In the midst of the Information Age we face the reality that ever more digital content is being created, stored and distributed, and there’s no end in sight. With as much as 90% of that data being unstructured, such as documents, spreadsheets, images and the like, organizations are challenged trying to store it using file systems based on 30 year old designs. These file systems are being stretched beyond their ability to scale in capacity and volume, have become too complex to manage, expensive to maintain and are easily broken. There is a better way.
Caringo provides high performance, scalable and reliable clustered storage that is easy to manage and administer. Whether storing active content for online access or for long-term archives, Caringo delivers content storage software, to store, distribute and preserve your digital content at an incredible price.
Companies, large and small, recognize that much of their most valuable assets and intellectual property exist in digital form. Over the past several years this has evolved from merely structured, database data, to mainly unstructured data or simply content. It includes things such as business records, product documentation, spreadsheets containing complicated financial models, images of events, web pages, medical images and more. To address the need to preserve and protect their content assets organizations require a new solution that breaks through file system constraints and includes features for compliance and guaranteed long term integrity. Caringo designed and developed CAStor to provide a simple and scalable content storage environment with the performance of primary storage and the integrity of an archive. Built on innovative, 3rd generation content addressed storage (CAS) technology it eliminates the need to separate active and archive content. CAStor has the most complete set of features to meet the content storage challenges and compliance imperatives of today and tomorrow.

Local and Wide Area Replication and
Distribution
CAStor Content Router provides both local and wide area replication and content
distribution. Replicate content locally to a sub-cluster with different physical
or geographical characteristics. Replicate content to a remote disaser recovery
site or mirror content to a second primary cluster. The Content Router
leverages a powerful rules engine to filter metadata that defines how to
process and where to store the content based on metadata values. More
