StorSimple - Hybrid Cloud Storage Gateway for Microsoft Apps. Ibrix reborn as HP X9000 Network Storage. HP X9000 appliances pictures from HP(c) presentation On Wednesday 4 November, HP announced a new network storage system based on the Ibrix Fusion file system called the X9000.

Ibrix reborn as HP X9000 Network Storage

Three versions were announced:X9300 gateway appliance which can be attached to SAN storage (HP EVA, MSA, P4000, or 3rd party SAN storage) and provides scale out file system servicesX9320 performance storage appliance which includes a fixed server gateway and storage configuration in one appliance targeted at high performance application environmentsX9720 extreme storage appliance using blade servers for file servers and separate storage in one appliance but can be scaled up (with additional servers and storage) as well as out (by adding more X9720 appliances) to target more differentiated application environments The new X9000 appliances support a global name space of 16PB by adding additional X9000 network storage appliances to a cluster.

A cost-effective approach for petabyte storage systems. Opinion By Julie Bellanca August 2, 2010 12:51 PM ET Some executives may be in denial though -- "My storage is only 40 terabytes, and I have it under control, thank you.

A cost-effective approach for petabyte storage systems

" Consider a storage system growing at the average rate of 10 times in five years per IDC's estimation. A system of 40TB today will be 400TB in five years, and 4 petabytes within just 10 years. Forward-thinking executives will make a strategic shift to dispersal to realize greater data protection as well as substantial cost savings for digital content storage. The IBRIX segmented file system. Ctera brings the cloud down scale. Ctera also provide an installable client for Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 that can backup open files (unfortunately there's no support yet for server versions of Windows, OS X, or Linux).

Ctera brings the cloud down scale

Versioning is supported through both automatic and manual "snapshots". As noted, this is a nice solution for workgroups and SOHO situations, but Ctera takes it a step further by making it possible to establish an account on the Ctera portal and have your C200 synchronize with Ctera's online backup service (the device also provides content encryption). This is all extremely easy to set up and manage, making it usable by organizations with limited tech support. The C200 comes with 5GB of online storage and is free for the first 30 days. After that subscriptions start at $9.95 per month for 10GB and go up to $99.95 per month for 200GB.

Very compelling. So that's it: A SAN, NAS and cloud storage solution that's simple to use, simple to manage and has very good performance, all at a reasonable price.

Sepaton Ships Storage Pooling Appliance for Cloud Services - Data Storage from eWeek. Sepaton on June 28 introduced a feature it calls "storage pooling" in a new version of its data storage and protection appliance aimed at cloud computing service providers.

Sepaton Ships Storage Pooling Appliance for Cloud Services - Data Storage from eWeek

Pooling is an approach to storage virtualization that delineates specific areas of the storage system to be dedicated to specific data flows, in order to enable more efficient multitenant service deployments. Virtualized storage systems break files into chunks of data that are dispersed into numerous data center or storage locations, and reassemble them on demand. Keeping data file chunks closer together in pools theoretically provides faster reassembly of file chunks. "Storage pooling can be set up as to disk type, where capacity can be in either 1TB or 2TB drives in separate pools, " Sepaton Marketing Director Jay Kramer told eWEEK.

Nimble's all-in-one storage combines primary and backup in one box. News July 16, 2010 03:22 PM ET Computerworld - Start-up Nimble Storage came out of the development stage this week with its first product -- an array that combines solid state drives (SSD) with high-capacity, cost and performance serial ATA (SATA) hard drives, acts as primary and backup storage and replicates offsite for disaster recovery.

Nimble's all-in-one storage combines primary and backup in one box

The array, designed by former NetApp and Data Domain executives Varun Mehta and Umesh Maheshwari, Nimble's new CS-Series dramatically reduces the cost and complexity of primary and backup storage, cuts backup and restore times from hours to seconds, and provides disaster recovery. "We combined primary and secondary storage into one box. What you get is the elimination of backup windows. Share Enterprise IT On Demand In The Cloud. Data Backup & Business Continuity Services for IT Rese. Cloud Backup « Zmanda Team Blog. While many storage clouds are built as multi-purpose clouds, e.g. to store backup files, images, documents etc., but a cloud builder may be tasked to build and optimize the cloud for a specific purpose.

Cloud Backup « Zmanda Team Blog

E.g. a storage cloud made for cloud backup may optimize for large object sizes and frequent writes, whereas a storage cloud built for storing images may be optimized for relatively smaller objects with frequent reads. OpenStack Swift provides a versatile platform to build storage clouds for various needs. As we discussed in our last blog, a cloud builder can choose faster I/O devices for storing their Container database to enhance performance under some scenarios. However, a careful analysis is required to determine under what scenarios the investment in the faster I/O devices for the container DB makes sense. More broadly, we are interested in how to properly provision the Swift cloud for different workloads.

Dropbox - Home - Online backup, file sync and sharing made easy. IBRIX Fusion. IBRIX Fusion is a scalable parallel file system combined with integrated logical volume manager, availability features and a management interface.

The software was produced, sold, and supported by IBRIX Incorporated of Billerica, Massachusetts. HP announced on July 17, 2009 that it had reached a definitive agreement to acquire IBRIX.[1] Subsequent to the acquisition, the software components of IBRIX have been combined with ProLiant servers to form the X9000 series of storage systems.[2] The X9000 storage systems are designed to provide network-attached storage over both standard protocols (CIFS, NFS, HTTP and NDMP [2]) as well as a proprietary protocol.

Architecturally, the file system is limited to 16 petabytes under a single namespace,[3] and is based upon a design described in U.S. Patent 6,782,389.
