ORACLE & NODEUM
Keep online your data store on Tape Library
Many companies are facing a data generation acceleration and even an explosion. This is only a start. Today, companies can hardly predict how much data they will generate and store in 3 or 5 years from now. These industries will face much longer term retention policy. At the same time, they will have to reconsider the higher data security and an absolute data Integrity for any given data format.
Storing data is one easy thing. Accessing it quickly and effortlessly is another. In fact, you don’t manage 10 million files the same way that you manage 10 thousand files. Silo storages are good technology to cope with past volumes. However, we know that new data “Spaces and Requirements” need new technological solutions, and adding different silo storages increase the complexity on how the data are accessed. We understood that “Storage Energy Consumption” has become a top listed priority. A more effective, more economical and greener solution has become a must.
Using Nodeum with Oracle-StorageTek's hardware combines best-in-class business application software with a high-performance, cost-efficient, scalable digital content storage and archiving solution. The solution provides an automated self-service platform to retain your business data longer while keeping up with increasing quantity and size while reducing your storage costs.
Traditionally, data is kept on primary enterprise storage devices, resulting in high costs and relatively short retention times. By taking advantage of low-cost digital tape storage and advanced storage management software, Nodeum and Oracle can provide increased retention times at lower cost in a solution that is easy to use.
We know that 80 to 90% of your data is rarely consulted whereas 10 to 20% is regularly used. Nodeum enables the storage of the relevant data on the right place while being able to keep a universal access to all the information. The integrated data analytic module allows you to evaluate the exact data which are rarely access by your users and move them into another storage tier in keeping a transparent and easy way for accessing it. Different workflows are available to automate all of these data movements.
It’s easy to store and access data but searching after the data you need to access to can take a lot of time if the data are spread in different storage silos. Nodeum has an answer, the automated indexation system catalogs all the contents available in any storage silos. With the keyword association add-on, you can classify the information for a fast and business oriented search capability. Instead of spending days in looking after data, Nodeum retrieve the data localisation in seconds !
Nodeum has different workflows available to adapt your business operations into specific data movement without any change in your standard procedures. Three business oriented workflows are available:
Nodeum provides powerful, centralized storage management capabilities. This highly flexible, software solution for high capacity data simplifies the complexity involved in managing networked storage.
Nodeum is designed to scale so that they can be deployed in large data centers as well as small regional offices. The below figure shows how Nodeum can be deployed within a customer’s existing application environment and archive to Oracle ZS Disk, StorageTek tape libraries or even cloud storage.
