File Virtualization
File virtualization is the use of an abstraction layer to decouple access to files from the physical location of those files. Once files are virtualized, organizations can simplify access to data, optimize the use of existing storage resources, and share files across heterogeneous storage devices. File virtualization also gives organizations the flexibility to change file storage platforms to meet changing business and IT requirements.
The F5 Acopia ARX® device is a scalable, real-time file virtualization device.
