Giving a Dam

The ExaStore system consolidates data into a single "pool" that can be directly accessed (including remotely) by all workstation clients and workflow servers on a given network. This greatly simplifies data management and frees up production servers to focus—appropriately—on production. In addition, says Lauzon, ExaStore is scalable on-the-fly, meaning that system doesn't need to go down in order to expand. KPG claims productivity increases from 20 percent to 30 percent with ExaStore.
