Dec, 2009 : Gridstore Launches Network Attached Storage Grid

📅 December 15, 2009 - New enterprise-class storage platform eliminates the risk, cost and complexity of traditional siloed NAS storage solutions.

Gridstore, a provider of enterprise-class Network Attached Storage (NAS) grid solutions, yesterday launched a beta version of its new NASg storage platform designed to eliminate the risk, cost and complexity of traditional siloed storage solutions. The company states that Gridstore NASg aggregates the processing power of client systems and performs complex parallel storage processes on existing NAS resources while assuring the reliability required for today's 24x7 business operations.

It explains that the Gridstore NASg platform combines the simplicity, convenience and affordability of NAS with the scalability, performance and reliability of enterprise-class storage. As a result, MSPs can provide their SMB customers with a powerful on premise NAS storage grid that eliminates storage sprawl and multiple single points of failure while providing a next-generation storage offering at 1/3 the cost of standalone NAS solutions.

The company avers that key benefits of Gridstore NASg includes:

Unlimited Storage Capacity - NASg virtualizes any number of existing NAS or NASg storage nodes into a single pool of storage

Unlimited Network Bandwidth - NASg eliminates server network bottlenecks by utilizing parallel IO to the storage nodes

Unlimited Processing Capacity - NASg harnesses the processing power across a grid of client machines to eliminate server-based processing bottlenecks

Unlimited Reliability - By harnessing the parallel processing and IO of a grid, NASg stripes data across many storage nodes so that there is no single point of failure

New Storage Economics - NASg platform aggregates processing power and network bandwidth to spread the workload across a grid of storage nodes

"Today's small-to-mid-size IT organizations and managed service providers (MSP) are facing storage sprawl that is at critical levels," said Arun Taneja, Founder and Consulting Analyst, Taneja Group. "This siloed data is complex and costly to manage with a high risk of data loss. Gridstore has developed an innovative approach to consolidate this storage while optimizing efficiency for IT customers and profitability for managed service provider customers. It truly is an innovative and cost-effective approach to solving the storage dilemma."
