… OEM Relationship Confirmed by Amplidata

Amplidata announced that its AmpliStor XT technology has been chosen by Quantum Corp. for integration into new tiered storage and management solutions Quantum plans to offer.

As a result of this OEM relationship, customers will be able to better address the challenges currently presented by big unstructured data.

Increasing corporate knowledge is one of the main reasons behind the trend to store massive amounts of data: organizations want to retain as much information as they can in order to maintain and grow their business advantage. However, traditional disk technologies face reliability, scalability and cost issues when scaled to petabytes and beyond. Amplidata’s BitSpread Optimized Object Storage technology for big data, delivers high level of data durability – ten 9’s, fifteen 9’s or beyond – to provide 100% data accessibility over the extended content lifecycle and continuous access to content even when disks fail or entire sites have outages.

With Amplidata’s recently announced extreme throughput version of the BitSpread technology, a single system can be scaled across multiple racks to provide up to 10’s of GB/s of I/O, with near linear scaling of throughput as the system grows. This makes the Amplidata technology fast while consuming 50-70% less disk overhead than traditional storage systems.

Amplidata’s technology offers increased availability and accessibility of long-term content while reducing the necessary investments in terms of management time and cost. Customers can scale their AmpliStor system as required by adding high density storage nodes on the fly. There is no reconfiguration required, and no forklift upgrades.

"Big Data is the new normal for many high-growth market segments including broadcasting genomics, manufacturing and financial services," said Wim De Wispelaere, CEO of Amplidata. "Amplidata’s optimized object storage allows customers to meet even their most demanding growth predictions about unstructured data with unimagined scalability, and cost efficiency. The partnership confirms the importance of object storage for the industry and clearly identifies Amplidata as the technology leader for object storage and erasure coding technologies."
