[Linden Varley]

Thanks Peter, Michael has been very helpful and we have had a Proof-of-Concept done already. So far ticks all the boxes - just doing as much due diligence as possible.

Linden,

We purchased a pair of A10 units, let us just say they blew the competition out of the water and the local support is brilliant. Just in SSL throughput alone they were 3-4x higher at half the cost.

Give Michael a call he has documentation showing you the differences in every aspect when compared to a "Small" F5 :)

Hi guys, I just wondered if anyone had any experience with A10 network's load balancers / ADCs.

They are relatively new to market in Australia and obviously quite a bit cheaper too, especially when you don't have to license each module like the BIG-IPs (GTM's, LTMs etc).

F5 are definitely market leaders, but I feel it's always good to scope out other options. Any thoughts?
