Taiwan Industrial Technology Research Institute Uses Storage Made Easy Enterprise File Fabric

Storage Made Easy (SME), the trading name of Vehera LTD, announces that Taiwan Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) is using the its Enterprise File Fabric as the unifying platform for their file and object storage data.

ITRI is an applied technology research institute that employs more than 6,000 people. Its mission is to drive industrial development and create economic value through technology R&D. It is a player in autonomous vehicle development. Its technology combines real-time positioning, mapping technology, ML, and a range of sensors to simulate driving and capture test data in real world situations. This process generates massive amounts of data that need to be analyzed.

ITRI  decided upon the open source Ceph object storage platform to store its autonomous vehicle testing data, and it selected the Enterprise File Fabric as the platform for data management and collaboration for Ceph and file based storage.

Users now benefit from:

• Integration of file and object data estates
• Less complexity/increased productivity
• Replacement of legacy time consuming workflows
• In-built file recovery and file protection
• Multi-cloud data management and collaboration for multiple siloed data sets
• Data security and compliance.

Yungchen Wang, system administrator, ITRI environment, said: “The File Fabric has streamlined processing for me and our users while providing options we never had before.”
