As many people know, Ocarina Networks has been living up to its name lately. It really is becoming a “network”-oriented company, inking partnerships with just about all of the top storage vendors–HP, BlueArc, Isilon, and so on and so forth. This is great news for storage customers, who can now depend on the very best in data reduction, slashing storage costs.
For those who want to get a quick and entertaining hit on how one of these partnerships works–this one with BlueArc, might we suggest this new animated demo on the Ocarina site? This demo offers a case study in how a world-class CGI animation studio, Rainmaker Entertainment, deployed BlueArc storage with Ocarina to achieve astounding compression results. (For more on this, you might also want to take a look at our Q&A with Shmuel Shottan, CTO of BlueArc from last February.)
