Third-party hardware support for F5 BIG-IP application delivery controllers — appliances that routinely outlive their support windows by years.
BIG-IP hardware is genuinely durable, and many environments run a stable TMOS version for years. Once you're not chasing software releases, the remaining need is hardware coverage.
Current and long-retired platforms alike, under a single coterminous agreement. Don't see your model? It's very likely covered — just ask.

Straight talk on where independent support genuinely helps — and where it doesn't.
Clear on this: TMOS versions, module licensing, and software support come from F5. We handle the appliance. For a BIG-IP running a stable, validated TMOS release, that's typically the whole requirement.
i2600 through i7800 appliances are widely deployed and increasingly past F5's support window. The hardware holds up well and spares are readily sourced.
Chassis-based VIPRION deployments are costly to replace wholesale. Blade-level hardware support keeps the investment productive.

Most environments run four or five vendors. Consolidating removes a great deal of administrative overhead.
