infinite io Able to Transparently Archive Inactive Data to Low-cost NAS

infinite io, Inc., producer of network-based storage controllers, announced a new release of its software that supports NAS systems as active archives.

The features extend the functionality of the company’s current products which transparently integrate a cloud into existing storage systems to dramatically reduce overall storage costs.

“Customers will be able to use low-cost NAS systems to store their inactive data, freeing space on expense primary storage systems to service active applications and data,” said Mark Cree, CEO.

infinite io makes archived data appear and respond like local data
The massive growth of data has overwhelmed traditional storage systems. infinite io has taken an innovative approach to inactive data archival by allowing the transparent integration of a low-cost cloud or NAS system into existing storage systems.

The total transparency of the solution differentiates infinite io from all other approaches. infinite io requires no changes to applications, storage systems, or data workflows and makes the archived data appear and act as if it were still on expensive primary storage.

The software is available as a free upgrade for existing customers.
