BlueArc Corporation is a network storage device manufacturer headquartered in San Jose, California. BlueArc was founded in 1998 by Geoff Barrall[1], Jeff Pinkham and Jon Meyer. Initially based in the UK, BlueArc transitioned its HQ to the US (Mountain View) in the summer of 2001 and became a US corporation at that time although still maintains a sizable engineering facility in England.
BlueArc offers high performance network storage solutions for both data-driven vertical markets and the horizontal enterprise. The company offers both network attached storage and storage area network solutions, including the Titan 3000 family for highest performance and capacity, and the mid-range 1100 storage system. The 3000 family consists of the 3100 and 3200 models, featuring maximum performance scaling to 200,000 IOPs and 4 petabytes. The 1100 scales to 50,000 IOPs and 128 terabytes. The 3000 family scales to 200,000 IOPS and 4 Petabytes.
BlueArc competes with offerings from companies such as EMC, NetApp, Sun Microsystems and smaller companies including Isilon.
BlueArc's product line is differentiated through its hardware architecture, founded on FPGA technology. BlueArc holds the world record for single system and dual system performance on SPECsfs, an NFS test provided by SPEC.org.
