SUNNYVALE, CA--(Marketwire - Nov 8, 2012) - DataDirect Networks (DDN), the leader in massively scalable storage, announced the engineering of its Web Object Scaler (WOS) cloud storage appliance in conjunction with General Atomics Nirvana SRB federated knowledge management software. This new solution resolves the information management needs of data-intensive enterprises participating in collaborative workflows that have historically wrestled with disparate silos of data. Designed to process large amounts of diverse data from data streams, sensors and computational simulations, this solution facilitates knowledge creation through the analysis and synthesis of data across globally curated information volumes.
Nirvana SRB features workflow automation, knowledge management and collaboration tools to accelerate data discovery and facilitate collaboration among scientists, intelligence analysts and others working in life sciences, military intelligence and other research areas. With WOS, Nirvana SRB benefits from industry-leading cloud storage performance, infrastructure and advanced data protection advantages that scale to manage up to 256 billion information assets from a single, global storage namespace.
"DDN WOS dramatically lowers the cost of acquisition and operation of Nirvana SRB environment," said Jacci Cenci, Director of Sales, General Atomics. "With WOS, a multi-petabyte global SRB environment can be rapidly deployed and managed with the minimal administration or storage over-provisioning. We are pleased to partner with DDN to enable organizations to rapidly extract value from massive data volumes."
"When massive amounts of data must be efficiently shared and curated by data-intensive and global organizations, traditional storage systems are both hard to manage and offer little in terms of information value extraction," said Jeff Denworth, Vice President of Marketing, DDN. "Together with SRB, our WOS customers benefit from cloud-scale access and global distribution of intelligently curated Big Data volumes that now have the power to fuel computational research and analytics at massive scale."
Additional benefits include:
Rules-Based Data Management: The Nirvana SRB policy engine leverages the WOS built-in data placement policy engine to partition storage-level distributed data placement and replication. This helps achieve higher-level business and mission policy objectives keyed on information attributes, such as source types and rules, access labels, criticality, and observance of data container rules in sensitive environments.
Operational Resilience and Data Protection: Geographically-distributed WOS clusters propagate and protect data by maintaining replication compliance, regardless of failures, through peer-to-peer parallel operations. The result is an automated, high performance data distribution and protection mechanism that works with Nirvana SRB to enable robust and resilient distributed information infrastructure.
The solution is available immediately from DDN and General Atomics.For more information, visit http://www.ddn.com/products/web-object-scaler-wos & http://www.ga.com/nirvana.

DDN and General Atomics Introduce Cloud-Based Data Curation and Protection System to Enable Global Big Data Insight
IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - Nov 8, 2012) - Backup and disaster recovery software developer Paragon Software Group (PSG) conducted a survey among 377 IT professionals from August 29 - September 7, 2012. The results show that of those surveyed, utilizing local server storage was the most popular method (52.6 percent) for securing critical data in the IT environment, followed closely by Network Attached Storage (51.2 percent); with only about a 30 percent adoption rate of cloud services. Tape still maintains a footprint with a use of 38.8 percent.(Note: In some cases, multiple storage methods are employed within the same IT environment thus resulting in a totaling of storage methods greater than 100 percent.)
Paragon's numbers regarding the use of cloud services align with InformationWeek's annual cloud survey*, which indicates that the adoption rate of Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), a key element of cloud storage, may have reached its peak and is now trending to slower growth. Further, Paragon Software's survey results show that, of those surveyed, cloud services were not implemented in several industries including healthcare and aerospace/aeronautics. Also of note, the Finance industry's unique mix of very short system-recovery and long data-retention requirements makes it the market segment with the highest integration of cloud services (36.8 percent) in the storage environment. Finance is also the highest integrator of tape into the storage mix, 68.4 percent of those surveyed. The Logistics (66.7 percent) and Government (56.0 percent) industries were the second and third highest users of tape backup by industry.
Percentage of Local Server, Cloud, and Tape Use in Storage Environment by Industry:
Paragon Software Group has developed a portfolio of software solutions to meet the needs of today's IT challenges regardless of the storage technology mix.Known for pioneering image-based backup and disaster recovery technology in the early 90s the company offers multiple software solutions that help secure data and minimize system downtime including: Hard Disk Manager 12 and Drive Backup 11.

Paragon Software Survey Shows Only 30 Percent Usage of Cloud Services in Storage Environment; Local Server Storage the ...
Summary: Execs from Box, T-Mobile, and Verizon discuss what the cloud services value chain looks like and how network and services providers are starting to converge.
SAN FRANCISCO -- There are plenty of definitions of the cloud floating around, which has given way to a lot of random strategies and various business models for cloud services.
But those business models are starting to evolve as wireless carriers and cloud services providers get closer to working together rather than sticking it out (and working harder) on their own.
"What we spend a lot of time thinking about, from a network standpoint, is that we're a highway to the cloud," said Jason Young, vice president of product strategy at T-Mobile USA, during a panel discussion at the Open Mobile Summit on Thursday. He explained that basically means just connecting customers to the cloud-based services they want to use.
Jamie Perlman, senior director of mobile business development at Box, admitted that at the enterprise cloud storage company, they have a "much more simplistic view than a lot of people" when it comes to the cloud.
"From our perspective, the cloud is really just the Internet," Perlman said. He further described that viewpoint as rather than storing corporate content on your own servers, which can be difficult to access from mobile devices and beyond firewalls, the content is stored on Box servers, making it more accessible for everyone from virtually anywhere.
Perlman acknowledged that security is a big (if not the biggest) concern there, but he asserted that content is really safer on Box servers versus on-premise or other options because "that's all we do."
Young concurred, but he incorporated both enterprise and consumer cloud services under the same umbrella.
"We're very focused on filling out our own consumer-based suite with services that sort of preserve that level of security and safety for consumers' data," Young said.
Along with security, one of the other chief priorities in a cloud-based world is constant connectivity. Without an Internet connection, any productivity arguments and whatnot go out the window.
