Under the terms of the program, customers who purchased a NeoPath File Director product prior to March 12, 2007 are eligible for a purchase credit towards an equivalent or greater Acopia product.  The purchase credit is in addition to any pre-negotiated Acopia customer discount.  The program runs through June 30, 2007.

Acopia's FreedomFabric software, combined with its award-winning ARX series intelligent file virtualization platforms - including the ARX 6000, ARX 1000, and ARX 500, provides the basis for enforcing powerful automated intelligent data management policies, including:

- Non-disruptive data migrations move data across heterogeneous storage devices to facilitate seamless server consolidation, platform upgrades, and vendor switches.
- Automated storage tiering places data on the appropriate storage tier automatically and manages the data lifecycle over time, reducing capital expenditures (CAPEX) and shrinking backup and recovery windows.
- Efficient data replication of file data between heterogeneous storage devices for more efficient and cost effective disaster recovery.
- Dynamic load balancing distributes demand across existing storage devices dynamically, improving application performance.
