The new Elastic Content Protection™, CloudScaler™ and Indexer products, together with the market-leading Object Storage Platform powered by CAStor®, positions Caringo because the only vendor to give a stack of software appliances that interact to offer cloud storage flexible enough to exploit for personal or public clouds and seamlessly scalable from terabytes to petabytes. By providing the total stack, Caringo is in a position to ensure high performance, simple management and interoperability between all components, significantly reducing the complexity linked to open source or cobbled together solutions.

Elastic Content Protection (ECP): Provides the storage industry’s most comprehensive data protection functionality that expands or contracts to fulfill any storage SLA, footprint or accessibility requirement irrespective of capacity or file count.
- Protects terabyte to exabyte scale storage by creating copies (replication) or by dividing original data and parity segments in a technique that data might be recovered with a subset of total segments using less capacity and operational resources than yet another copy (erasure coding)
- Enables the definition of specific levels of protection for various business requirements – use replication for smaller files/clusters or for ‘hot’ frequently accessed files, and erasure coding for larger scale storage
- Uniquely integrated into Caringo’s symmetric architecture so there are not any specialty nodes or single points of failure and all nodes take part in recovery
- Multi-threaded striping ensures that data protection operations don’t impact performance
- Results in 40-70% more efficient space utilization reckoning on protection scheme and use case

CloudScaler: Enables a company to supply public or private cloud storage as a service. A software gateway appliance that extends the thing Storage Platform with secure multi-tenant features including authentication and authorization of access on a per-call basis, quotas, bandwidth and capacity metering and the flexibility to integrate into 3rd party billing systems.
- A web-based portal for administrators that allows robust tenant management and a scalable portal for end users that offers granular object management
- Can be integrated with Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), Access Directory (AD) for user authentication
- Leverages CAStor integrated WORM, integrity seal and auditable access functionality to give compliant storage
- Can be configured as public, private or hybrid cloud storage
Indexer: Provides robust insight and intelligence into data stored within the Object Storage Platform.
- A NoSQL data store that indexes all objects in a CAStor cluster and allows searching by filename, universal unique identifier or metadata
- Integrates with CloudScaler portal to give the info in a graphical user interface
- Enables powerful insight being able to look into varying views of information stored
The addition of those three new products solidifies Caringo’s position because the industry leader in multi-tenant, cloud storage. Simple, powerful and efficient object storage which is like S3, but fast, safe and secure for your data center.
“Enterprise storage is at a crossroads,” said Mark Goros, CEO of Caringo. “Traditional file-based storage was not designed for the large capacities and ubiquitous access requirements which can be now expected in every organization. Our complete cloud storage software solution enables any enterprise to optimize storage deployments securely of their data center with access from any platform. System administrators can now manage a petabyte cluster in half-hour delivering elasticity to backend infrastructure along with front end usage.”
