| Caringo Reunites Co-Founders of CAS Caringo has announced the hiring of Jan Van Riel as its VP of Advanced Technology, reuniting him with fellow co-founder of Content Addressable Storage, Paul Carpentier, Caringo's CTO. Van Riel and Carpentier together invented the technology that created the CAS industry while they were partners at FilePool, a company they sold to EMC, which incorporated the CAS concept into its multimillion-dollar Centera. Van Riel served eight years as EMC's Director of Technology following the acquisition of FilePool, where he was the company's CTO. The software expertise of these two innovators over a span of 25 years will positively impact Caringo's future as well as shake up and advance the state of content storage software. Before FilePool, Van Riel was VP of Engineering and co-founder of Wave Research, with Carpentier, where they invented FileWave, the first automated, model-driven software distribution and management system. Prior to that, Van Riel led engineering as co-founder of Gnosis/Technosis, again with Carpentier, where the two invented SequeLink, the first client/server middleware product to connect heterogeneous front ends to multiple databases. Van Riel holds a collection of storage-related patents. He earned a Masters Degree in Industrial Engineering with a specialty in Electronics and Computer Science. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Networking News :: home page |
