Menlo Park, CA — September 20, 2005 — Gear6 today announced the formation of a company Advisory Council, chartered to guide the development strategy for the Gear6 technology platform. The platform will support Gear6 solutions designed to deliver storage acceleration and real time performance for the mainstream enterprise data center.
Joining the council is Geoff Barrall, CEO, Trusted Data, and founder of BlueArc Corporation, the third leading US supplier of Enterprise NAS. Barrall will team with noted consultant and software engineer, Rich Boberg, a 12-year veteran in software development and management at NetApp, where he was employee number six.
Chosen for their strength in technologies for the data center, and senior experience in strategic planning Matt Oberdorfer, president and CEO, commented: “I am especially pleased to announce this team of advisors. Barrall's considerable knowledge in high performance storage and the data center will be invaluable support for our goal to develop core solutions that set new standards in accelerating storage for real time performance. Boberg's marketing, engineering, and software development expertise is also renowned, and will provide keen insight that will help create unique solutions to boost performance.”
The advisors will assist Gear6 in developing a powerful technology base for solutions that remove barriers to data center speed and performance.
Founded in 2002 as Engineered Intelligence, the company developed high-performance computing solutions using distributed, clustered architectures, which were deployed in conjunction with top-tier OEM partners.
In 2005, based on the widening gap between the increasing processing power of servers and lagging mechanical storage devices, the company invented additional technology that delivers scalable and transparent storage acceleration to mainstream enterprises. Gear6 solutions accelerate existing storage infrastructure for real time performance, eliminate bottlenecks, and guarantee transaction response times. These real time capabilities speed up applications, provide protection from peak load disruptions, and improve quality of service.
