Unlimited, secure long-term storage and archiving of file-related data
CAS system makes superfast data sharing a reality at IPPANY
IPPANY provides a service to its corporate customers which enables them to view and share their documents, PowerPoint presentations, photos, music and films with others from any location and via any medium available, be it the Internet, mobile phone, PC, laptop, etc. This is an innovative service which requires innovative storage solutions. So IPPANY turned to Proact to develop and implement such a solution.
"With the unique Storage on Demand option, we now spend a lot less money..."
The solution designed by Proact is modelled on a Content Addressed Storage (CAS) system from Caringo. CAS offers a radically new method of data storage and archiving. This is an innovative system that enables unlimited and secure long-term storage and archiving of file-related data. As far as the infrastructure and interface are concerned, Proact has supplied a solution that integrates the CAS system and the IPPANY application. Furthermore, Proact is responsible for managing and supporting the CAS system.
"With the unique Storage on Demand option which Proact offers to its clients, we now spend a lot less money every month than we would have if we had to make all our investments upfront," says Clemens Bloemen, Director of IPPANY. "What we pay for now are the cost of the storage and archiving we actually use and any costs necessary for our growth. Without this solution, IPPANY's operational management and cash flow would be under much greater strain than is the case today."
