Learning more about the BIG-IP product family
The BIG-IP platform offers many different software systems. These systems
can be stand-alone, or can run in redundant pairs, with the exception of the
BIG-IP e-Commerce Controller, which is only available as a stand-alone
system. You can easily upgrade from any special-purpose BIG-IP to the
BIG-IP HA software, which supports all BIG-IP features.
◆ The BIG-IP
The BIG-IP HA, HA+, and 5000 software provides the full suite of local
area load balancing functionality. The BIG-IP unit also has an optional
3-DNS software module which supports wide-area load balancing.
◆ The BIG-IP e-Commerce Controller
The BIG-IP e-Commerce Controller uses SSL acceleration technology to
increase the speed and reliability of the secure connections that drive
e-commerce sites.
