This is not true at all. You can install one SSL certificate on all the web
servers in the farm. It does not cost anything more than BigIP. Instead,
BigIP also needs to purcahse SSL ID for its SSL termination card.
The card was made by Rainbow Technology in Orange, California
and it is an additional $6000 out from your business pocket. It can only
handle 120 to 200 transaction per second, compared with LVS
there is no actual limit for number of trasactions, BigIP actually is
too small in its functions.
