Storage Field Day: Cleversafe

April 29, 2013 John Obeto

Ever heard of Cleversafe?

No?

Shutterfly has.

Actually Shutterfly has, to the amount of having 70 petabytes of storage covered by Cleversafe!

Cleversafe uses information dispersal, also known in the storage industry as erasure coding, or forward-error correction, to perform it’s magic, over either local or WAN.

The AbsoluteViewpoint
I would love to have a client with the capacity of a Shutterfly. Really, I would.

Absent that, coming out to Storage Field Day, and touting a reference account with 70PB of data, has everyone murmuring “respect” under their breaths.

This is a well-implemented product, and surprisingly easy to implement and use.

Definitely a company to keep my eyes on.
