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.
