SIMI VALLEY, Calif—January 5, 2012
--CaminoSoft Technologies, Inc.,
a leading provider of File System Archiving
solutions for Microsoft Windows, NetApp and
Novell NetWare/OES Linux, today announced that
its Managed Server HSM™ software has been
enhanced to provide primary file system
deduplication.
“CaminoSoft’s
Managed Server HSM product has focused on the
relentless relocation of inactive files to other
tiers of storage in order to keep primary
storage lean and backups running efficiently,”
said Steve Crosson, CaminoSoft’s chief executive
officer. He
continued, “One way to improve the effectiveness
of our product is to predict which files are
likely to become inactive and act on them sooner
– and duplicate files are a perfect fit.”
Crosson noted that the rising adoption of SSD
technology and recent upturn in the cost of
traditional disk storage has increased the need
for improved primary storage management.
He added that unstructured data continues
to dominate the growth in storage and Managed
Server HSM, now with deduplication, is even
better poised to ensure that only active file
content remains in costly primary storage.
“There are many deduplication products targeting
backup storage.
Only a few focus on primary storage and,
until now, none has combined deduplication with
policy-based file archiving in the way we have.
Our goal is to maximize primary data
storage reduction while minimizing impact on
performance,” said Neil Murvin, CaminoSoft’s
chief technology officer.
He added, “Early recognition and
relocation of duplicate content from primary
storage works toward that goal – and the
benefits flow downstream in the reduction of
backup time, bandwidth and media consumption.”
CaminoSoft’s storage management solutions enable
organizations to set up policies that automate
the relocation, recall and retention of inactive
and duplicate files, performing these functions
transparently from the standpoint of users. The
software, which requires minimal IT intervention
for installation and setup, supports file system
archiving across an unlimited number of storage
tiers. This allows inactive files to be
relocated from Windows, NetApp (IBM N series)
and Novell source servers to a variety of
storage targets (from simple disk to
industry-leading fixed content archival
systems). Policies
are easily administered from a central Windows
console.
Managed Server HSM -
Deduplication Edition is now available and
shipping.
