SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - July 9, 2009) - Ocarina
Networks today announced an expanded partnership with BlueArc
Corporation, highlighted by support for the company's new Mercury™
series, a premium, network storage platform that delivers capacity and
performance-optimized storage solutions to the mid-range commercial market.
BlueArc Mercury is a powerful, cost-effective file system and hardware
platform that allows mid-size companies with enterprise-sized storage
challenges to consolidate users, applications and storage systems in order
to lower the total cost of ownership (TCO).
"We've worked closely with BlueArc to develop a version of our
content-aware deduplication and compression offering for the company's
Titan NAS product line, and see the new Mercury series as a logical
extension of our partnership," said Dave Withers, VP of business
development at Ocarina Networks. "By combining Ocarina's capacity
optimization technology with BlueArc's strengths in data management,
performance and scalability, the Mercury series answers the call of the
broader market for NAS storage typically reserved for HPC deployments."
Ocarina and BlueArc recently announced the BlueArc Intelligent Tiered
Storage with Ocarina 3400 for BlueArc -- a fully integrated storage
solution that reduces the cost of storing online data archives on a BlueArc
Titan Network Storage System. Ocarina's patented content-aware storage
optimization technology combined with BlueArc's award-winning Titan storage
solutions addresses the challenge of archiving massive amounts of data
cost-effectively without sacrificing performance or adding complexity. The
Ocarina 3400 for BlueArc offers the flexibility to take advantage of a true
tiered storage strategy for exceptionally efficient archiving to the most
cost-effective and optimal storage tier. And now with BlueArc's Mercury
series, mid-market customers can also take advantage of these cost saving
benefits.
"The Ocarina and BlueArc technology is an ideal solution for customers who
are looking to do more with less in maximizing storage management and
expenditures, and are unwilling to compromise on scalability or
performance," continued Withers.
Ocarina Networks provides the industry's first solution to leverage
patented content-aware object deduplication and compression technologies to
enable capacity-optimized storage of online data.
