High-performance File Sharing with Integrated Archive

Storage capacity and performance demands continue to increase, along with demand for the ability to share stored information easily and efficiently across multiple operating system platforms and multiple geographies. This demand has led to increased popularity of Clustered File Systems. 

Based on a SAN infrastructure with separated metadata servers, HyperFS provides an industry-leading solution rivaling others that are ten times more expensive. Now with the integration of QStar software, the solution automatically migrates older and less frequently accessed data from the HyperFS SAN to object storage and other types of archive storage, including cloud or tape, for scalability, re-use and disaster protection. Data in the archive is actively accessible to multiple users. This solution offers media and entertainment, oil and gas exploration, satellite imaging, and scientific research organizations the opportunity to store, access and manage valuable data more effectively and more economically.

Solution Benefits High-performance file access, supporting heterogeneous operating system environments Scale-out architecture supports virtually unlimited capacity Reduced TCO using Scale Logic RAID and HGST erasure coding High-speed through Metadata Controllers and direct block-based access Delivers significant storage cost savings using policy-based tiering to object storage or tape Support for a range of archive storage technologies including object storage, cloud and tape High levels of data security, data integrity and data preservation Geographically dispersed HGST object storage delivers highest availability and disaster protection Optional time stamp based partial file retrieval Optional mirroring and replication for archive disaster protection
