Tiny Ocarina Could Mean Major Storage Impact
Dell is planning to acquire Ocarina Networks, a tiny developer of storage compression and deduplication technology, a move which will give Dell a technology it could apply to a wide range of its storage products to help customers cut the capacity required to store their data.
This is a huge move for Dell which, unlike many of its competitors, does not have its own dedupe technology.
Ocarina Networks is a developer of content-aware deduplication technology which looks at the content of a file and how it is structured to choose the best way to compress and dedupe the data from over 100 possible algorithms.
