Online storage compression specialist Storewiz’s latest STN-6000 data compression appliances are achieving new performance levels as a result of their new multi-core architecture.
The company says it features “state-of-the-art processors, more efficient algorithms, an improved compression ratio and other enhancements that enable the most data-intensive enterprises to maximise their network infrastructure at a fraction of their current cost.”
Designed for enterprise implementations, the new appliances are designed to provide impressive compression rates without affecting the performance of applications connected to the network.
Technology analysts like what they see. “Without question, Storewiz is leading the way for this critical new market of primary storage capacity optimization,” says Brad O’Neill, senior analyst with Taneja Group.
“Storewiz is demonstrating to enterprise IT that optimising application data in real-time with advanced compression software is a very high-value function. Not only can it reduce primary storage costs and improve storage utilisation; it also plays a key role in improving storage performance as well.
“Akin to how de-duplication approaches have optimised backup and archiving, primary storage optimisation software will also soon become a de facto fixture in enterprise data centres. I believe Storewiz is in an excellent position to drive this new category’s growth.”
