About infinite io, inc. infinite io is changing the underpinnings of data storage by putting storage intelligence in the network. Our unique architecture responds to metadata requests faster than the most advanced all-flash storage arrays, significantly increasing the performance of existing storage. And when that metadata indicates files are no longer being accessed, they are migrated to low-cost cloud storage, all without sacrificing security or availability. Installing like a network switch, our products are totally transparent to existing systems and require zero workflow changes. For the first time, storage performance can be dramatically increased without a forklift storage array upgrade and traditional file-based workflows can take immediate advantage of low-cost cloud storage with no application changes, gateways, or complex new file systems.
