Gresham's Clareti Storage Director is the complete backup/restore
virtualization suite that delivers levels of performance and functionality
designed to improve backup/recovery times, reduce costs, and provide
operational efficiencies. It is also the industry's first real-time backup
virtualization solution to integrate data protection management and
heterogeneous tape library consolidation. The Clareti Storage Director
minimizes operational costs associated with data backup and restoration in
enterprise environments.
"Data compression is an invaluable tool to help offset the unrelenting
storage growth and save customer's time and resources, which is only feasible
with a hardware-accelerated, in-line solution such as the Express DR cards,"
said Ed Ahl, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Gresham. "The value
proposition of Hifn's Express DR cards complements the Clareti Storage
Director's value proposition -- provide our customers with a high-performance,
capacity-optimized backup/restore virtualization solution that reduces
operating costs."
The addition of the Hifn capacity optimization card in the Clareti Storage
Director provides an enterprise-class, hardware-accelerated data reduction
solution designed to mitigate exponential growth in stored data, improve total
cost of ownership, and provide a green option for customers. The DR 1050
offloads the industry-standard LZS lossless data compression delivering
hardware-advantaged compression performance of up to 962 MByte/sec. Up to
four DR 1050 cards per node can be added to scale performance up to 3.8
Gbytes/sec. Hifn's zero-defect data design ensures compressed data
reliability with 100 percent data verification and CRC validation.
"Gresham has recognized the value of hardware-accelerated data compression
in changing the value proposition of enterprise storage systems," said Mike
Goldgof, vice president, product marketing at Hifn. "By adding our Express DR
1050 card to the Clareti Storage Director, Gresham has joined with the
industry's elite as more than 70 percent of the world's data networks and
storage systems vendors rely on Hifn data reduction technology."
About the Express DR Family
The Express DR family of capacity optimization cards offers
load-balancing, bus-mastering DMA, and a 4-lane PCI Express bus. Unique to
Hifn products is the "enhanced" LZS (eLZS) technology, which eliminates data
expansion while maintaining compressed data performance. The Express DR
family also offers high-assurance features which verify data record integrity
during processing, and assure data transfers through host memory and to the
storage media and back.
