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 data management and offer breakthrough storage economics.
F5® ARX® Series intelligent file virtualization devices provide the foundation for flexible data mobility and automated management policies that can help organizations make the most of their investment in—and leverage the cost and management advantages of—Dell™ file storage systems. The in-line placement of ARX devices between client systems and storage makes them well suited for providing and enforcing policies related to data migration, storage tiering, capacity balancing, and more. Organizations looking to migrate their infrastructure to Dell systems can take advantage of ARX devices to support seamless integration, migration, consolidation, tiering, and load balancing on these systems.
By deploying F5 ARX Series intelligent file virtualization devices and Dell file storage systems, organizations can design infrastructures that can respond to unpredictable and inconsistent data growth. The combination of data mobility and automated policies provided by ARX devices helps dramatically simplify the processes of deploying and managing a comprehensive range of Dell file storage systems while helping maximize operational and cost savings.
