TMOS The class covers 6 key subject areas, including: Setup utility changes for BIG-IP v11 vcmp feature in v11 Configuring iapps in BIG-IP v11 High Availability in v11 (Sync-Failover Device Groups) High Availability part 2 (Traffic Groups) Folders & Sync-Only Device Groups v11 Just a quick message to let you know that your instructor did an AWESOME job on the F5 v11 virtual class this week, especially keeping it interactive. Once again Milestone exceeds all expectations of your training engineer's product knowledge and overall industry networking expertise. -- Josh P., Network Admin at an energy company What s New in v11? BIG-IP running F5 s version 11 of the TMOS operating system enables a comprehensive view of users, applications, and the network. This new approach to provisioning network services for your applications helps you better respond to changing business needs. Align Services with Specific Applications New iapps technology associates specific sets of services into perapplication policies via easy-to-use templates. Authentication, data protection, traffic management, and acceleration are provisioned as application services rather than as individual devices and objects. Deploy up to 100x Faster Preconfigured application services dramatically simplify deployment. Services move with applications as new instances are created locally, virtually, or in the cloud. Spend a lot less time and OpEx on deployment and management. Improve IT and Business Efficiency iapps Analytics give you real-time visibility into application and user performance. Assess, isolate, and address problem areas and manage resources with greater business insight.
