Abstract
A network attached storage management appliance that can be inserted into a pre-existing network. The appliance sits between an end user and the available storage and optimizes performance and storage through acceleration of data, migration of data, compression of data, deduplication of data, and expansion of storage. The device moves data between lower- and higher-performance storage, with frequently accessed data sitting in higher-performance storage and infrequently accessed data sitting in lower-performance storage.
