NetApp StorageGRID for Petabyte-Scale Data Storage
NetApp has announced StorageGRID, which is a result of NetApp's completed acquisition of Bycast Inc. on May 14, 2010. According to this press release on Market Wire, StorageGRID is a solution designed to manage petabyte-scale globally distributed repositories of images, video, and records for enterprises and service providers.
"'StorageGRID is certainly strategic for NetApp with a solid entry in object-based, scalable, policy-based storage management,' said Terri McClure, senior analyst, ESG. 'It is complementary to the existing NetApp storage portfolio since it sits as an application above the storage systems and virtualizes the storage environment. The massive amounts of information that users are now, or will be in coming years, struggling to manage requires a new storage paradigm. NetApp now has the strong foundational technology it needs to continue its cloud storage infrastructure push."
