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 Confidential|
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
