Bycast and Omneon Partner

Bycast
Inc., a provider of grid-powered storage management software,
announced it is partnering with Omneon, Inc, a provider of flexible media server and active storage systems, to deliver highly
scalable data protection and preservation to industries that need rapid
access to vital data.

Bycast
and Omneon are collaborating to develop native support for Omneon’s
MediaGrid clustered storage platform within Bycast’s StorageGRID
storage management software.

“The
robust data protection and preservation strengths of Bycast’s
StorageGRID software is a perfect complement to the scalable
performance of Omneon MediaGrid,” said Dave Frederick, Director of
Storage Marketing at Omneon. “We look forward to working together to
combine our highly reliable, flexible, and scalable storage systems
with Bycast’s content management and preservation software to satisfy
the requirements of industries with a need for rapid access to mission
critical data.”

The
Bycast StorageGRID storage management solution enables companies to
overcome their storage challenges and achieve lifetime protection
through an integrated, multi-tiered storage grid that spans data
centers and leverages existing storage hardware investments. In
addition, the solution ensures users gain fast, consistent, and
reliable access to stored programming content or data, independent of
growth.

“We are very
pleased to be teaming with Omneon and are excited about the
capabilities that a Bycast-Omneon solution offers in providing ‘tier
one through deep archive’ under a single system," said Dean Neumann,
Director, Product Marketing at Bycast. “We believe this solution will
have broad appeal to any industry that has the need to store large
amounts of high value data that must be retained and protected long
term.”

Storage,
protection and preservation of massive volumes of valuable content for
long periods of time is presenting new and tough storage management
challenges to the broadcast sector, as well as other industries.
StorageGRID delivers a high-performance, high-availability storage
platform that protects data and simplifies the management of massive
archives by scaling on demand, simplifying migration and automating
recovery. StorageGRID delivers a virtualization and protection layer
that creates a unified fixed-content storage system across multiple
facilities and heterogeneous storage hardware. StorageGRID enables
formation of storage systems that can scale to petabytes of data across
hundreds of sites.
