'''BlueArc Corporation''' is an American computer network storage device manufacturer headquartered in [[San Jose, California]]. BlueArc was founded in 1998 by [[Geoff Barrall]],<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/sci_tech/1550365.stm BBC News - Web Without the Waiting]</ref> Jeff Pinkham and Jon Meyer. Initially based in the [[United Kingdom]], BlueArc transitioned its HQ to the US ([[Mountain View, California]]) in 2000 and became a US corporation at that time. It maintained an engineering facility in England. The company moved to San Jose in July 2001.<ref>[http://bluearc.com/html/news/press_releases/pr_headquarters_070201.shtml BlueArc Announces New Corporate Headquarters in San Jose, Calif.]</ref> BlueArc was acquired by [[Hitachi Data Systems]] on September 7, 2011.<ref>[http://www.hds.com/corporate/press-analyst-center/press-releases/2011/gl110907.html Hitachi Data Systems Announces Acquisition of BlueArc]</ref> |

BlueArc's products are [[network-attached storage]] (NAS) systems that are sold either as appliances bundled with storage, or as "NAS heads" supporting third-party [[storage area network]] connected storage. The product line included the low-end 1000 series, midrange 2000 series and high-end 3000 series. |
|||
BlueArc competes with offerings from companies such as [[EMC Corporation]], [[NetApp]], [[Oracle Corporation]] and smaller companies including [[Isilon]]. The company distributed its products on a direct basis, through third-party resellers, and by OEM partners, including a 5-year global agreement with Hitachi Data Systems.<ref>[http://www.byteandswitch.com/document.asp?doc_id=112520 HDS, BlueArc in Big NAS Deal]</ref> |

BlueArc's products can be clustered together into groups of up to 8 nodes. Some competing systems from Isilon, and NetApp offer similar clustering capabilities. |

BlueArc's hardware is implemented on [[field-programmable gate array]] (FPGA) technology. BlueArc announced a record for single system and dual system performance on SPECsfs, an [[Network File System (protocol)|Network File System]] (NFS) test provided by the [[Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation]], in June 2008.<ref>[http://www.spec.org/sfs97r1/results/sfs97r1.html All SPEC SFS97_R1 Results]</ref><ref>{{Cite news |title= BlueArc Titan 3200 Storage System Sets New Record for Network Storage Performance |work= Press release |publisher= BlueArc |date= June 17, 2008 |url= http://www.bluearc.com/html/news/press_releases/pr_performance_061708.shtml |deadurl=yes |archiveurl= http://web.archive.org/web/20081203230127/http://www.bluearc.com/html/news/press_releases/pr_performance_061708.shtml |archivedate= December 3, 2008 |accessdate= August 12, 2013 }}</ref> |
