This is where virtualization technology can be employed in a new way to make a radical difference. You can see visually on the “after” picture here that a separation, a decoupling, has taken place. Immediately you notice that we no longer have all those discrete mount points to every file system; instead there is a reduced number of mount points – the client really only needs a single mount point – to a virtual file system which represents all the physical file systems below it. This is a much simpler environment. But secondly, this virtualization layer shields the users and applications from any changes that may take place below it. That is to say that now administrators are free to provision storage, or decommission servers, or move data – all without affecting users and applications. No disruption. No downtime. User and application access to file data is now decoupled from the physical location of that data, and that is really the essence of file virtualization. * * * The WebAcclerator product offers the industry’s most advanced web application acceleration through F5’s unique Validated Web Application acceleration policies and Intelligent Browser Referencing technologies.
