What new trends and technologies have emerged within the data center

space?



With growing virtualization, theres efficiency in the underlying hardware

requirements. Now lesser hardware is needed to do the same work. This is one of

the major factors that would be driving the evolution of data centers.

Virtualizing servers not only realize tremendous cost savings, but also have a

better architecture for availability and ongoing maintenance. The next two years

will bring significant change within the context of the data center.

What are the key challenges businesses face today while managing and

securing their data?



The various challenges companies face today can be categorized under six

areasapplication security and data integrity; business continuity and disaster

recovery; user experience and application performance; storage growth; unified

security enforcement and access control; and managing scale and consolidation.

The certification programs help individuals and partners provide effective

pre-sales assistance as well as installation and support services. These

programs include coursework, examinations, and performance objectives designed

to give participants a solid technical understanding of the concepts required

for design and implementation.

What is F5s strategy for the coming months?



Today we have extended our virtualization benefits in the network. Storage

is an adjacent, high-growth market to application delivery driven by the

explosive growth in IT storage capacity as well as escalating management costs.

New methods are needed to allow growth while maintaining control, as the storage

infrastructure is being bombarded and the growth of these same applications in

the enterprise are expected to continue growing for some time.
