Innovative Intelligent File Virtualization Solutions
F5 Acopia® award-winning intelligent file virtualization solutions decouple file access from physical file location, giving you the freedom to move data at your convenience, the freedom to place data at your discretion, and the freedom to choose storage technology that best meets your business needs - all without application, or business, disruption.
Our ARX® products integrate seamlessly into existing Network Attached Storage (NAS), Windows®, UNIX® and Linux environments. These devices provide industry-leading scalability, performance and reliability, and are specifically designed to meet the needs of enterprise storage environments.
The ARX devices are powered by F5 Acopia FreedomFabricTM software, which automates many management tasks that are performed manually today, and eliminates the disruption associated with those tasks. FreedomFabric's powerful suite of storage management policies simplify access to data, and make it easier than ever to migrate, tier,balance, and replicate file data.
Simplified Access
Hundreds or thousands of client-to-resource mappings can be consolidated down to a much more manageable number. Even more importantly, these logical mappings need never change - they are persistent. Storage management tasks such as provisioning, consolidation and migration can be performed without requiring client reconfiguration.
Added Flexibility
Data is no longer bound to physical storage resources and can be moved at will, without impacting the client access to that data.
Optimized Utilization
Excess capacity can be shared transparently across existing systems, without affecting clients, maximizing utilization of the existing resources.
Freedom to Choose
File virtualization provides 'freedom of choice' and flexibility to utilize and change file storage vendors to meet business and IT requirements over time. Removing many inherent barriers to infrastructure change helps reduce vendor lock-in. Intelligent file virtualization enables enterprises to more efficiently access, manage, and optimize file storage resources.
