You Can Have It All – Object-Based Storage With NAS

You Can Have It All – Object-Based
Storage With NAS File System Support
Challenge
Highlights
Global Consolidation Repositories
Enterprises today are struggling under the weight of massive growth in unstructured
data. There is a need to formulate an IT strategy that combines the benefits of
cloud storage for big data with a seamless user experience.
Extensive User-Defined Policies
Access Objects Seamlessly Across
Robust Workflows
Limitless Scalability
Key Features
File Access Across All Sites for
Improved Productivity
Sophisticated Rule Engine
File Locking and Access Control
Military-grade Security
To implement cloud NAS and data protection today requires a collection of point
solutions that must be integrated, managed, and debugged by the end user.
However, the combined solution often fails along one or more of the following
dimensions:




disruption of existing operations
minimization of storage expense and bandwidth consumption
assurance of data availability
protection from theft and minimization of latency
Overcoming the challenges of big data and finding strategies to tap into the benefits
of big data storage can lead enterprises to deploy a plethora of point solution
technologies and then be left with the task of integrating them into their
infrastructure, configuring them for optimal performance, managing them over their
varied life cycles, debugging them when there is a failure in the IT environment, and
never achieving their expected performance or cost goals.

Complete Solution
Unique to Cleversafe is the company’s patented object-based storage solution, which leverages Information Dispersal
Algorithms (IDAs) to virtualize, slice, transform, and disperse data across a network of storage nodes. This innovative
approach to ingesting and storing data provides an inherent level of security with no single point of failure and high
fault tolerance. IDAs also disassociate the performance and reliability of individual components from application-level
performance and reliability. This feature allows customers to have continuous availability to their data, making it far
less susceptible to hardware, software, and network failures in their environment.
The Panzura Global Cloud Storage System combines high-performance Quicksilver Cloud Storage Controllers, a
global file system, and an innovative operating system to provide robust and secure global file management with the
cloud. Use cases include global storage consolidation, active archiving, disaster recovery, and backup. Customers are
able to view and access any file at any location at anytime from anywhere with minimal latency. This makes accessing
files from any site appear to have LAN-speed local performance. By supporting both CIFS and NFS protocols,
Panzura’s Quicksilver Cloud Storage Controllers drop into most infrastructures without any changes or disruption.
Military-grade encryption, dynamic file locking, user-managed snapshots, global deduplication, and flexible
permissioning enable both LAN-like file access and storage consolidation, meeting the needs of both storage users
and administrators.
With Panzura Global Cloud Storage Systems and Cleversafe’s object-based dispersed storage system, customers get
a proven, robust combination that provides global file access and management, flexible and near-infinite capacity
scalability, and native data protection, all in a seamless, low-latency solution.
