Content-addressed storage provider Caringo Nov. 16 introduced the beta version of a new file system gateway that it claims gives systems integrators and ISVs a simpler way to deploy high-end CAS architectures for business applications.
Content-addressable storage, also referred to as associative storage or abbreviated CAS, is a mechanism for storing information that can be retrieved based on its content, not its storage location.
It is typically used for high-speed storage and retrieval of static content, such as documents stored for compliance with government regulations.
CAS has become a hot option for companies revamping their data storage centers due to new federal e-discovery rules that will begin to be enforced Dec. 1.
The CAStor File System Gateway provides CAS functionality through standard file interfaces at a lower cost that was not possible in the past, a company spokesperson told eWEEK.
