Bizanga Launches its Storage Technology for Email
Telenet, Belgium's Largest Provider of Broadband Cable Services, is First
Customer
BURLINGAME, California, October 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Bizanga, the global
company behind the most scalable and full-featured email and message
processing platform, today unveiled its storage system for email, delivering
a revolutionary change for large email infrastructure. The Bizanga storage
system incorporates breakthrough software innovations to combine the lowest
TCO in the industry with unlimited scalability and carrier-grade reliability.
It is already being deployed at Telenet, Belgium's largest provider of
broadband cable service.
"Operators are facing increasing demand for storing user-generated
content such as email, driving the need for ever larger data-storage
solutions", notes Jerome Lecat, CEO of Bizanga. "This has resulted in ever
increasing complexity as systems are upgraded and retrofitted to suit the
requirements. Bizanga's new storage technology breaks this mold and allows a
customer to reuse existing equipment, adding additional low-cost,
off-the-shelf storage hardware as needed without sacrificing throughput and
reliability."
Bizanga's storage technology for email delivers the following key
benefits:
- Unprecedented TCO - The total cost of ownership of a
full-fledged Bizanga storage solution is typically 30% of that of a
standard SAN solution. The system integrates de-duplication and
compression algorithms and can manage tiered storage policies to
further minimize storage costs.
- Unlimited Scalability - Bizanga storage solutions easily scale to
multi Petabytes or more while still serving objects with a standard
latency of 20ms.
- Unmatched Manageability - Through its freely definable policies,
the Bizanga storage system can handle different email retention
strategies as well as enable easy migration paths for underlying
storage infrastructure. Its self-healing design and complete management
system make it extremely straightforward to manage.
- Best-in-Class Integration capability - The Bizanga storage system
is fully integrated with scalable message storage systems such as
Zimbra. It also provides numerous standardized API's based on REST and
WebDAV, opening it up to use by a large number of existing
applications.
- Carrier-grade reliability - The patented RING technology used in
the Bizanga storage system delivers the ability to distribute storage
across multiple data centers, regardless of latency between data
centers. This provides for full disaster recovery capability, enabling
data access even in cases of complete site failure.
"We have been searching for a solution to replace our aging open-source
system for several years", said Peter Michiels, Telenet's Senior VP Network &
Systems Engineering. " In Bizanga's storage solution we found all the
capabilities we have been looking for. It allows us to develop storage
intensive applications offering a more compelling user experience while
significantly lowering our TCO."
