Analyst and Media Reaction to the DataProtect Launch
It has been just over a month since Kaminario launched the DataProtect™ high availability and data protection capabilities for the Kaminario K2 product line. Analyst and media reaction has been very positive — highlighting the advantages and challenges that we have ahead.

The wrong architecture can be disastrous...

Performance is what you look for when you invest in SSD storage, but when it comes to mission critical applications, it’s important to remember that performance isn’t the whole story. As with any mission critical storage, your SSD architecture must deliver the enterprise class availability, scalability and manageability applications require or you’ll risk some unwelcome downtime, and unsatisfied end users. You also want your SSD solution to integrate smoothly and easily with the rest of your infrastructure. Or as we like to say at Kaminario, you want a solution that is fast, safe, and easy.
