CIO Conversation – John Matthews On Intelligent File Management

DevCentral Interview — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 22:06:52 GMT

IT organizations in every industry face a common set of challenges as they work to keep the business up and running. Like many companies, F5 Networks was experiencing a host of problems related to the rapid growth of unstructured file data. Spending on storage was rising quarterly, routine management tasks required frequent user interruptions and backups were taking 96 hours to complete.

After adding the ARX technology to its product portfolio via an acquisition, F5 put the solution to work in its own environment. Listen to this podcast to hear F5 CIO and Vice President of IT John Matthews explain how the ARX solution enabled the company to dramatically reduce storage costs, even as data storage continued to grow. Through the use of intelligent file management, the IT team slashed backup times to just 4 hours. Downtime is a rare occurrence instead of a regular event, and the IT organization was able to introduce vendor diversity into its environment. The icing on the cake for a CIO? An ROI of less than 4 months.
