iMimic Networking Announces Software License Agreement with Storigen Systems.Business Editors & High-Tech Writers HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 22, 2002 iMimic's Software Will Optimize Web Caching Capabilities of Storigen's Distributed Storage Storing data in multiple computers or in computers that are geographically dispersed. This was an early term for storage that evolved into SANs and storage virtualization. See SAN and storage virtualization. Network Solution iMimic Networking, the leading-edge Web caching software developer, today announced the signing of a licensing and partnership agreement with Storigen(TM) Systems Inc. Under the terms of the agreement, iMimic will license its award-winning DataReactor Core Web caching software to Storigen for integration into Storigen's Distributed Storage Network solution. "iMimic is well known in the market for offering full-featured Web caching software that consistently leads the industry at independent cache benchmarking tests," said Dennis Hoffman, president and co-founder of Storigen Systems. "Their performance leadership, combined with their OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and expertise and willingness to customize the solution, enabled us to quickly integrate industry-leading caching capabilities into our multi-service platform and provide customers with an extremely powerful distributed storage network solution." iMimic develops the DataReactor Core, an Internet caching software technology that provides superior price-performance, response time and resource efficiency across the Web caching spectrum. This software will power the caching capabilities of Storigen's Distributed Storage Networking solutions, enabling Storigen to change the rules of data storage, management and delivery. "Storigen is developing an innovative and leading-edge product that will enable enterprises and service providers to deliver new kinds of services and applications such as e-learning, online corporate communications Corporate communications is the process of facilitating information and knowledge exchanges with internal and key external groups and individuals that have a direct relationship with an enterprise. and distributed file sharing Copying files from one computer to another.
