Cofio AIMstor 2.3 Software

Cofio Software, Inc. announced version 2.3 of its software product AIMstor. It is an application to combat ‘IT Sprawl’ and the unnecessary spread of point solutions into the data center.

• CIFS Support with easy click through setup.
• Linux Bare Metal Restore ready for upcoming versions of AIMstor’s Dissimilar BMR.
