Darkive™ Adaptive Power Conservation
CAStor 4.0 brings energy efficiency to storage.
Introducing Darkive™ adaptive power conservation technology, a patent-pending innovation that enables companies to set a few parameters adaptively spin down disks and reduce CPU utilization. Run older hardware more cost effectively with Darkive.
Lower storage energy and cooling costs. New!
Reduce overall power consumption by configuring your storage nodes to automatically spin down if inactive for a specified period of time. Built in power utilization features automatically adapts to storage system operations and behaviors without admin intervention.
Meet energy reduction targets with proactive power conservation. New!
Power consumption can be proactively capped through the storage console interface.
Set maximum potential power consumption percentages for specific hardware.
Reduce power consumption in designated storage. New!
Designate individual CAStor nodes as archival nodes that only spin up as content is needed.
Keep extra capacity on hand more cost-effectively by placing nodes in stand-by mode until the available space in the cluster is low. Leverage Darkive node designation to minimize CPU utilization and energy consumption.
Save more content with less energy. New!
Save extra copies of your content with less energy than tape. Spun down servers consume less power yet are available at a moment's notice. Extend the life of older, less efficient servers in a more energy efficient manner. Darkive supports any hard drive with spin-down capability.
