Extracting Value From Old and New Data
OvationData helps organizations preserve their data --
which may be recorded on everything from paper and tape to hard
disk drives -- and extract actionable insights from that data
by converting it into a format for ready access and analysis.
Recently, the company decided that it wanted to do more for its
customers: enable them to store their data in a more
cost-effective, turnkey manner that wouldn't require additional
help from in-house IT personnel. It then selected Quantum to
provide the storage infrastructure and expertise to launch a
private cloud, storage-as-a-service offering.
Enabling Cost-Effective Data Preservation and Ready
Access
OvationData chose to build its new cloud service on Quantum's
StorNext scale-out storage platform, using a multitier architecture
featuring a combination of StorNext QXS high-speed disk,
next-generation Lattus™ Object Storage and StorNext AEL tape
archive. By leveraging the data management features of
StorNext -- including its automated, policy-driven tiering
software -- OvationData can apply the right storage technology
at the right time. Archiving data on disk, object storage or tape
will allow OvationData's customers to control costs and scale to
meet data growth demands:
- StorNext QXS disk storage delivers the high bandwidth and low
latency often needed to support seismic analysis on extremely large
datasets.
- StorNext's automated tiering capabilities accelerate the
process of moving data into and out of archive storage. Customers
can also perform this task manually through StorNext's APIs, which
allow for rapid data retrieval, even if the data is stored
offline.
- Lattus Object Storage enables users to extend online storage
with a massively scalable online tier and spread data across
different geographic locations to protect it in the event of a
disaster.
- The Extended Data Life Management (EDLM) feature of the
StorNext AEL system economically preserves data integrity for
long-term data retention.
Supporting Quotes
Gregory G. Servos, President and CEO, OvationData
"The Quantum StorNext platform gives us the extreme scale needed
to accommodate our customers' ever-increasing data growth. We will
now be able to preserve data and enable customers to derive new
value from that data -- no matter how large their capacity
needs become."
Geoff Stedman, Senior Vice
President, StorNext Solutions, Quantum
"OvationData's private cloud offering demonstrates the value a
multitier storage architecture can deliver, particularly where
historic data continues to generate long-term strategic value. It
also shows that companies don't need to compromise affordability
for data access."
