Caringo helps Johns Hopkins Track Human Genome Research Data
posted on 30 June 2008 06:49
Blogger Jon Toigo has seemingly scooped the wires and content-addressable storage provider Caringo's own PR function by revealing that Johns Hopkins’ Center for Inherited Disease Research is using Caringo storage kit to index all its files, petabytes of them potentially.
The center is using data from the Human Genome Project in its work. Its storage setup involves "Capricorn’s PetaBoxes (low cost, no frills, SATA arrays), combined with home grown archive software and Caringo software."
Apparently Caringo's use of clustering its index data has proved successful in combatting disk failures and power outages.
As Toigo says, this is a terrific win for newcomer Caringo.
