Mountain View Data is a new global storage service company that leverages advanced open source distributed file systems and commodity hardware to provide reliable, scalable, high-performance and cost-effective offsite data storage and management solutions. The company's technology leadership, market savvy and price competitiveness make it well positioned to capture a significant share of the growing storage services market. Mountain View Data is developing advanced storage services based upon InterMezzoTM technology, which is an open source file system capable of tracking file system changes, and reintegrating these to other systems for mirroring, backup and synchronization. The company will also offer advanced snapshot and versioning file solutions through the deployment of SnapFSTM, which makes it ideally suited for data centers and companies in vertical markets, such as financial enterprises, where retention of multiple versions of files and folders is critical. Lastly, Mountain View Data is deploying LinuxDiskTM technology, which gives data centers an alternative to mainframe storage capabilities, management and security features, scalability and redundancy at PC hardware prices. The company is launching in U.S., Japan and China and will provide ISPs, ASPs, and enterprise data centers with reliable, scalable, high-performance and cost-effective offsite data storage and management solutions.
