BlueArc Adds New Features

DALLAS -- Delivering on the largely untapped promise of tiered storage and data lifecycle management, BlueArc Corporation today announced new software enhancements to the company’s line of high performance Titan unified storage solutions. These innovations create a new industry milestone: a cost-effective, extraordinarily flexible, high-performance, tiered storage infrastructure that is easy to deploy and manage. The updates deliver the industry’s most thorough dynamic caching and intelligent tiered storage functionality, which will help data-driven businesses make their advanced storage strategies a reality. This unparalleled responsiveness is enabled by full utilization of a storage media mix that optimizes disk price and performance.

The new storage capabilities, available today, provide essential functionality to help companies balance storage performance and investment with the ability to move data between storage tiers as end-user demand dictates. Customers can take immediate advantage of this new functionality and extend infrastructures to include a broader range of storage media, as BlueArc today also announced certified interoperability with Data Domain deduplication devices and extended their relationship with Texas Memory Systems, a leading provider of solid-state storage media.

“BlueArc customers run some of the world’s most demanding storage environments, so we understand the potential—and challenges—presented by tiered storage,” said Steve Daheb, senior vice president of marketing and business development, BlueArc. “Our latest solutions clear technical hurdles that confined tiered storage to a rigid device hierarchy. Now companies can combine data and storage media in the manner that’s most cost-effective and efficient for their needs, without giving up performance.”
