Today's storage environments are complex, inflexible, inefficient, and rapidly expanding. As the volume of unstructured data continues to skyrocket, your organization needs the ability to efficiently manage file data while keeping storage costs in check.

F5 ARX file virtualization devices enable you to dramatically simplify data management and reduce storage costs. By introducing intelligent file virtualization into the file storage infrastructure, ARX eliminates the disruption associated with storage administration and automates many storage management tasks. The result is a dramatic improvement in cost, agility, and business efficiency.

• Reduce storage expenses
• Decrease backup time and cost
• Optimize existing storage assets
• Gain storage flexibility and choice
• Simplify data management 

File Virualization Flash Demo

Most file-sharing technologies were designed for use in a single location, over a wired local area network (LAN). They run much slower over wide area networks (WANs), such as the Internet.

WANJet is a powerful, appliance-based solution that delivers fast, steady, predictable performance for all users on a WAN. WANJet overcomes the limitations of wide area networks, helping with file transfers and data replication between data centers and branch offices. By installing a WANJet at each end of a connection, file transfers take place at nearly the speed of a wired local area network. Application performance is also comparable to what users would experience on a hard-wired LAN.

Customers deploying WANJet with SRDF can:

• Dramatically accelerate data replication traffic while using less bandwidth resources
• Prioritize critical traffic over non-critical traffic and manage bandwidth utilization
• Mitigate the effects of latency and packet loss
• Meet aggressive Recovery Point Objectives (RPO) and Recovery Time Objectives (RTO)

As your application delivery infrastructure expands to meet the demands of your business, deploying and managing multiple devices can add complexity and cost that reduce the efficiency of your deployments.

Enterprise Manager is a centralized management appliance for F5 BIG-IP^® devices that gives you a consolidated, real-time view of your entire F5 application delivery infrastructure, plus the tools you need to quickly optimize performance and scale your infrastructure to meet business needs.
