Enabling New Ways to Access, and Manage Your Archive Data
Most of organizations are looking for agility to quickly archive their data. It is why some are looking for disk-based solution that provides affordable, reliable, high-capacity data archiving capability.
In case of massive data growth, tape is now required. With the LTFS Appliance, we bring you the advantages of disk while you continue to use tape.
Why LTFS ?
LTFS technology provides users the capability to drag and drop files without any effort to and from tape just as if they were located on a standard disk volume.
Why an Appliance ?
Deploying Nodeum into your favorite x86 commodity server will transform your server into an Archive Appliance. Physically connected it to a Tape Library and then users have convenient access to the data since it will appear in the OS directory tree structure.
The solution is "Software Defined" which enables resources virtualization by creating a level of abstraction between physical storage and users/applications. Fast disk cache storage plus high-capacity, low-cost LTO tape storage/archiving are fully managed by the system, aggregating two-tier heterogeneous resources.
The entire virtual storage is accessible through SMB and NFS, supporting both Microsoft environments, Linux & Apple Mac OS X.
The solution supports :
The search feature allows the browsing of the content catalog. Different criteria can be use to find exactly what you want.
This solution allows :
The solution is a LTFS Compliant Solution certified by LTO.org.
Break vendor lock-in by using an open standard. Storing your data in the Linear Tape File System (LTFS) open standard is the best strategy for supporting data transportability and long-term data accessibility.
End users access files using an explorer compatible view and can easily use classical "drag and drop". File access requires no intervention of an administrator or operator. File access when stored on a LTFS tape is measured in seconds. Once localized, file transfers are remarkably fast, up to 900MB/s in compressed mode and 360MB/s in native mode.
The solution allows massive growth simply by adding tape cartridges into the Tape Library. Cost of tape capacity per TB is extremely competitive.
Data mover move less used data from primary storage to tape storage, thus reducing the overall cost of storage.
Furthermore, tape storage is seen as a green storage. This has an impact on the electric bills but also decreases cooling requirements.
Hardware upgrades are non-disruptive, and more storage capacity can be managed with fewer resources.
