Storage infrastructure worldwide is now under threat from the explosive growth of unstructured data such as email, documents, graphics, and other media-rich files. Ocarina Networks helps organizations cope with these skyrocketing data loads.
This may sound familiar: you have gone from gigabytes to terabytes, with petabytes just around the corner. Your existing storage is pushed to the limit. You’re forced to add more storage on a regular basis and to purchase new disk and rack space, while dealing with rising costs for power, cooling and administrative talent. Backups are pushing the 24 hour barrier, and impose a heavy performance burden on the whole system.
Ocarina’s groundbreaking compression and dedupe technology works at the primary storage layer to reduce data, resulting in savings of 30-75% in capacity, CapEx and OpEx. For companies facing major storage growth, the Ocarina ECOsystem is truly a lifesaver.
Ocarina Networks was purchased by Dell, Inc. in July 2010 to be embedded in a variety of Dell storage platforms.
