| Overview: | 
This two-day course gives networking professionals an understanding of how to architect and design BIG-IP devices into an application delivery network.
The course builds on the foundation of the BIG-IP Local Traffic Manager (LTM) Essentials and Advanced Topics courses, demonstrating the next steps for implementing BIG-IP in a way that effectively delivers your client applications.
The labs for the course involve design exercises and group discussions.
Based on the knowledge gained in other BIG-IP LTM courses, you will work with other students to build network designs that incorporate BIG-IP LTM to accomplish customer goals.
The course will cover many network design options, as well as best practices for given customer scenarios.
The course will also explore other design options available using BIG-IP Global Traffic Manager, BIG-IP Link Controller, BIG-IP Application Security Manager, BIG-IP Message Security Module, and BIG-IP Web Accelerator.
