Scale-out Object Store for PB/hr Backups and Long Term Digital Archive

The primary challenge facing enterprise deployments is how to effectively scale a capacity optimized solution across massive amounts of long lived data for data protection and disaster recovery. Scale-out object store architectures enable massive modular scalability to support long-term data retention, while maintaining simple shared access and maximum utilization via standard front-end interfaces. Underlying object store architectures enable advanced features such as scalable efficient inline global data deduplication, dynamic provisioning and automatic data distribution across multi-generation grid, flexible data resiliency with erasure coding and multi-node data distribution, and distributed background task workload. This session will review how such as architecture is used within NEC’s HYDRAstor scale-out storage system to enable extreme scale-out throughput and capacity for backup and archive for long-term data, while maintaining a simple management paradigm with a self healing distributed resilient system.
