Caringo Inc., a leading provider of content storage software, is among the 10 companies included in eWeek magazine’s list of technology providers poised to disrupt the storage industry, being called “The Porsche of read/write functions” on the publication’s web site December 7th.
The article by senior writer Chris Preimesberger looked at ground-breaking technological advances in various segments of the data storage industry that can offer businesses significant competitive advantages. Caringo was named a disrupter for “conventional storage companies and storage managers who will be overjoyed to get this into their systems ASAP.”
Caringo received praise for its CAStor single-tier storage architecture that delivers high performance of both active and archived fixed content data, using an example of the system’s ability to perform more than 276 million writes in a 24-hour period as capable enough to handle environments with even the highest email traffic rates. “If most systems’ performance equates to a Volkswagen, then Caringo is a Porsche,” the article reads.
“We can tell everyone in the world that we have built a better solution to managing the growing volume of fixed content data but it carries a lot more weight when an independent writer at a highly respected publication says it,” said Mark Goros, Caringo CEO. “We are pleased at the recognition we’ve received from eWeek in this end of the year review and agree with the assessment that our CAStor offers a disruptive alternative to standard storage protocols that many companies are currently saddled with. By creating an innovative solution to address today’s content explosion as well as growing requirements for compliance, we are delivering a better way to meet increasing storage demands.”
CAStor is a scalable, high-performance and extremely cost-effective software product that runs on standard, commodity disk hardware for a fraction of the price of proprietary CAS systems. CAStor is self-healing, managing and configuring, uses no proprietary APIs, and requires no provisioning or downtime to add nodes and storage in real time. With CAStor, an organization can store all its active and archive content with guaranteed integrity and can scale the content store from one terabyte to multiple petabytes – all while requiring minimal administration and seamless upgradeability.
