DataGravity
today announced that its first product, the DataGravity Discovery
Series, was selected as the Best of Show award winner, as well as the
Gold award winner in the New Technology category at TechTarget’s Best of
VMworld 2014 awards. On SearchServerVirtualization.com, the judges
explain that they chose the DataGravity technology because of its
“unique approach that uses a passive engine to do real-time scanning to
deal with compliance questions and data usage.”
Launched last week, the DataGravity Discovery Series is the industry’s
first ever data-aware storage platform that tracks data access and
analyzes data as it is stored to provide greater visibility, insight and
value from an organization’s information assets. The DataGravity
Discovery Series delivers storage, data protection, data governance,
search and discovery, powered by an enterprise-grade hardware platform
and patent-pending software architecture that enables midmarket
companies to glean new insights and make data-driven business decisions.
The unified storage platform offers insights at the same richness of
intelligence, regardless of whether the data is block or file. It
supports NFS, SMB and iSCSI LUNs, with the additional capability to
manage virtual machines natively. The DataGravity software architecture
lets IT teams, as well as security, compliance and line-of-business
users unlock the value in their data by automatically analyzing
information as it is ingested, without impacting production operations.
The result is active insight that will fundamentally change what the
market expects from primary storage and transform how professionals in
IT, marketing, compliance, human resources, sales and other departments
work.
“Organizations have the right to know information about their stored
data, which is what we are enabling with the DataGravity Discovery
Series. We are giving visibility into the data and taking storage from a
back-office container to a front-office asset,” said Paula Long, CEO and
co-founder of DataGravity. “These awards confirm that the industry
understands the future of storage is about much more than the data
container and is really about the insights the data holds.”
The Best of VMworld 2014 awards winners were selected from more than 175
entries by an independent team of experts and editors from TechTarget's
SearchServerVirtualization.com, who evaluated products based on
innovation, value, performance, reliability and ease of use.
