F5 VIPRION Maintenance — vendor-independent service for chassis-based BIG-IP platform after EOSL
We service F5 VIPRION chassis after F5 Premium Service or Standard Maintenance expiration — VIPRION 2400, 4400, C2200, C2400 plus B-series blades (B2100, B2150, B4300, B4450) and switch card modules. F5 EOL'd VIPRION in favor of rSeries/VELOS.
Which VIPRION models we service
VIPRION family: compact 2-slot chassis (VIPRION 2400, C2200) and larger 4-slot chassis (VIPRION 4400, C2400). F5 phased out VIPRION since 2020 in favor of rSeries (r10800, r5000) and VELOS.
Why TPM maintenance for VIPRION instead of F5 Premium Service
F5 phased out VIPRION in 2020 in favor of rSeries and VELOS. F5 Premium Service / Standard Maintenance becomes expensive or unavailable for older VIPRION generations. Banks/telcos with extensive iRules and ASM/WAF profiles need TPM bridge during migration.
We stock VIPRION 2400/4400/C2200/C2400 chassis components (switch cards, backplane, PSUs), B-Series blades (B2100/2150/2250 and B4300/4340/4450), transceivers and power modules. TMOS stays functional.
