Perifery and Seagate
Technology announced a new on-premises solution for scaling out
object storage. Integration between Perifery Swarm and Seagate Exos
CORVAULT provides users in high-growth edge markets, including media
and entertainment, health care, retail, and manufacturing, with a
high-performance, scalable, and secure object storage solution that
dramatically lowers CPU requirements, reduces costs, and improves the
end-user experience.
"Organizations in high-growth edge markets want to manage large data
volumes with the minimum amount of human overhead and with the best
possible total cost of ownership," said Abhijit Dey, general manager of
Perifery. "Our collaboration with Seagate provides customers with a
feature-rich object storage solution at a price point that outperforms
equivalent JBOD-based solutions."
Seagate Exos CORVAULT is a high-performing, efficient, durable
multi-petabyte capacity block storage system that is self-healing and
brings five-nines availability to scale out storage for data center
deployments. CORVAULT breakthrough technologies provide hyperscale
efficiencies, rapid deployment, and automatic hard drive renewal for
less e-waste and operational costs. Perifery Swarm improves content
archiving, preservation, and distribution through deep S3 compatibility
and the ability to scale to thousands of petabytes and thousands of
users. Swarm's cross-node erasure coding and data replication,
safeguards digital assets for future utilization and monetization.
Running Swarm on top of the CORVAULT self-healing block storage system
provides users with an easy-to-manage object storage solution that can
scale out object storage from just one CORVAULT up to and beyond 200PB.
The innovative solution features encryption at rest without putting CPU
load on the software servers and self-healing hard drives that can avoid
performing many system-level data regeneration tasks.
"We're excited to team up with Perifery and answer a critical need for
our customers," said Paul McParland, vice-president of enterprise
solutions at Seagate. "Our on-premises object storage solution is a
perfect option for customers seeking a cost efficient and
high-performance system, ensuring media and metadata are easy to manage
and secure across large libraries."
Perifery's Object Matrix media-focused object storage platform is also
integrated with Seagate CORVAULT. Combining Object Matrix and the
CORVAULT self-healing block storage system brings several benefits to
users, including enhanced metadata management, support for hybrid cloud
workflows, and media management via Vision application.
