SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - September 28, 2009) - Ocarina Networks today announced
that it has joined the EMC® Velocity
Technology and ISV Program to enhance interoperability between the Ocarina
ECOsystem, a content-aware optimization technology, and EMC Celerra®
unified storage systems. Ocarina's participation in the Velocity Program
provides customers with an integrated solution providing additional
efficiencies for the storage of file data.
"By joining EMC's Velocity Program we're able to extend our solutions to
customers who are under pressure to do more with fewer resources and are
looking for improved storage efficiency," said Dave Withers, Vice President
of Strategic Markets and Business Development, Ocarina Networks. "Ocarina's
content-aware compression complements EMC Celerra's de-duplication
capability to increase customers' storage efficiency in today's petabyte
era."
Ocarina ECOsystem provides a data reduction solution for online storage,
reducing data up to 90% and decreasing the effective cost of data storage.
Ocarina ECOsystem seamlessly integrates with EMC Celerra using the
FileMover API providing transparent optimization to end users and
applications. ECOsystem is ideally deployed in a tiered storage
architecture where storage is capacity-optimized using Ocarina's
content-aware algorithms. Content specific algorithms reduce file sizes
even for previously compressed data, including compressed image file
formats such as JPEG. Ocarina ECOsystem for EMC Celerra is deployed as a
clustered
co-processor architecture that ensures high reliability and performance.
"EMC is pleased that Ocarina Networks has joined the EMC Velocity
Technology and ISV Program to demonstrate its commitment to excellence in
content-aware compression and deduplication for its Ocarina ECOsystem,"
said Rob Hazen, Celerra Velocity ISV Partner Manager, from EMC Corporation.
"We look forward to working with Ocarina Networks to ensure that our mutual
customers have the highest level of support possible for their information
infrastructure initiatives."
The combined Ocarina and EMC solution is available immediately.
