Caringo, a provider of clustered content storage software, was named among the “25 Coolest Emerging Tech Vendors” in the June 30 issue of CRN magazine for providing “innovative cutting-edge technology backed up by channel programs that pack more margin and support.”

The 25 “Coolest” vendors were selected from 178 companies included in this year’s Emerging Vendors report, an annual list of technology vendors chosen for superior technology, alternative choices to other products in the market and better opportunities for solution providers. Caringo, along with the other Top 25 vendors, were said to be the “sleek red Ferraris of the technology set zooming past your parents’ Volvo.” Final selection to the Emerging Technology list was made at the discretion of the CRN editorial team after a review of the submitted information and conversations with current or targeted partners.

“It is an honor alone to be chosen as one of CRN’s Emerging Tech Vendors but is especially gratifying to hear that we are among the Top 25 ‘Coolest’ ones at that,” said Mark Goros, CEO of Caringo. “We’ve worked diligently to provide resellers with the ability to offer their customers an affordable, high performance and reliable clustered storage solution that is easy to manage and administer. The CAStor software is really a great fit for the channel because it opens new opportunities by leveraging standard x86 server platforms that may already be a part of a distributor’s portfolio.”

Caringo’s CAStor software runs on affordable, standard server platforms (x86) and virtualizes storage across internal disks on every node in a cluster presenting a vast 128-bit flat address space enabling massive scalability. CAStor clusters easily scale from a Terabyte to Petabytes using commodity server hardware with self-managing capabilities along with automated replication, archiving and compliance features that minimize administrative effort.
