Network World Magazine Recognizes Tarmin for Technology Leadership and Innovation
Ongar, United Kingdom and Palo Alto, Calif. (August 19,, 2009) — Tarmin Technologies™, a leading provider of intelligent secondary storage platforms and active archival solutions, today announced that it has been named one of the “Nine Storage Companies to Watch” by Network World magazine for its innovation and technology leadership in the storage industry. Network World looked for start-up companies that are taking new approaches, such as Cloud storage and Cloud-based virtualization, to solving the critical issues plaguing customers’ storage environments: rapid, uncontrolled data growth and massive inefficiency.
“Tarmin is proud to be recognized by Network World as one of the “Nine Storage Companies to Watch”, said Shahbaz Ali, founder, CEO of Tarmin. “Our GridBank platform delivers a ground-breaking and unique approach that works simultaneously for on-premise storage and cloud storage services. Tarmin solves the myriad of storage and data management difficulties customers face every day.”
Award-winning GridBank utilizes affordable, industry-standard, heterogeneous server and storage hardware to create a high-performance, high-availability and grid-based intelligent secondary storage platform and active archival solution.

GridBank satisfies any organization’s compliance, regulatory and governance requirements by ensuring secure, long-term data retention coupled with fast E-discovery and retrieval of valuable corporate data.
“The overwhelming majority of corporate data is unchanging and infrequently accessed,” said Lauren Whitehouse, analyst with the Enterprise Strategy Group. “Tarmin’s GridBank not only helps companies comply with a multitude of corporate document retention requirements, but its grid-based architecture enables capacity and performance scalability, as well as cost-effectiveness. GridBank’s intelligent storage software design allows organizations to manage the full lifecycle of their information, while automating all storage management processes.”
