SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - September 8, 2009) - Ocarina
Networks today announced the immediate availability of its
industry-leading storage optimization solution for Hitachi Data Systems'
latest midrange NAS models, the 3080 and 3090. The combined solution with
the Ocarina ECOsystem allows Hitachi Data Systems to deliver one of the
most advanced yet
cost-effective midrange NAS solutions in the storage industry.
The Ocarina ECOsystem for Hitachi Data Systems seamlessly integrates with
the Hitachi NAS family, including the newly released 3080 and 3090, as well
as the existing Hitachi High-performance NAS 3100 and 3200. The combined
solution provides a cost effective way for customers to keep pace with
massive data growth by dramatically increasing effective storage capacity,
with little to no impact on file serving performance.
The Ocarina ECOsystem is the world's first content-aware optimization
technology to deliver up to a 10-to-1 reduction in the size of files, such
as MS Office documents, PDFs, ZIPs, and rich media that are driving the
growth of online storage. Generic compression and block de-duplication
solutions are often unable to address the main drivers of storage growth:
media files, pre-compressed files such as Microsoft Office and ZIP, as well
as industry-specific file types for energy, film-making, and life sciences.
"The rapid growth of unstructured data, along with the need to keep files
accessible 24/7, presents serious storage challenges for our customers,"
said Miki Sandorfi, chief strategist, File and Content Services, Hitachi
Data Systems. "The Ocarina ECOsystem, combined with the scalability and
unique content tiering capabilities of the Hitachi NAS Platform family,
provides our customers a solution which allows seamless access to this data
in an extremely cost-efficient manner."
"This launch of their new midrange NAS products allows Hitachi Data Systems
and Ocarina to strengthen our presence in important markets. The seamless
integration of our content-aware compression and dedupe enables Hitachi
Data Systems to deliver storage capacity optimization capabilities that are
far more advanced than any of the dedupe solutions in the market today,"
said Dave Withers, VP of business development, Ocarina Networks.
Availability
The Ocarina ECOsystem for Hitachi Data Systems' NAS Platform Family is
available immediately from Ocarina Networks and Ocarina Networks authorized
resellers.
