Deploying Dell's DX Object Storage? Then check this out...

We are really excited about this new Dell | F5 joint solution that uses a simple iRules script to integrate BIG-IP and DX. This product combination greatly increases deployment flexibility for Dell's object storage platform and enables many of the ADC benefits that BIG-IP brings to the table.

 

 

If object storage is new to you then check out Dell's Enterprise TechCenter web site (see link below) where you will find helpful reference materials, proof-of-concept lab diagrams, test results, the essential iRule and step-by-step BIG-IP deployment guidance.

And be on the look out for an article in the March 2011 issue of Dell Power Solutions Magazine.

    Great info, Fred!

     

     

    FYI - the wiki site is now **UPDATED** with a 5-minute video demo. Scroll down about 3/4 of the page and you'll find it.

    Okay, folks -- the new Dell Power Solutions article for Dell DX Object Storage with BIG-IP is now out! We're very excited about the work Fred's been doing with the Dell DX Object Storage Team - and we hope you are as well!

     

     

    Here's a link to the pdf version of the article, "Simplifying Data Management Through Agile and Secure Cloud Storage": http://bit.ly/hu6XmU

     

     

    We would love to hear what you think about this solution -- anything on your mind? Any questions? Want Fred's autograph?

     

     

    Enjoy!
