Data Deposit Box Announcing Integrated Support for S3 Compatible Object Store Technology

Data Deposit Box Inc. is improving its MSP and enterprise system architecture with integrated supporting for S3 compatible Object Store technology.

MSP’s can manage multiple petabytes with a single IT resource.

This integration will improve backend storage options, overcoming classic RAID-based limitations. MSP’s and enterprises alike will be able to improve service up-time and reduce administrative overhead by eliminating administrative time wasted on complex maintenance and routine scheduling that exists with market services based on classic RAID technology.

Troy Cheeseman, president and COO, states: “With this integration feature and our proven technology Data Deposit Box can now boast a near ‘zero touch’ backend architecture while managing petabytes of data with one IT resource. We are confident that our MSP and enterprise partners will be impressed with the minimal amount of administration it takes to manage a complete DDB solution. This new solution will open the DDB product to additional MSPs and the enterprise globally. Our new and existing partners will be able to leverage S3 products as a centralized storage solution without expensive backend infrastructure. This will simplify the public and private cloud market for both the enterprise and the SMB.”

With DDB’s integrated support for S3 compatible storage, all of the classic administrative challenges of managing big data are solved. As drive capacity has increased, the mean time between failures has decreased. RAID rebuild times can take days rather than minutes and the risk of another drive failure during the rebuild can be high. This classic architecture is simply experiencing too much stress and cannot meet the growing data demands. Taking these factors into consideration, the company’s solution is supporting S3 compatible Object Store technology, which allows businesses to store more data and at less cost.

Benefits of object store technology include:

• Up to 98% of the HDD is free for storing files

• Saves up to 80% in power consumption in cold archive use cases

• Expand capacity in minutes

• Store small or terabyte sized files without performance degradation

• Automation technology manages and monitors the system end to end

• S3 Object Store technology is reliable and scalable

• No service downtime

• A single IT resource can manage petabytes of data

“By supporting and integrating into S3 compatible systems, both the Data Deposit Box architecture and infrastructure are now infinitely scalable. We have effectively eliminated the need for RAID based MSP solutions while simultaneously reducing the administrative complexity and overhead normally attributed to current market offerings.” said Tim Jewell, founder and CEO, DDB.
