Company That Perfected Object Storage to Speak at Interop

Attendees to hear from Mark Goros, CEO and cofounder of Caringo

AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Caringo Inc. today announced that company CEO Mark Goros is a featured speaker at Interop 2011 addressing “Object-Based Storage: The Next Step?” in Lagoon D of the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas May 10 at 3:30 p.m.

“Organizations of all sizes are telling us that they have reached the limits of what filers and scale out NAS can do to store their unstructured data”

Goros will talk to attendees about the importance of object-based storage for organizations looking to store massive amounts of unstructured data while still simplifying their storage environment. The session will cover storage challenges facing enterprises today, a high-level overview of different types of storage solutions, and how and when to leverage each type of solution.

“Organizations of all sizes are telling us that they have reached the limits of what filers and scale out NAS can do to store their unstructured data,” said Goros. “Their content is simply growing too rapidly and traditional block and file-system based solutions can’t scale technically or cost effectively. Challenges of this magnitude often drive paradigm shifts in technology which is what we are seeing in the object storage space. At Interop, I look forward to sharing the insights we have gathered offering object storage solutions to over 400 customers the past 5 years.”

Caringo’s CAStor is field-proven object based storage software that was purpose built to store petabytes of unstructured data on storage clouds spanning geographies. It runs on standard x86 servers, lowering acquisition and upgrade costs while avoiding vendor lock-in. The CAStor architecture has none of the file system limitations such as file size, number of files, fork lift upgrades, migrations or rebuilds. It scales seamlessly to meet dynamic capacity demands by creating storage clouds that are self-managing and self-healing while delivering continuous data availability and dramatically reducing operational costs. CAStor’s integrated policy based replication eliminates the need for backups as multiple replicas of each data object are automatically stored, ensuring that content is always available or sent to an (optional) offsite disaster recovery (DR) location.
