F5 helps Orbital Sciences for Storage Growth

F5 Networks has announced that Orbital Sciences Corporation has deployed the F5 ARX solution to control rising data storage costs and increase operational efficiencies. Orbital’s use of ARX to address its storage challenges has earned the company a spot as a finalist in the ‘Best Practices’ awards program, sponsored by Storage Networking World, in conjunction with Computerworld and the Storage Networking Industry Association.

Tom Hall, Senior Director of Information Services, Orbital Sciences said, “I run across very few technologies that perform exactly the way they are marketed. ARX is one of them. It certainly has met our expectations and continues to impress us with capabilities we weren’t aware of.”

“Orbital’s experiences and CapEx and OpEx savings mirror what we see every day in organizations that deploy ARX,” said Nigel Burmeister, Director, Product Marketing, F5 Networks. “Data growth creates tremendous pressure on storage budgets and on the IT team. ARX gives these organizations a lifeline, making it possible to simplify data management, reduce costs, and improve business agility and efficiency.”
