Caringo Swarm and Western Digital Ultrastar Serv60+8 Hybrid Storage Server Work Together to Enable Simplified Management of Unstructured Data at Massive Scale with Improved TCO

AUSTIN, Texas - OhioPen -- Caringo, Inc. announced today a collaboration with Western Digital to combine its Swarm Data Management and Object Storage Platform with Western Digital's Ultrastar Serv60+8 Hybrid Storage Server for managing unstructured data at massive scale. The joint solution enables customers to store up to a petabyte (PB) of data in 4U, while reducing costs, simplifying data management and supporting remote access requirements for collaboration, and continued data mining and monetization.

Caringo Swarm, now at version 11.3, is a proven software-defined management platform that provides a S3-compatible, on-premises solution for storage, protection, analysis, organization and search at massive scale for unstructured data (e.g., photos, videos and files). Using Caringo Swarm with Western Digital's performance-optimized hybrid server is an excellent choice for enterprise organizations, OEMs, cloud service providers and systems integrators.

"Digital content and how it is consumed and managed has dramatically changed over the past decade, forcing organizations to quickly modernize their storage infrastructure," said Tony Barbagallo, Caringo CEO. "The combination of Caringo Swarm and Western Digital's hybrid storage servers offers a great solution for these organizations. We are excited to partner with Western Digital as their leading innovations such as patented IsoVibe™ vibration isolation technology and ArcticFlow™ thermal zone cooling technology can help improve reliability and reduce field drive returns by 62%*."
