Caringo Launches CloudScaler 2.0

Caringo
Inc. announced the last version of its CloudScaler
enterprise gateway that, combined with CAStor, provides
enterprises and service providers object storage as the foundation
for dependable and scalable cloud storage service.

This release adds Amazon S3 API support
and increased control, authentication and metering of CAStor. The
combined solution has a feature set that meets the most demanding
enterprise use case requirements, going beyond the scalable storage
offered through open source solutions and services such as S3.

Benefits include:

• Enterprise
  features for cloud storage service
  providers: Leverages CAStor’s adaptive power conservation technology,
  WORM functionality, integrity seals (to ensure content integrity),
  and Elastic content
  protection,
  offering replication and erasure coding simultaneously to provide any
  storage SLA.

• Customizable
  and transparent DR options: Increased
  control over content location for DR and access, with automated local
  and geographic distribution of objects to multiple locations.

• ISV
  and ecosystem support enabled by S3
  application integration: Most existing applications that support
  Amazon S3 will work once reconfigured to send requests to
  CloudScaler.

• Cloud
  platform interoperability: It
  is integrated with Citrix CloudPortal
  Business Manager 2.0 and can work in conjunction with Apache
  CloudStack and Citrix cloud Platform.

• Eliminates the
  need to map content to a rigid naming
  scheme: Lightweight tenant and domain creation and allocation for
  easy storage management and flexible bucket naming.

• Snap in to
  existing authentication processes and
  systems: Supports LDAP and Linux PAM authentication for integration
  into existing corporate identity management systems. Supports
  token-based authentication for pre-validated access logins.

• Granular control
  of content access: A rich access
  control mechanism allows for coarse to fine-grained control over
  access (public or private) to content within a domain.

• Simplifies cloud
  infrastructure management: Cloud
  storage infrastructure is expanded with no service downtime and
  automated storage balancing.

• Pricing that
  suits your business model: Offered
  through a perpetual license or on-demand pricing model.

"For many enterprise use cases
S3 is not a candidate. cloud storage service providers want on-demand
storage like S3, but still need the performance, security and control
of having storage behind their firewall," said Mark Goros,
CEO, Caringo. "CloudScaler 2.0 and CAStor empower our
customers to build solid and dependable storage services while
maintaining control and ensuring content integrity to meet the most
demanding cloud storage use case requirements."

The company will be hosting a webinar to
demonstrate CloudScaler 2.0 and interoperability with Citrix Cloud
Portal Business Manager 2.0 on August 21.
