"AutoVirt automates the process of migrating data from physical to virtual machines without client disruption."


The Cloud As Primary Storage
Network Computing (01/19/2010)

"A downside to many NAS global file systems is that vendors only support their own systems. Stand alone file virtualization like those from F5, EMC's Rainfinity and AutoVirt could have a role to play here."


File Virtualization Evolving: Q&A with Klavs Landberg
Virtual Strategy Magazine (01/19/2010)

"File virtualization does not stop there.  Now you can move data freely – you can tier it, replicate it, or archive it.  Bottom line: Server virtualization is for consolidating applications.  File virtualization enables and provides a complete storage management solution."


What is Cloud Appropriate Data?
InformationWeek (01/15/2010)

"File virtualization systems like those from AutoVirt and F5 can provide much of the same analytics and move the data to the gateway for you, setting up a transparent link. Knowing more than just an access date is critical. Size of the file for example, may effect how aggressive you are with the transfer to the cloud. Small files you may want to archive right away since there is limited bandwidth needed to transfer them. Large files you may want to wait a little extra time to move them, to make sure they are good and cold first."


Good data storage technology won't fix bad storage habits
SearchStorageChannel.com (01/15/2010)


"Shine up your professional services offerings and go talk with your customers about file virtualization (F5, AutoVirt, Rainfinity). It’s a great way to untangle a storage mess and support some real data reduction efforts."


The best NAS strategy: Enhance customer systems by addressing three key problems
SearchStorageChannel.com (01/11/2010)

"Typically, however, users and storage administrators want more seamless integration. This is where file virtualization can be an ideal add-on for NAS environments. As we describe in our article "What is File Virtualization?,"systems from companies such as F5 and AutoVirt allow for the seamless movement of files to differing tiers of storage."


Keys to Cloud Storage Success
Network Computing (01/08/2010)

"Second, look at how you are going to get data to the cloud. File virtualization solutions like those from F5 and AutoVirt that can move file data between multiple vendor's solutions should also be able to move data to either a cloud gateway or eventually directly to the cloud by supporting the cloud vendor's API sets. "


Beware Of Cloud Transfer Costs
InformationWeek (12/18/2009)

"The third step is to make sure that the data you are moving to the cloud has reached a certain level of inactivity. This can be done with storage analysis tools or it can be done with file virtualization tools like those from F5 and AutoVirt. In the file virtualization case these solutions provide a transparent movement layer that makes managing another tier of storage transparent."


How to use NAS and block storage to improve data storage management
SearchStorage.com (Australia & U.S.) (12/12/2009)

"Without talking specifically about storage technologies, let's talk about something that you might apply to move your data and optimize your storage better today. Those are typically data classification and/or file virtualization tools – things like the F5 Networks' Acopia or EMCRainfinity. Or there's a relatively new company to that field of file virtualization, AutoVirt Inc., with solutions targeted more at the small- and medium-sized business (SMB)."


Real Benefits from Internal Clouds
ITBusinessEdge (12/09/2009)

"While it's easy to get caught up in arguments over which is the "real" cloud, internal or external, the fact is that most enterprises will probably end up with both, says Klavs Landberg, founder of file virtualization specialist AutoVirt. That means the real discussion should be about the best way to integrate the two to produce a single, smooth-running dynamic environment. Not surprisingly, he says the best way to do this is with an integrated virtual storage environment that allows data to be moved between clouds."


2010 Prediction: Klavs Landberg
Virtual Strategy Magazine (12/07/2009)

"With file virtualization facilitating the fluid exchange of data between resources, you can easily optimize your storage environment and respond to changing demands on your company’s data.  As compliance guidelines change, energy costs grow, and data continues to build, we must achieve this level of flexibility.  Seamless integration between internal and external infrastructures will be critical."

InformationWeek (10/28/2009)

"As we discussed in our white paper "Using Cloud Archive", moving data to a cloud archive is going to method a way to analyze that data for qualification for movement and a vehicle to get that data to the cloud. Many cloud providers like Iron Mountain and Nirvanix have established a mixed model cloud service where a gateway is placed in your data center. This gateway acts as a NAS to cloud translator and allows you to move data to the cloud as simply as moving data to a network mount point. This is where file virtualization systems from companies like F5 and AutoVirt come into play."
