What is F5 iApp
™
?
New to BIG-IP version 11, F5 iApp is a powerful new set of features in the BIG-IP system that
provides a new way to architect application delivery in the data center, and it includes a holistic,
application-centric view of how applications are managed and delivered inside, outside, and
beyond the data center. The iApp template for VMware View acts as the single-point interface for
building, managing, and monitoring VMware View deployments.
For more information on iApp, see the White Paper F5 iApp: Moving Application Delivery Beyond
the Network: http://www.f5.com/pdf/white-papers/f5-iapp-wp.pdf.
Prerequisites and configuration notes
The following are general prerequisites and configuration notes for this guide:
h This document is written with the assumption that you are familiar with both F5 devices
and VMware View. For more information on configuring these devices, consult the
appropriate documentation.
h For this deployment guide, the BIG-IP LTM system must be running version 11.0 or later. If
you are using a previous version of the BIG-IP LTM system, see the Deployment Guide index
on F5.com. The configuration described in this guide does not apply to previous versions.
h This deployment guide provides guidance for using the iApp for VMware View found in
version 11.0 and later. For advanced users extremely familiar with the BIG-IP, there is a
manual configuration table at the end of this guide. However, we strongly recommend
using the iApp template.
h Because the BIG-IP system will be offloading SSL for the VMware View deployment, we
assume you have already obtained an SSL certificate and key, and it is installed on the BIG-
IP LTM system.
h This deployment guide contains guidance on Application Visibility Reporting. Note that
AVR is licensed on all systems, but if you wish to use it, AVR must be provisioned before
beginning the iApp template.
h If you are using or plan to use PC over IP (PCoIP), see Special note about PC over IP on
page 3
h This deployment guide is written with the assumption that VMware server(s), Virtual
Center and connection brokers are already configured on the network and are in good
working order.
