About the VIPRION platform
The VIPRION
®
platform is a robust system that is capable of managing
traffic for any size of enterprise. It consists of a unique chassis/blade
configuration. This configuration enables you to add, remove, and change
components on the fly, without interrupting the essential services of the
BIG-IP
®
software installed on the platform. Everything from the blades to
the power supplies, the fan tray to the LCD panel, is available for you to
add, remove, or change as needed.
The VIPRION platform is highly extensible and designed to be easy to
implement; however, having some familiarity with the components of the
VIPRION platform can ensure that you install and integrate the platform
successfully and effectively.
Note
If you have not already done so, we recommend that you read the Setting
Up the VIPRION
™
Platform guide. This guide provides a detailed
explanation of how to unpack, rack, install components, and power the
platform.
