SmallTree BlazeFS at MWSF
today announced that it will demonstrate BlazeFS--a new remote file sharing system designed specifically for Macintosh systems--during the MacWorld Expo in San Francisco. BlazeFS is designed to be a high performance file system for working in concert with networking products such as 10Gb Ethernet and InfiniBand. BlazeFS provides remote file sharing that is completely transparent to client applications, works as if the user were accessing files on a local disk, and can drive data to the maximum speed of a Gigabit Ethernet link (pricing was unavailable).
The file system offers the ability to store large data files, such as uncompressed HD video on a file server rather than local to each client, and allows clients to access these files at speeds similar to the local disk.
"Increasing network performance is essential to the creative process," stated Corky Seeber, president of Small Tree Communications. "BlazeFS will maximize workflow, enabling the professional workforce to be more efficient and effective."
