File Storage Constraints Today's file storage environments comprise a complex collection of storage platforms, file systems and operating systems that result in isolated islands of storage. Frequent outages occur when data is moved or new storage is provisioned due to the dependencies between clients and storage resources. Low aggregate utilization rates are common. Burgeoning capacity demands increase the operational overhead associated with file storage management. F5 Acopia ARX® devices allow you to break free from these constraints by introducing intelligent file virtualization into the file storage infrastructure -- eliminating the disruption associated with storage administration and automating many storage management tasks. The result is a dramatic improvement in cost, agility and business efficiency. Simplify File Storage with the F5 Acopia ARX Series. F5 Acopia ARX devices are high performance, highly available, intelligent file virtualization systems that dramatically simplify file storage management.
