This 2 day course gives network administrators, network operators, and network engineers a functional understanding of the BIG-IP system as it is commonly deployed in an application delivery network. The course introduces students to the BIG-IP system, its configuration objects, how it processes traffic, and how typical administrative and operational activities are performed. The course includes lecture, hands-on labs, interactive demonstrations, and discussions.

Who should attend 

This course is intended for network administrators, operators, and engineers responsible for managing the normal day-to-day operation and administration of a BIG-IP application delivery network. This course presents the prerequisite knowledge for many other of F5’s BIG-IP instructor-led training courses.

F5 Networks Administering BIG-IP Training Course in Malta

Officially known as the Republic of Malta, is an island country in the Mediterranean Sea, South of Sicily. While Malta being the world's tenth smallest country in area and fourth most densely populated sovereign country, the capital city of the island country is Valletta. Malta consists of three islands: Malta, Gozo, and Comino and Malta is the largest island among all. The official languages of Malta are Maltese and English and based on the data from 2019, the population is about 514,564.

Winter season in Malta is delightfully mild, with temperatures above 12 degrees, so it makes the Maltese Islands a perfect year-round destination. But tourists usually prefer traveling to Malta either in April, May or June. Since in those months, Malta is warm without being too hot. In the early Spring season, travelers may also enjoy the glorious wildflower season.

Enhance your IT skills with our comprehensive array of courses, spanning programming, software development, data science, and project management. Benefit from the convenience of choosing your preferred location in Malta as our experienced instructors deliver interactive training and real-world insights.
