Coraid + Caringo
Structured and Unstructured Data on the Same Hardware
Coraid the leading developer of Ethernet SAN solutions and Caringo® Inc., the market leader in object storage software, have partnered to offer the first unified storage infrastructure for scale-out block and object storage. The combined solution provides enterprises with unrivaled operational flexibility by integrating the scalability and ease of management of object storage with elastic, high-performance Ethernet SAN storage. The joint solution is ideally suited for cloud computing, video and big data environments.
Reduced Complexity and Economical Scale
By combining Ethernet SAN and object storage the complexity and costs associated with supporting disparate storage solutions is significantly reduced. Caringo's object storage software enables a scale-out pool of shared storage with powerful features for data protection, disaster recovery, data distribution and multi-tenant management across multiple sites. The addition of Coraid Ethernet SAN storage delivers an elastic, automated cloud architecture that can scale out economically to handle petabytes of data, with the performance of storage over Ethernet.
Flexibility through High Performance AoE
The Coraid EtherDrive family of SAN products is built upon ATA-over-Ethernet (AoE), and provides the capability to build SANs with lower-cost, standard technologies. Caringo has integrated the AoE software drivers to allow CAStor to write objects to Coraid EtherDrive storage arrays. This approach gives businesses the flexibility to choose the best storage method based on data access and business requirements.
Simplified Management and Administration
Block and object storage applications can now share the same Ethernet SAN storage arrays. This unified approach means that there is no need to hire staff with specialized skills or to modify existing processes. There is no change to provisioning, maintaining or monitoring storage; they all remain the same.
