2. 2 What is File Virtualization? Applications and Users NAS and File Servers BEFORE Applications and Users NAS and File Servers File Virtualization AFTER Inflexible Complex Inefficient Expensive Dynamic Seamless Efficient Integrated

3. 3 SAN IP / Ethernet Where Does F5 ARX Fit ? Network-based solution –Connects to existing IP / Ethernet network Virtualizes file storage devices –Utilizes industry standard CIFS / NFS protocols –NAS, file servers, gateways –Does not connect directly to SAN but can manage file servers and gateways No changes to existing infrastructure –Appears as file server to clients and as client to file servers –No new file systems UsersApplication Servers File Servers NetApp FAS ARX

5. 5 Automated File Lifecycle Management Applications and Users Tier 1 Tier 2 Inactive and low business value Challenge –Data growth, complexity, cost, backup windows Solution –Automatically move data to most appropriate storage based on file attributes Customer benefit –More efficiently manage storage –Optimize backups NetApp benefit –Establish a competitive beachhead –Leverage and expand NetApp footprint

6. 6 Case Study: Financial Institution Environment:EMC, desire to move to NetApp Challenges:File systems at recommended maximum size, continuous growth Ineffective space management Backup environment unable to support growth rates Aged and.PST files consuming ~80% of tier 1 disk Solution:F5 ARX tiering EMC to NetApp Result:Cut daily incremental backups by 70% Data is moved between tiers without impacting users “F5 ARX was the only solution that offered a holistic approach to this problem. Some products can help with one piece, but only F5 ARX manages the movement of data in a way that allowed us to address the entire problem.” Managing Director
