point's registry but would like to know blocking of transfer function can be done at SWG level. Thanks!
