F5 ARX File Virtualization

The torrid rate of growth in file data is elevating the strategic importance of smart data management in the eyes of IT professionals. Businesses and other organizations are generating data faster and retaining it for longer than ever—but in many environments, the traditional strategy of constantly adding capacity no longer scales well enough to handle this accelerated growth.

Bridging the gap between rapid data growth and constrained IT budgets, Dell and F5 Networks have partnered to help organizations build dynamic storage infrastructures that can simplify management and offer breakthrough storage economics.

File virtualization using F5 ARX Series devices provides the foundation for flexible data mobility, while automated management policies intelligently move files based on data value. This combination of nondisruptive file movement and automation can help organizations make the most of their investment in—and leverage the cost and management advantages of—Dell file storage systems.
