The Seven Needs of Real-Time Curators

This is a guide for how we can build “info molecules” that have a lot more value than the atomic world we live in now. First, what are info atoms? A tweet is an atom. A photo on Flickr is an atom.

Dell and Caringo in OEM cahoots?

Comment Dell's DX6000 object storage platform, built using unidentified partner technologies, is set to compete with MC's Centera and Atmos products. DX software looks to be sourced from Caringo.

Caringo is a company that produces CAStor, a content-addressable storage (CAS) system in the Centera mould which is self-managing, built to turn on commodity hardware, scalable through clustering, checks the integrity of its data, and replicates its content to one or more other clusters. Data is stored as content plus a computed hash value that uniquely identifies it and enables integrity checking. It is also used to locate the data or object, replacing a file system.

Go Caringo Go!

Dell articule une vision cohérente et pragmatique du cloud

Dell a également signé avec Caringo pour utiliser sa plate-forme CAStor dans sa propre solution d'archivage de contenus en cluster, le DX6000. Ce système aura notamment pour mission de concurrencer des plates-formes comme le HCAP chez Hitachi DataSystems ou le Centerra chez EMC. Pour la petite histoire, l'un des fondateurs de Caringo n'est autre que Paul Carpentier, l'un des fondateurs de FilePool, la start-up belge acquise par EMC et dont la technologie a donné naissance au Centerra.

Caringo is goed bezig!
