NASA is migrating back to on-premises 640 TB all-flash mission-critical storageBy Ryan Morris-Reade
NASA is migrating back to on-premises high-density storage technology. And the organisation has chosen to use Storbyte and StorONE, with the software-based S1 platform and ECO FLASH hardware storage array.
Storbyte says NASA has implemented the combination of technologies to lower their total cost of ownership (TCO) while increasing data protection and functionality in their High-Performance Computing (HPC) environment. The initial 4U deployment consists of 640 TB of all-flash storage, including a future capacity expansion to 1.5 PB.
The Storbyte ECO FLASH high-density hardware platform was developed for intense and uninterrupted read/write data performance requirements of military operation data centres such as NASA’s. Storbyte says these HPC environments must sustain a demanding balance of reliability, efficiency, density, and speed. It says its software-defined enterprise storage platform optimises storage hardware requirements and requires less physical media to achieve the same usable capacity.
