GridBank 4.0 released

Editorial Type: News     Date: 12-2013    Views: 3219   






New 'Data Defined Storage' offering from Tarmin

Tarmin has unveiled the latest release of GridBank, described as 'the industry's first Data Defined Storage solution that dramatically improves operational efficiency, streamlines data governance and enhances search and analytics'. The latest capability enhancements of Tarmin’s GridBank 4.0 Data Management Platform further solidify its innovation leadership in the growing Data Defined Storage market category.

More than 40 percent of organisations say their biggest technology challenge is the rapid growth of unstructured data. Since data is an organisation's primary asset, companies need a solution that unites the application, information and storage tiers into a single integrated data centric architecture. "With data growing exponentially, one of the greatest data management challenges is end-to-end protection, governance, discovery and access, no matter the file type, device or social origination." said Steve Duplessie, founder and senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group. "Tarmin’s latest release of GridBank is tailored to meet all the needs of organisations facing massive growth with unstructured data."

GridBank 4.0 adds support for Enterprise Linux platforms, increasing GridBank's addressable markets and ensuring its applicability for cross-platform multi-petabyte enterprise storage environments. In addition, both Linux and Windows versions of GridBank 4.0 offer random access with Enterprise Object Storage and enhanced performance through accelerated location and retrieval of data assets.

Social media streams are increasingly subject to the same compliance mandates as other types of data, including file and email. GridBank 4.0 introduces the industry's first social media REST API that delivers a common interface to any social media provider so that social streams and instant messaging data can be brought into the centralised GridBank storage repository to be indexed and archived for compliance, e-Discovery and analytics.

The GridBank 4.0 solution enables data intensive organisations such as those in financial services, healthcare, oil and gas, life sciences, education and research institutions to leverage data as a strategic asset. GridBank's Distributed Metadata Repository embeds the intelligence into the infrastructure so organisations can point big data analytics tools at the metadata store rather than the broader data repositories, eliminating the need for migration to separate analytics storage pools and enabling real time, data-in-place analytics.

"The needs of the customer are at the centre of everything we do and with GridBank 4.0, we're proud to bring further innovation to the Data Defined Storage market," said Shahbaz Ali, Tarmin president and CEO. "Due to the sheer volume of data stored these days, CTOs and CROs are seeking more automated data management approaches and GridBank is a game changer in this space."
