Anthony Ercolino, VP of data center operations for supply chain management firm TradeCard Inc., says he liked that Kashya was IP network-based when he purchased four appliances for disaster recovery last year. TradeCard is an EMC Clariion customer and picked Kashya over software alternatives from EMC and Veritas.
"We looked at EMC's solution," Ercolino says. "It was good, but networked-based replication minimized bandwidth and performance issues. It also cost less than array-based solutions. Network-based replication takes the impact and everything off the host. It doesnt affect the host and doesnt affect the SAN."
Kashya appliances are priced at $50,000 and up.
EMC says Kashya's 75 employees in San Jose, Calif., and Israel will be offered positions with EMC, with Kashya CEO Michael Lewin reporting to the EMC VP of software infrastructure, Doc D'Errico.
