Company Overview
Acopia, now a part of F5 Networks, is focused on delivering value to customers by simplifying file management. We believe that an intelligent network is the key to balancing the benefits of centralized control with the need for distributed access.
Acopia solutions allow customers to break free from the constraints that currently exist in accessing and managing file data. By automating manual file management tasks, Acopia eliminates the disruptions and downtime associated with these tasks today.
Our customers benefit from freedom of choice - freedom to use whatever storage technology they choose, freedom to access data in the most appropriate manner, freedom to move data whenever they wish.
This freedom has, in turn, allowed our customers to realize significant cost savings, extend the value of their existing file storage investment, and enhance business workflow.
Today Acopia is successfully delivering this value to customers around the world.
Acopia Networks was established in 2002 by networking and data storage experts with the goal of simplifying file storage management by transforming the role of the network. Anticipating the rapid expansion of network attached devices and applications in the data center, these visionaries recognized that an intelligent network could dramatically improve file management and network performance by automatically allocating the right resources, at the right time.
Our solutions now deliver on the company's original vision to elevate the network by providing automatic, policy-driven data migration, tiering, load balancing and replication across multi-vendor storage environments. By better managing the growth, complexity and cost of file-based information, Acopia customers are reducing management overhead and accelerating business workflow.
Acopia's patent-pending technology has been developed by a talented engineering team with extensive experience defining, designing, and introducing breakthrough products. Its technical mission was created by founder, industry visionary and serial entrepreneur, Cheng Wu.
Since releasing its first products in 2004, Acopia ARX products have won numerous awards, including TechWorld's 2006 Storage Product of the Year, Computerworld's Best Practices in Storage, Light Reading's Best New Storage Product, and Storage Magazine's Product of the Year.
