-
Hardware agnostic — Never get locked into expensive or dead end hardware
-
Massively scalable — Add nodes to your cluster when and where you need them
-
High performance — For primary storage duty and to support extreme scalability
-
Guaranteed data integrity — For true long term viability, provable in court
-
Self configuring — Easy to add nodes and tune for application requirements
-
Self managing and healing — Reduce management time and expense
How does it work?
Start with a few nodes and grow to petabytes
Plug the CAStor USB memory key into a server node, turn it on and 60 seconds later, the CAStor server is up and running. Repeat as often as necessary to implement the size environment you require for content storage. CAStor scales from a few server nodes and 1.5TB up to hundreds of nodes and over 1PB. CAStor enables cluster in a box by taking advantage of multi-core processers in which a virtual storage node runs in each core.
No provisioning, configuring or impact to your applications
CAStor automatically configures and manages your cluster. When you need to upgrade hardware simply power up a more powerful node and retire an older node while the system is up and running! There is no need to stop the system, migrate your data or do any conversions. This operational ease and scalability in itself is enough to make many users choose CAStor.
All nodes work together as a cohesive unit
All nodes in the cluster function as a cohesive unit delivering scale on two critical dimensions, performance and capacity.
Stored files are automatically replicated
All files are replicated by default in CAStor. If one disk goes down, there is always another copy. The system will automatically detect and re-replicate your file in the background. In fact, the larger the cluster, the faster the recovery will be. There is no longer any need to waste time and money on RAID configurations. CAStor clusters can recover significantly faster than RAID.
