Caringo Delivers Storage Cluster in a Box with CAStor 3.0
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) April 29, 2009 -- Caringo Inc., the leading provider of clustered storage software for accessing, storing and distributing content, today announced the release of CAStor 3.0, featuring storage node virtualization. Now, using multi-core processors, customers can run virtual CAStor nodes in a single, physical server chassis. CAStor Cluster in a Box optimizes the high density servers businesses are clamoring for today. To kick off the advances in CAStor 3.0, Caringo is offering a download of 4 terabytes of storage capacity allowing technology professionals to experience its simplicity, scalability and reliability.
CAStor 3.0 is designed to optimize today's high-density servers that come with as many as twenty-four hard drives for scale-out file and cloud storage. Assign a portion of the drives within a server to each virtual CAStor node to optimize efficiency and experience screaming performance. As an example, one server with twenty-four 1TB drives and a quad-core processor becomes four 6TB nodes or a virtual Storage Cluster in a Box. CAStor 3.0 includes an updated and streamlined administrative console with simple cluster-wide management of physical and virtual storage nodes. Download 4TB4Free of CAStor from Caringo's web site and implement clustered storage starting with just a single server.
