In addition to the core user generated content (UGC) product, LiveCargo offers service providers the ability to dramatically lower the cost of storing UGC content. LiveCargo’s storage solution (code named RedRay) is a revolutionary and proprietary distributed file system that reduces the costs of storing content by as much as 15:1 over conventional SAN-based solutions. RedRay provides enhanced meta-data tagging and reporting and uses an intelligent caching mechanism to enhance file access speeds and facilitate the process of offloading the high demands of media files to media providers or to an independent dedicated file caching environment. Of critical importance, RedRay is hardware agnostic and can run on any hardware, while also featuring multiple levels of redundancy and data integrity safeguards for ultimate security. And because RedRay communicates over TCP/IP, each individual component (server) can reside in different geographical locations allowing for greater data protection through geographical separation.

This patent pending technology, when combined with the other LiveCargo applications, creates a one-two punch of dramatic cost savings and revenue generation.   RedRay offers other benefits as well:

• Because the data store can be separated geographically, the loss of one datacenter will not affect availability or data integrity,
• RedRay is designed to scale horizontally or vertically. It is also designed from the ground up to make scaling easy, automatic, and not require down time for expansion.
