Does anyone recall the old Dell/F5 relationship that lead to the “PowerAPP” appliances?
I did a quick search to see if anything on the web remained of these relics, and came up with a blast from the past:

Look at how ancient these goliaths are! Compaq ProLiant, AlphaServer, Himalaya just to name a few are from this era. I ran into one of these devices and noticed something rather remarkable, and certainly a true testament to what enterprise gear should be. I could ramble on about the quality of the datacenter it is housed on or the neglect/lack of OS upgrades but hey, it is a dev box- that’s expected. Checkout this uptime
My introduction to BIG-IP was on Dell poweredge BIG-IP’s back in ‘02. My, how time flies.
