Grigale Launches: ShelfCloud^TM storage Appliance

We in Grigale believe that storage should stay simple.

This is why we have built Grigale ShelfCloud Network Attached Storage appliance to be simple to use, but yet powerful to your network environment.

Grigale LTD. is a software company specializing in storage consulting for enterprise grade environments.

After spending pretty much time building and developing storage solutions for our clients, we have realized that a different approach is needed for building a storage solution. This is why we have chosen to build a very robust and unique storage solution and yet, very simple and easy to use.

Here are the main features of our storage solution:

• A fully automated storage - zero administration really!

  Just plug your storage into the network and start working...

  

• Resilience to failure of any 1 disk - while other 3 disks still contain all the data and continue to bring service.

• Previous versioning mechanism - built-in feature to allow saving of

  previous versions of the file-system up to a resolution of minutes back

  in time. In order to allow fast retrieval of previous content.

• Improved Utilization - by using:

  Compression - all the data that is written into the storage appliance is being

  compressed automatically. When Data is read – it is uncompressed to allow

  regular use.

De-duplication - De-duplication is a unique feature usually found inside

enterprise grade storage systems. De-duplication improves

storage utilization - by eliminating duplicity of data and unifying all

duplicated data inside the file-system to have only one copy.

• Blazingly fast – Up to 100MB per second !

  This is done by implying 2 levels of cache -

  First level cache – 4GB RAM

  And 10 times! Second level SSD cache – 40GB

• Echo Friendly – About 40 Watt of total power consumption.

  Environment friendly and power saving is done by using low power CPU, Motherboard and green edition disks parts.

• ShelfCloud powerful apps – download and install powerful ShelfCloud applications from myshelfcloud.com market to get more features from your storage.

  Here is an example of some of ShelfCloud future applications:

  Smart monitoring – in any case of hardware or software failure, your storage box will inform you about the failure in realtime by sending an email notification or even by chatting with you...
