“Mountain View Data works with open source software such as
InterMezzo, SnapFS, Lustre, and LinuxDisk to develop storage
networks based on low-cost IDE hard drives, says Miller. “Our
technology works with SCSI as well, but the IDE cost advantage is
huge,” he says. “With our technology, we can make IDE very
reliable.”
“InterMezzo is a distributed file system which allows the
replication of large data pools, such as system images or large
servers. Lustre works with clustered file systems under Linux.
SnapFS allows data snapshots. LinuxDisk allows low-cost Linux
servers to serve as storage controllers.”
“Mountain View Data expects to close its Series A round of
funding in December with six or seven companies, says Miller.”
