Ocarina in the News and Blogosphere

[Data Domain] has a strong line of products which it has sold vigorously, but with two perceived weaknesses. So far it has no answer to Ocarina's content-aware compression, the ability to dedupe graphic images and videos such as JPEG and MPEG files that traditional dedupe can't touch.  [more...]

If you are looking at a primary storage optimization solution, you may want to look at some of the storage agnostic solutions like those from Ocarina Networks, Storwize or others to compliment your primary storage selection.  [more...]

Ocarina is better at data reduction than NetApp according to a commissioned Swiss Tester, being better with just deduplication and much better when its compression (content-aware optimisation) is switched on.  [more...]

Startup deduplication vendor Ocarina has extended its deduplication technology such that NAS vendors can use it to detect objects within and between files and compress them - something Ocarina says block-level deduplication can't do.  [more...]

Ocarina Optimized allows the industry's leading NAS providers to integrate and embed the Ocarina solution directly inside their own platforms, delivering up to 90% storage capacity improvements and 3-5 times better results than NetApp dedupe.  [more...]

Ocarina Networks was a finalist for the prestigious Best in Show award at BIO IT World 2009. In his keynote address, Chris Dagdigian "delivered a candid assessment of the best, the worthwhile, and the most overhyped information technologies (IT) for life sciences." Ocarina, he said, is an example of the type of technology that more and more companies are taking note of as they begin to recognize the value of some third party software to manage the increasing data loads created by the life sciences.  [more...]

NAS suppliers like BlueArc, Isilon and HP are partnering with Ocarina Networks and others to be able to deliver deduplication capabilities to their storage systems. It also allows these smaller suppliers to specialize on what they do best and not waste a lot of development cycles on adding a feature that is already available somewhere else.  [more...]

A BlueArc customer will take files from the primary or upper tiers of the Titan and, using BlueArc's lengthily-named Data Migrator with External Cross Volume Links, move files on a policy basis to the Ocarina Optimizer for BlueArc hardware appliance. It will dedupe the files and pass them back to the Titan for storage in a lower tier. They can be restored up the tiers by BlueArc's Dynamic Read Caching which, BlueArc claims, eliminates data latency as users access the data.  [more...]

Online storage optimization solutions provider Ocarina Networks recently began offering Ocarina Optimized CloudNAS based on Nirvanix's enterprise-class network-attached storage cloud software.  [more...]

Five network-attached storage (NAS) vendors looking to compete with NetApp's data deduplication for primary data have partnered with Ocarina Networks to integrate their products with Ocarina's ECOsystem storage-reduction appliances.  [more...]
