RAID Incorporated Announces Technology Partnership with CaminoSoft for
Data and Storage Management Solutions
Release Date: February 5, 2007
Methuen, MA - RAID Inc., a leading manufacturer of custom storage solutions
and managed storage services, today announced that its storage arrays
have been certified to operate with Managed Server HSM™ software
offered by CaminoSoft Corp. (OTC.BB: CMSF), a leading provider of tiered
storage solutions for Microsoft Windows 2000/2003 and Novell NetWare environments.
“CaminoSoft’s storage management software,
combined with RAID’s Magellan, X-class and Falcon series products,
provides solutions that scale from small/medium business to enterprise-level
applications. These cost-effective solutions enable organizations to address
the rapid expansion of data and management of storage resources,”
said Richard Krueger, vice president of marketing & alliances at CaminoSoft.
“We are pleased to establish this partnership, which enhances the
market potential for Managed Server HSM software and RAID’s high-performance,
high-capacity storage lineup.”
CaminoSoft’s Managed Server HSM software allows organizations to
establish comprehensive administrative policies that reclaim primary storage
resources for active files, dramatically reduce backup and recovery time,
control file retention, and facilitate governance and regulatory compliance.
With CaminoSoft’s server-based solutions, administrators can readily
configure policies governing usage of virtualized storage pools without
user interruption or involvement. In the background, Managed Server HSM
automatically monitors server volume activity and dynamically assesses
watermarks against real-time storage utilization to make decisions about
migrating files that are infrequently accessed.
The result is that organizations can now automate file migration and retrieval
from primary to secondary and tertiary storage, gain immediate and seamless
access to migrated files, and achieve full administrative control over
migration activity via policy maintenance. This operation is transparent
from the perspective of system users, who continue to read and write files
on the same servers, volumes and folders as they always have.
“We are excited to partner with CaminoSoft to create a seamless
ILM solution. Users can now combine our enterprise class storage with
CaminoSoft’s Managed Server HSM software, with several excellent
options including fibre channel, SAS and SATA solutions that deliver storage
scalability, redundancy and speed to dramatically reduce backup and recovery
time,” stated Robert Picardi, chief operating officer of RAID Incorporated.
RAID’s Magellan series addresses the
unique requirements of long-term data storage expansion by offering administrators
a modular approach to deploying tiered storage solutions for applications
that require storage performance, high availability and cost-effectiveness.
Customer’s can increase capacity as businesses grow with the option
to add up to 60 drives. The Magellan offers a SAS/FC host and SAS/SATA
drives which can be configured to balance performance with capacity, offering
a flexible, cost-effective storage system with no single point of failure.
RAID also offers more robust fibre channel solutions with its X-class
line of products, as well as its popular Falcon
series SATA-2 line of storage. “Partnering with CaminoSoft was an
important initiative for both RAID and its customers who are looking at
solutions for managing their data. RAID’s storage solutions, combined
with CaminoSoft’s Managed Server HSM software, provide an intelligent
solution to meet the ongoing challenges of data storage management,”
stated Picardi.
