The Green Genes of CAStor
By Paul Carpentier, CTO and Founder, Caringo
Abstract
The rapidly growing environmental awareness in all segments of society is causing a landslide in the positioning and marketing of IT technologies around the concept of “green.” Aspects that were previously ignored have made it to the top of the short list of decisive criteria. When considering power economics in a storage context, it is vital to look at the total picture over the entire lifetime of the data being stored. Caringo designed CAStor for this new era where power and cooling are now major defining characteristics of any storage solution. This paper demonstrates how the same architectural foundation that makes CAStor economically cost effective also makes it naturally “green”. |
