Morro Data Advances Performance and Scale of Global File Services with CacheDrive R1100

FREMONT, Calif., Oct. 17, 2017 -- Morro Data, an innovative provider of cloud-first global file services, today announced the advancement of its CloudNAS Enterprise service to dramatically improve workflow performance and scale, including its first rackmount cache file server – CacheDrive R1100. The CacheDrive R1100 allows Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) with hundreds of users to scale cloud capacity, manage files across multiple offices, and collaborate on large file formats without disrupting workflow. Now, the R1100, in conjunction with CloudNAS Enterprise, delivers the most versatile 3-in-1 global file services solution for unlimited file storage, multiple office sync, and disaster recovery.

“With customers demanding larger on premises cache gateways to handle large data sets, we are introducing R1100 to accelerate their global workflow. As data growth continues to compound, our Cache & Sync Technology and Global File System have done well for businesses who need to collaborate globally with large files,” said Paul Tien, founder and CEO of Morro Data. “CloudNAS Enterprise, now with the addition of CacheDrive R1100 and Active Directory support, addresses the highest demand of global file sharing by providing a large cache with 10GbE network connection.”

With the introduction of CacheDrive R1100 and Morro Data’s software support for Microsoft Active Directory, installation is nearly plug-n-play. The R1100 delivers 16TB of cache drive capacity in a compact 1U form factor. This allows IT professionals to seamlessly integrate the R1100 into racks, making it an immediate upgrade to an existing data workflow.

Additionally, the CacheDrive R1100 was built for enterprise-level performance thanks to its Intel Xeon Quad Core processor, ECC memory, enterprise hard disk drives, and 10GbE networking. Together with Morro Data’s CloudNAS Enterprise service – featuring Morro’s Cache & Sync Technology and Global File System – the CacheDrive R1100 delivers one of the most robust, cost-efficient solutions for larger scale operations in the cloud.

Highlights:

• 1RU form factor
• Intel Xeon E3 Quad Core processor
• 16GB ECC memory
• 16TB cache (which in turn support up 180TB cloud storage capacity)
• 10GbE network for highest local performance
• 250 users

There are a number of industries such as media & entertainment, architecture & engineering, life science, and machine vision, waiting to make the transition to the cloud and improve multiple office collaboration without compromising workflow. Now, with CloudNAS Enterprise’s support for Active Directory, in addition to file locking, versioning, and replication, any type of content creator can leverage the cloud for daily review or specialized edits.  Thanks to the addition of CacheDrive R1100’s 16GB cache, E3 processor, and 10GE network performance, they can implement a massive cloud footprint, while delivering large files to-and-from the cloud at local network speeds.

Morro Data will be at SMB TechFest on October 19, 2017, to speak with customers about our entire suite of products and services. For more information visit http://www.smbtechfest.com/.
