Caringo is Content Storage Simplified
Storage software re-imagined
According to leading analysts, more than half of the information stored this year will be unstructured content. New media, the internet and government regulations have created an information tidal wave.
Storage vendors are trying to store this content using 30 year old file systems. But to make them work, they have to add layer upon virtual layer of complexity. Unfortunately, complexity spoils robustness, performance and economics.
Caringo has re-imagined storage software from the ground up. "Things should be made as simple as possible." Einstein said. The result is storage node software so simple and so compact it fits on a USB memory key.
Never be locked into expensive proprietary systems again
Plug that key into the commodity hardware of your choice to build a robust, scalable CAStor parallel storage cluster. You'll never be locked into expensive proprietary systems again.
Until now it has been too expensive to store everything on fast online disk. Information Lifecycle Management is supposed to help move information from real-time to nearline to archive, but it's big and complex. Caringo's CAStor stores, keeps and protects all your reference information on a single, fast-access, scalable tier that is less expensive than tape: real-time reference information. It's simple, it's affordable and it keeps working.
Rather than complex proprietary APIs, Caringo uses a simple HTTP 1.1 subset as interface. It's instantly usable by any platform from cell phone to mainframe. No platform-specific client code needed. The results: nothing new to learn or maintain; just portable applications using a streamlined protocol.
No complex file system to slow you down
Caringo's Zero File System needs no layered complex file systems that slow down performance. Zero File System is a foundation of CAStor, Caringo's next generation Content Addressed Storage implementation by the original inventor of CAS, Paul Carpentier.
Your information's integrity is assured for true long term storage
CAStor creates a single huge, flat address space without hierarchies. Each object gets a unique id for its entire lifetime; it is not vulnerable to attacks, unlike other CAS architectures. Caringo's patent pending Content Integrity Seal protects against content attacks by transparently upgrading the integrity hash functions during operation, without ever changing identifiers or reloading data. Your information's integrity is assured for true long term storage.
Scale capacity as you grow
The need for storage grows faster than ever these days. Caringo lets you size your content storage pool as you go. Add capacity as needed— even using different hardware. Scale to huge dimensions. No downtime or migration whatsoever. No configuration, administration or other intervention.
Caringo plans to disrupt the way corporations store content. Rather than make it complex and expensive, we make it affordable, scalable, fast and easy. Welcome to the information storage revolution.
