Re: Nice idea, but what's new about it?
Please do check out our white paper, this will show you we have developed a truly new distributed storage platform and unique way of presenting storage with all required enterprise features which can be expected from a modern storage platform. There are numerous differences when comparing to products like CEPH, Parallels, ScaleIO, etc.. Think of: Hyper-scale and Hyper-converged, unified protocol (block, file and object), storage efficiency (inline dedupe and compression without performance impact), node/rack and data center redundancy (up to 4 locations), high performance storage, cost effective, no traditional FS limitations, scalability into 1000's of nodes, client side caching and lots more. If reading through our feature list and white paper doesn't convince you of the uniqueness of our product please connect with me and I can elaborate.
