A:
Current CAS products in fact are compromising hybrids, implementing their new ideas on top of the restrictions of 25 year old file systems designed around an earlier computing model. Adding functionality in an effort to overcome these restrictions simply adds more and more complexity which spoils robustness, performance and economics.
Caringo has launched a war on complexity. By redesigning CAS from the ground up these layers of complexity have been avoided, delivering an industrial strength solution with significantly better performance and robustness.
Most current CAS products must rely on expensive proprietary hardware to deliver acceptable performance. Caringo's CAStor is a software product that runs on inexpensive commodity hardware architectures linked by standard Gigabit Ethernet. Replacing expensive and proprietary storage nodes with off-the-shelf hardware of your choice reduces overall costs significantly. Customers can leverage the fastest and most cost-effective offerings available and gain unmatched flexibility to configure and tune their storage networks to their specific requirement.
