CAStor runs on the commodity hardware of your choice. Typically any X86 architecture computer with a Gig or more of RAM, 1 or more hard drives and Gigabit Ethernet.
Tuning the RAM vs disk ratio optimizes for the average file size in your applications.
The good news here is that you can mix and match hardware. As new hardware becomes available, just plug it into your CAStor cluster. Over time, you can remove the older technology if you wish or just let it continue to work for you. CAStor organically optimizes utilization of nodes in the cluster so it will make the best use of all hardware available.
Running a small cluster (let's say 10 Terabytes) in a department is as viable as running a larger cluster (let's say 100 Terabytes) in a data center. CAStor does not dictate the hardware you use. You do.
Ever dreamed of consumer-level price and performance for enterprise applications? CAStor makes it happen. You'll never be locked into one vendor's hardware again.
