| Caringo Announces Availability of CAStor Content Router Caringo announces the general availability of CAStor Content Router enabling organizations to distribute content based on business rules they define. The Content Router allows administrators and application providers the ability to set metadata values to mirror content in clusters, replicate over distance for disaster recovery (DR) as well as to intelligently distribute specific content to remote clusters such as at branch offices. The Content Router leverages a powerful rules engine to filter metadata that defines how to process and where to store the content based on metadata values. Rules can be set to distribute content to specified remote clusters and ensure it is locally available to users at branch office or edge network locations or process content with third-party applications - such as virus scanning, indexing, compression and encryption. It provides flexibility in configuration to roll-up content from clusters located at remote offices to a central facility in one-to-one, one-to-many or many-to-one scenarios. Applications can automatically fail-over to a remote cluster in an emergency to ensure continuous data availability and accessibility. The Content Router and rules engine leverage metadata to make intelligent decisions to optimize the storage, recovery and protection of each file within the CAStor cluster. CAStor is based on a third-generation content addressable storage (CAS) architecture. This unique approach to storage enables implementation of a storage cluster that can scale from 1TB to Petabytes as a single tier of storage that also delivers near perfect scaling in performance. Its non-proprietary hardware approach provides customers flexibility and freedom of choice in building an affordable clustered storage infrastructure. CAStor's archive features ensure content authenticity, retention and integrity to meet compliance mandates and combined with Content Router, customers will realize even greater levels of content protection and availability. write your comments about the article :: © 2008 Networking News :: home page |
