| ElasticDrive Chooses Nirvanix's Storage Delivery System Nirvanix announces that ElasticDrive has chosen its Storage Delivery System optimized for media applications to serve as a key component of the company's infinitely scalable remote storage system. Nirvanix provides web developers with the ability to utilize Internet-mounted remote storage resources in a variety of innovative uses, including disk mirroring, backups, content replication, load balancing, web caching and more. ElasticDrive is a distributed remote storage application that allows users to access their data regardless of location with the assurance that their business-critical information is safely stored and protected. ElasticDrive makes it possible for the Nirvanix remote storage service to behave like a local hard drive, creating a cost effective and safe method to mirror or back up information to several places in real time. Developers can use Nirvanix as a block device like any other local storage device, formatting it with a file system of their choice and mounting it to a directory or in a mirrored RAID device. Nirvanix provides businesses with next-generation storage-as-a-service, and is addressing the challenges associated with the explosive growth of user-generated content and the corresponding demand for storage. The Nirvanix Internet-scale storage delivery service, powered by the company's patent-pending Internet Media File System (IMFS), empowers developers with a powerful, yet affordable solution for storing and distributing user-generated content and other digital media. It provides dynamic load balancing for peak performance; intelligent uploading/downloading to accelerate access; clustered architecture for enhanced data protection; and global namespace for unlimited scalability. The platform is fully redundant in every layer of its infrastructure, includes RAID-6 data protection, is supported by 24/7 operations, and comes with the industry's first guaranteed service level agreement (SLA). write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Networking News :: home page |
