[News] Ocarina Reader Uses GNU/Linux

Ocarina claims online de-dupe breakthrough

| The ECO process is extremely processor-intensive, so the optimizer box is a 
| 16-core Linux appliance. It works out-of-band, pulling files off your NAS 
| system, compressing them and then putting them back in Ocarina format - a 
| size-reduced shadow format, with bit-for-bit consistency checks.   
| 
| File reconstruction is much faster and is handled by reader software, also 
| Linux-based. You can install it as a filter on a web or application server, 
| or on a workstation, or buy a complete Ocarina Reader appliance.

| A couple of years ago you reiterated that IBM was Microsoft's biggest 
| competitor and you said not just on the business side, but overall. If I ask 
| you who is Microsoft's biggest competitor now, who would it be?

| Ballmer: Open...Linux. I don't want to say open source. Linux, certainly have 
| to go with that.
