Tarmin Progress on New Market Defining Categorization and Positioning
Amongst the numerous activities we are engaged with, we have been hard at work developing and market testing our new and unique market positioning. We are nearing completion of what we believe will become a new industry de-facto way of thinking about storage and data management. This new approach shines a conclusive way forward from the current age to a more data-centric, more flexible and efficient model for efficiently storing ever growing volumes of unstructured data. It is a unique and compelling message and I look forward to sharing it with you soon.
Object Storage: IDC on What It Takes To Succeed In Object Storage
IDC analyst Ashish Nadkarni’s recent post, “What Object-based storage solutions need to be successful”, is an insightful look at some of the key advanced capabilities that modern object storage solutions feature. Object storage is one of the significant elements of the GridBank offering and we were pleased to be named in the article. In short, the key capabilities of next generation object storage are:
- Open Interfaces
- Enabling Solutions
- Scale Out Design
- Geo-Dispersion
- Data Affinity
- Analytics
- Metadata Management
I am proud to note that the GridBank solution encompasses every one of these capabilities with a superior design in each category, in addition to many other unique capabilities which together, in concert make GridBank the powerful solution for managing vast amounts of unstructured data.
