Caringo was founded in 2005 to change the economics of storage by designing software from the ground up to solve the issues associated with relentless data growth. Caringo’s flagship product, Swarm, decouples data from applications and hardware providing a foundation for continued data access and analysis that continuously evolves while guaranteeing data integrity. Today, Caringo software-defined object storage solutions are used to preserve and provide access to rapidly scaling data sets across many industries.

In this educational webinar, DataCore domain experts for each storage type will translate the technological differences into the value they deliver using real world examples and experiences gathered over the course of hundreds of deployments.

The difference between block, file and object storage

With the continued compounding effect of infrequently accessed data, organizations need to look beyond scaling infrastructure to intelligent data lifecycle management and sustainable cost while making sure their data remains secure. For these cold-archiving use cases, a two-tiered approach with server-based object storage and a tape object archive can bring many benefits, including the ability to:

--Economically achieve optimal price/performance for multi-petabyte environments
--Meet stringent security and compliance requirements by deploying a high-security air-gapped solution
--Satisfy corporate policies for long-term preservation of data on tape storage

In this Tech Tuesday webinar, Chris Kehoe, Fujifilm Head of infrastructure Engineering, joins Ryan Meek, Caringo Principal Solutions Architect, and Jose Marcos, Caringo Sales Engineer to discuss how to build a complete, on-prem object storage solution with Caringo Swarm and  FUJIFILM Object Archive.

Building a Complete, On-Prem Object Storage Solution, Tech Tuesday

The traditional online, offline, nearline and archive storage models are expensive and slow storage paradigms that just don't cut it for digital video in 2021! As a result of the drastic consumption model changes that 2020 required, we’ve emerged from this year with the need for bigger archives, stronger workflow models, and faster content delivery. 

Subscribers and viewers are demanding to watch video on their terms, at any time and on any device. Join Eric Dey, Caringo Head of Product, Ben Canter, Caringo Global VP of Sales, and Adrian J Herrera, Caringo VP Marketing, as they discuss:

--Factors that will drive on-prem and cloud storage growth in the digital video market 
--Different storage and content distribution requirements for M&E, Sports Video, Broadcasters, and VOD services
--Modern strategies for tiering video assets to increase storage cost-effectiveness

Bigger, Stronger, Faster: Digital Video Growth for 2021

The notion of an archive has stayed consistent for many years, with cost and workflow integration being the most common evaluation criteria. As content libraries increase in size and workflows become more distributed, the primary function of an archive as the secondary tier is splitting into two—a hot/warm tier enabling distributed workflows and a cold tier optimized for cost. 

Join Adrian J Herrera, Caringo VP Marketing and host of Brews & Bytes, for a lively discussion with Eric Dey, Caringo Director of Product, Rich Gadomski, Fujifilm Head of Tape Evangelism, and Nami Matsumoto, Fujifilm Director of Data Management Solutions. They will discuss:

If you’re evaluating your current disaster recovery (DR) strategy or developing a new one, you’re probably considering the best way to incorporate cloud storage. There are a number of factors that contribute to why you should consider using cloud storage. Maybe you don’t want to build and staff another data center right now; or, perhaps you want to decommission your secondary center without spinning up a new cloud disaster recovery (DR) site. Or, maybe you’ve just outgrown your current solution.

Tune in to our next Tech Tuesday webinar where Ryan Meek, Principal Solutions Architect, and Jose Marcos, Sales Engineer, discuss strategies for incorporating cloud (public, private and hybrid) into your storage architecture. Bringing expertise from working on hundreds of storage deployments, Ryan and Jose will explain how you can easily:

--Tier data to a DR site using automated policies
--Reduce risk and cost by using a deep storage archive for DR
--Use the cloud to simplify your storage DR
--Leverage Caringo’s expertise in data recovery processes

The webinar will include a demonstration of Caringo’s new Swarm Cloud DR powered by Wasabi and a live Q&A session.
