Automated Storage Tiering:  F5 Acopia solutions automate the movement of data between tiers of storage, and the placement of data on appropriate tiers of storage, irrespective of platform or vendor. Organizations can lower the cost of storage and shrink backup and recovery windows by automatically placing data on appropriate storage devices without affecting access to the data.

Dynamic Load Balancing: F5 Acopia solutions dynamically distribute application workload across multiple file storage devices, eliminating "hotspots" or bottlenecks. Companies can improve application performance and increase productivity using the infrastructure that is already in place.  

Efficient Data Replication: F5 Acopia solutions provide the ability to replicate files between heterogeneous storage platforms for efficient and cost effective disaster recovery and centralized backup applications.
