Simple, Affordable and Massively Scalable Storage
CAStor is a scalable, high performance and extremely cost effective object-based storage software that runs on any x86 hardware. Storage clusters can be built on blades, towers, PCs and servers. The form factor is immaterial. CAStor enables “cluster in a box” by taking advantage of multi-core processers in which a virtual storage node runs in each core. It delivers the performance demands necessary for cloud storage and various file workloads up to HPC environments as well as all the features and functionality you expect in archive storage for information governance and compliance.
Web applications and business applications such as e-mail archiving, enterprise content management (ECM), medical imaging and genomic research can seamlessly integrate with CAStor using its simple HTTP interface. |

 Start with a few nodes and grow to petabytes
Plug the CAStor USB memory key into a server node, turn it on and 60 seconds later, the CAStor server is up and running. Repeat as often as necessary to implement the size environment you require for content storage. CAStor scales from a few server nodes and 1.5TB up to hundreds of nodes and over 1PB.
No provisioning, configuring or impact to your applications
CAStor automatically configures and manages your cluster. When you need to upgrade hardware simply power up a more powerful node and retire an older node while the system is up and running! There is no need to stop the system, migrate your data or do any conversions. This operational ease and scalability in itself is enough to make many users choose CAStor.
All nodes work together as a cohesive unit
All nodes in the cluster function as a cohesive unit delivering scale on two critical dimensions, performance and capacity.
Stored files are automatically replicated
All files are replicated by default in CAStor. If one disk goes down, there is always another copy. The system will automatically detect and re-replicate your file in the background. In fact, the larger the cluster, the faster the recovery will be. There is no longer any need to waste time and money on RAID configurations. CAStor clusters can recover significantly faster than RAID.
