HYPER-CONVERGED ALL FLASH APPLIANCE – STARWIND HCI ALL-FLASH

HCI All-Flash is designed for small and mid-size SMB virtualized environments. All-flash storage configuration provides the best capacity-performance combination. Start with as little as one node and leverage StarWind Hybrid Cloud for HA and failover or get more nodes to build an onsite cluster. Also, you can scale up by adding more storage, memory, and interface cards. Clusters can also have mixed node configurations to adopt multiple workload requirements. With StarWind ProActive Support included with the appliance, the responsibility for health status monitoring and availability of your applications is covered by StarWind Intelligent monitoring service and a team of professional support engineers.

BridgeSTOR Announces Rio-2 Cloud Backup Server a hybrid storage repository for backup software

View Data Sheet

Rio-2 provides backup software the fastest and easiest way to send backup data directly to Amazon S3 or Object Storage using an iSCSI VTL, SMB or NFS protocol.

Carlsbad, CA – February 27, 2017 – BridgeSTOR, LLC, the company making cloud storage accessible, today announced the Rio-2 Cloud Backup Server a hybrid appliance designed for backup, archiving, migrating and tiering of backup data to private or public cloud storage. Rio-2 allows backup software to easily transfer backup data to Cloud Storage via an iSCSI VTL or NAS interface using local disk to store the most active files while accelerating the transfer of data to the cloud with hi-speed background threads greatly reducing the backup window. The Rio-2 VTL interface includes compression and is an ideal solution for migrating existing tapes to Amazon S3 or Glacier by storing tape data as a single object reducing the dependency of legacy tape hardware. As a hybrid appliance files or tapes may seamlessly be restored from local disk or from the cloud without the knowledge of the backup software. Rio-2 may easily be added to the BridgeSTOR Global File system by adding the BridgeSTOR Global View Manager which would allow backup data to be shared between multiple locations. Rio-2 also adds advanced encryption by combining SSL and AES-256-bit encryption guaranteeing backup data is transferred and stored in an encrypted format.
“I believe the Rio-2 is the simplest and easiest way to send backup data or existing tapes to private or public cloud.”, says John Matze, CEO, BridgeSTOR, LLC. “The Rio-2 Cloud Server has been designed by engineers with over 40 years of tape and VTL knowledge.” The Rio-2 Cloud Server is scheduled to ship on March 19, 2018.

“BridgeSTOR was founded in 2010 by storage industry veterans sharing a common vision – Create a solution that allows the Cloud to be used as normal storage. This vision was solidified after receiving a Request for Product (RFP) from one of the world’s largest Media & Entertainment organizations. The RFP called for a global namespace with global file locking, file versioning, intelligent caching and a laundry list of additional enterprise feature sets. The subsequent discussions sparked our imaginations and challenged us to rethink data access all together.
