Darkive enables users of Caringo Swarm object storage software to adaptively spin down disks and reduce CPU utilization. Administrators have complete control over Darkive and can specify periods of inactivity before disks and processors are spun down. In addition, there is a configurable time interval to wake up the node to check and automatically repair any data integrity issues via built in health processing. Darkive allows users to:

• Lower their energy and cooling costs
• Extend the life of all hardware by reducing constant use
• Provide more efficient operation of older hardware
• Provide similar operational costs of tape while maintaining sub-second access to data when needed
• Set specific nodes as deep archive nodes that awaken only when needed, fill disk by disk, and go back to sleep until access is required


“The access patterns and retention requirements for enterprise data have changed considerably over the last few years to a store-everything, always accessible approach and storage must adapt,” said Adrian J Herrera, Caringo VP of Marketing. “We developed Darkive to help organizations of any size extract every bit and watt of value while keeping their data searchable, accessible, and protected. Caringo Swarm is the only object storage software solution on the market with this feature, and being awarded the patent is validation of our innovative approach.”
