Caringo Names Jan Van Riel as VP of Advanced Technology(Wireless News Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) Caringo, a provider of content storage software delivering clustered storage infrastructure for both active and archive content, announced the hiring of Jan Van Riel as its VP of Advanced Technology, reuniting him with fellow co-founder of Content Addressable Storage, Paul Carpentier, Caringo's CTO. Van Riel and Carpentier together invented the technology that created the CAS industry while they were partners at FilePool, a company they sold to EMC, which incorporated the CAS concept into its multimillion-dollar Centera. Van Riel served eight years as EMC's Director of Technology following the acquisition of FilePool, where he was the company's CTO. Before FilePool, Van Riel was VP of Engineering and co-founder of Wave Research, with Carpentier, where they invented FileWave, the first automated, model-driven software distribution and management system. Prior to that, Van Riel led engineering as co-founder of Gnosis/Technosis, again with Carpentier, where the two invented SequeLink, the first client/server middleware product to connect heterogeneous front ends to multiple databases. "We are thrilled to bring Jan into the Caringo family and reunite the two fathers' of Content Addressed Storage under the same roof once again," said Jonathan Ring, Caringo President. "Jan has more than two decades of experience designing and developing new technologies and his work with Paul has produced seismic changes in the industry. We look forward to his contributions here at Caringo to further our success with CAStor."
