Industry Verticals Tackle Unstructured Data

• Media and Entertainment – video Pre- through Post-Production which requires secure distribution and hassle-free scalability on a mix of standard hardware

• Retail Consumers – HTTP accessible Photo and Video Sharing that offloads SQL databases to custom metadata which significantly reduces web applications complexity and latency

• Research (images, raw datasets) – Which requires robust multi-tenancy for shared access to large datasets and integrated metadata customization.

• Digital asset management (unstructured files) –  A global scale-out storage repository with integrations to Alfresco and other S3-based asset management solutions.

Companies in every one of these markets face many storage challenges where traditional file-based storage systems tend to fall short.

• Scalability – Object storage does not face the same file count and capacity limits of file-based NAS systems.
• Interoperability – Object storage has better interoperability with various protocols with the flexibility needed to move data across a global namespace.
• Data Backup – Continuous data backup protection that reduces the risk of data loss and can reduce data restoration time after a system failure.
• Pay-as-you-grow pricing – Avoidance of substantial capital expenditures for storage acquisition through a pay-as-you-go economic model.
• Searchability – More effective and efficient use of metadata
