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:
“Primitive peoples tried to annul death by portraying the human body—we do it by finding substitutes for the human body. Technology instead of mysticism!”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“Radio put technology into storytelling and made it sick. TV killed it. Then you were locked into somebody else’s sighting of that story. You no longer had the benefit of making that picture for yourself, using your imagination. Storytelling brings back that humanness that we have lost with TV. You talk to children and they don’t hear you. They are television addicts. Mamas bring them home from the hospital and drag them up in front of the set and the great stare-out begins.”
—Jackie Torrence (b. 1944)
“If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
