The Netherlands, Bunschoten, August 6, 2009 - STEALTH Software,a Dutch software development organization dedicated to enabling a broad spectrum of organizations to become operationally more efficient and effective, today announced the
STEALTH Content Store for Zimbra™ Collaboration Suite , using Caringo™ CAStor™ as the infrastructure for its message storage.
The Zimbra Collaboration Suite includes e-mail, shared calendar and instant messaging that all work together as a complete end-to-end solution. The Zimbra Data Store handles all preference and message metadata and the Message Store uses the local Linux file system for physical message storage where all email messages and file attachments reside. However, the Linux file system is not the most efficient way for storing unstructured binary content. It is costly to manage, unsecure and not easy to scale.
The solution is using Caringo CAStor as a simple, cost-effective storage cluster to function as a Zimbra Message Store. The STEALTH Content Store for Zimbra Collaboration Suite coordinates the Message Store and uses simple semantics to recognize file commands to invoke redirection calls to CAStor™ when it recognizes message and file data objects.
While email use has increased dramatically with the growth of the Internet, the underlying messaging systems most enterprises count on to keep pace were generally designed more than a decade ago. These older systems can be frail and challenging to run in today's frenetic environment. Zimbra is leveraging the strength of the open source philosophy to innovate enterprise communication and STEALTH Software has extended its value by integrating it to Caringo CAStor
- Transform email and collaboration to become more efficient
- Make administration and integration less painful
“With social networks spanning both consumer and business communities, the requirements on content management are eminent, whereas traditional approaches can no longer deliver the sound economics for storing active and archive content”. “Again Caringo and STEALTH Software have demonstrated the leverage of their partnership, resulting in the co-development to integrate Content Store for Zimbra Collaboration Suite” said Osgar de Laat CEO of STEALTH Software. “Subsequently, this value stack is geared to manage cost-effectively all of social network content”.
“We are very excited about STEALTH Software’s solution enabling CAStor as a content store for Zimbra,” said Mark Goros, Caringo CEO. “ The sheer overload in e-mail volume has made it difficult and complex for companies to deal with up to millions of messages every day and provide an affordable, scalable storage repository. This new solution solves a large challenge for organizations to become more effective at managing and storing e-mail.”
Caringo's disruptive CAStor technology is built on innovative object-based storage architecture, delivering the most complete set of features to address massive content storage as well as the growing requirements for compliance. It provides WORM storage, content integrity and authenticity meeting regulatory mandates such as SEC17a4 and HIPAA. CAStor is scalable, high performance and extremely cost effective content storage software that runs on standard, commodity x86 hardware enabling users to build massive storage clusters without the vendor lock-in of traditional storage products.
