Storage Optimisation?

Interesting product actually, thats a nice find.

We looked at deduplication on our backup storage but having considered for a little while the truth is disk space is so cheap it's not value for money. As you say I'd also be concerned about corruption usign that sort of technology on primary storage though...
 
I think it may be a little bit ahead of its time, but could possibly be very useful for sites like flickr and imagebucket etc, anything hosting lots of media stuff.

Enterprise level i'm not sure many will want to take the risk just yet..
 
I wouldn't want that anywhere near our storage. It seems that it does some kind of compression to save space? That doesn't suggest to me "optimisation" just space saving.

That seems a very specialiased product for (as Wardie says) places that do media storage.

Optimisation to me is getting more ops/sec for your money. This is usually achieved with things like read/write ahead. Big caches and fast silicon. Fastest NAS provider currently being BlueArc.

Thats not really true, Exanet are probably the fastest NAS provider around today. I've had both companies in to talk about solutions and Exanet's numbers are fantastic, they're getting a lot of business from the media sector because of it..
