Caringo reveals CAStor CFS
Caringo has announced its CAStor Content File Server (CFS), which allows Macs to connect to its content storage. CAStor storage can scale from small capacities to clusters reaching petabyte sizes. The CAStor system is a POSIX-compliant filesystem, said to exceed the file count and storage capacities of block-based NAS systems. It supports Mac, WebDAV, NFS, CIFS, FTP and Linux, with full support of Active Directory and Access Control lists.
CAStor CFS includes a Time Machine-like feature, Timescape, which provides a continuous snapshot of a server, allowing administrators to mount a file system at any point in time to recover deleted or overwritten files. The system supports metadata attributes, smart content distribution and replication for disaster recovery.
Interested parties must contact Caringo for pricing options and requirements.
