| Moonwalk Partners with Caringo Moonwalk announces that it has created a joint solution with Caringo's CAStor clustered storage platform to enable the fast and easy data migration from expensive proprietary Content Addressed Storage (CAS) systems to a cost-effective, high-performance CAStor environment. Moonwalk's data management and migration engine helps customers reduce capital expenditures by intelligently migrating data from expensive primary storage volumes, file shares and other CAS archives to a more affordable CAStor environment built around commodity hardware and a unique flat file address space. CAStor also does away with the complexities of hierarchical storage management with a single-tier architecture that treats all disks in a CAStor cluster as primary storage while delivering all the attributes of an archive. The result is a massively scalable clustered storage environment with the cost efficiencies of secondary storage, the high-performance of primary storage, and integrity for compliance archiving. Moonwalk software delivers data management with metadata-level precision for all information on network storage, servers and clients. It proactively migrates, copies and moves data according to user-defined rules and policies based on criteria such as age, size, file type, file name, file creator and many more granular classification rules. Moonwalk operates across and between all major file systems, including Windows, UNIX, Linux and Netware environments, and all primary and secondary storage environments. Its stateless architecture requires no additional overhead and is completely transparent to users and applications, with no introduced points of potential failure to ensuring maximum performance and availability. Caringo's disruptive CAStor technology is built on an innovative, 3rd generation CAS architecture, delivering the most complete set of features to address the content explosion as well as the growing requirements for compliance. It provides WORM storage, content integrity and authenticity meeting regulatory mandates such as SEC17a4 and HIPAA. CAStor is a content storage software that runs on standard, commodity x86 hardware enabling users to build massive storage clusters without the vendor lock-in of traditional storage products. The result is a clustered storage solution with unmatched scalability, data integrity, performance and reliability that dramatically reduces the TCO of enterprise storage. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Networking News :: home page |
