Technology
The company's ECOsystem (Extract, Correlate, Optimize) provides data reduction technology, providing both deduplication and content-aware data compression in a reliable, scalable, policy-based package. ECOsystem consists of 3 primary components, an optimizer, a reader, and a management and reporting framework. These components are delivered in software or appliance form depending on customer, application, and underlying storage solution.
The standard ECOsystem workflow is a post process. Files are first stored to disk in native form. Policies are used to specify which files are to be optimized (based on age, location, or file type), and what compression settings to use. Policies are commonly used to avoid optimization of files that are actively being modified. ECOsystem may also be configured to migrate optimized data to a secondary tier of lower-cost storage for disk-based archival applications.

Famous quotes containing the word technology:
“One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“Our technology forces us to live mythically, but we continue to think fragmentarily, and on single, separate planes.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“The real accomplishment of modern science and technology consists in taking ordinary men, informing them narrowly and deeply and then, through appropriate organization, arranging to have their knowledge combined with that of other specialized but equally ordinary men. This dispenses with the need for genius. The resulting performance, though less inspiring, is far more predictable.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
