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. Great stuff and with more and more companies deploying cloud storage solutions this is a perfect fit.
