Big Data, Big Challenges

VALUE of Data– Power to analyze. – Option to monetize or repurpose

VOLUME of Data– ‘Free’ data collection– Increasing data granularity– Content being stored forever

MASSIVE Data Repositories– Expensive to build, manage long-term – Siloed, offline and unretrievable

2

More valuable data generated = more to manage indefinitely

Quantum Confidential|3

Scale To Petabytes and Beyond– Single-site and/or multi-geo

Protect from Data Loss Affordably– High-density disks are vulnerable to bit errors– Hardware RAID inefficient on TB+ drives– Storing multiple full copies of data $$$$

Reduce Operational Costs– Administrative/operational costs going up– Need for self-managing, self-healing– Need to reduce power and cooling

Durable for Decades– Easy migration to new disk technologies

Disk Archives Don’t Scale Well

A new technology is required for large-scale disk archives

What is Quantum Lattus?

Next Generation Object Storage Flat namespace scales indefinitely Both HTTP REST + file system access

Fountain Coding Algorithm A type of Forward Error Correction (FEC) Mature technology used in communications

(e.g. space missions, cell phones) Designed with failure in mind – assumes

components WILL fail Multiple copies of encoded data distributed

across object storage nodes

A new disk archive with advanced architectures & algorithms


Quantum Lattus: The Forever Disk Archive

Scales indefinitely

Scales to hundreds of PBs via flat object namespace

High-speed, low-latency access

Flexible access via NFS, CIFS, REST and StorNext FS

Data easily spread across geographically dispersed sites

Self-healing & self-migrating

Self-healing: Extreme durability to ensure data is

never lost (better than RAID)

Self- migrating: Innovative algorithms simplify upgrades to new storage technologies

Lower operating & capital costs

“Green” drives for lower initial cost, less power & cooling

required

Lower maintenance costs due to higher redundancy

TCO reductions of 50-70%

Quantum Lattus Scale-Out Architecture

Lattus S10 Storage Node– Extensible storage for the object data

Lattus C10 Controller Node– The brains of the Lattus object storage

Lattus A10 Access Node– Provides NAS file system access


Disk-Based Archives – Where they Fit

Primary Disk

Archive Disk

Nearline Tape Active

Vault

More demand for predictable restore times of disk archives. But with reliability and scalability at a low price

Lattus-M with StorNext Management

StorNext policy-based tieringIncludes Storage Manager keys1 Billion Files (per MDC)

Virtually unlimited scalability

Integrated with StorNext for an automated, durable archive


Quantum Lattus: The Forever Disk Archive

Scales indefinitely– Scales to 100s of petabytes– Data easily dispersed across multiple sites

Self-healing & self-migrating– Extreme durability protects data from loss– Redistribution algorithms simplify upgrades

to new storage technologies

Lower capital & operating costs– Lower maintenance due to high durability– Less power & cooling required
