Ocarina Networks was a technology company selling a hardware/software solution designed to reduce data footprints with file-aware storage optimization.

The most notable examples were the DR-family of deduplication appliances, launched in 2012,[7] and integration of dedupe into Dell's Fluid File System.

These components were delivered in software or appliance form depending on customer, application, and underlying storage solution.

ECOsystem could also be configured to migrate optimized data to a secondary tier of lower-cost storage for disk-based archival applications.

ECOsystem in most cases is highly effective at achieving results on novel or proprietary file-types, as well as pre-compressed media such as JPEG images and MPEG4 video.

In NFO, media files (for example JPEGs) were stored in their native state, which eliminates the need for decoding, and allows customers to capture data-reduction benefits throughout the workflow, including web distribution (bandwidth savings and better end-user experience), and movement into archival systems.
