F5 Delivers File Virtualisation To Mid-Range Storage Environments

F5 Networks, a player in the Application Delivery Networking (ADN) space, has announced immediate availability of the ARX2000, a new hardware platform that rounds out the F5 ARX family of file virtualisation solutions. Designed especially to meet the scalability and performance needs of mid-to-large size storage environments, the ARX2000 enables these organisations to address rapid data growth while reducing the cost and complexity of data management.

F5 has also introduced a new version of its Data Management Operating System, which provides ARX solutions with enhanced support for Microsoft/ CIFS storage environments, and enables greater scalability for tier 2 deduplication platforms.

ARX2000 Simplifies Data Management & Reduces Costs

Like the existing members of the ARX family, the ARX2000 introduces intelligent file virtualisation into the file storage infrastructure to reduce environmental complexity. Virtualisation eliminates the static mapping between client and storage resources, allowing data to move freely between resources without impacting applications or users. In addition, ARX offers policy-based management to simplify and automate data management tasks, such as data migration, storage tiering, and capacity balancing.
