What Are The CTOs of F5-Acopia and AutoVirt Talking To Each Other About?
Posted by Klavs on Thu, Nov 05, 2009 @ 10:29 AM
Rick Gillett, the CTO of F5-Acopia, and I met by accident at SNW and we continued our conversation afterwards by email. We had some interesting exchanges – discussing in detail the differences and benefits of our respective solutions for file virtualization. We also talked a little about boats and lake front real estate in the New Hampshire area, but that would be less interesting to anyone else.
The real point is that we are both rapidly building momentum in the marketplace - file virtualization technologies are alive and well, and the industry is growing. Customers have by and large completed their server virtualizations and they are now focusing on manageability of their vast file systems. The industry has solved the hardest challenges and it is creating file virtualization products that are cost effective, easy to use, scalable, non-disruptive, and supportable. The time is now.
Two winning solutions have emerged - ARX is the leading in-band solution and AutoVirt is the leading out-of-band solution. As they say, a rising tide lifts all boats. The fact that we are communicating is remarkable and that will ultimately benefit everyone. Management of file data is a huge and pervasive problem that deserve all the help it can get.
