Thriving at Petabyte scale & beyond

Software-Defined Object Storage for the POST-RAID era

Rigid & Brittle

Durability

ConstrainedExpansion & Extensibility

• RAID rebuild times too long• Backup costs too high• Not all data should be

treated the same, anyway

• Web servers and load balancers needed

• SMB and NFS are not web protocols

• Limited query and analysis

Legacy file storage technology is limiting the ability for entities to

thrive @ “scale”

The Need...

Multi-protocol ingest support (http, file, S3, Swift, block)

Internet accessible, web-scale

Ability to run on standard commodity hardware

Simple to deploy, manage, scale & evolve

Ability to continuously protect any amount of data, natively

Secure and Compliant

Future-proof (durable & extensible)

Caringo’s Swarm object storage software: • Aggregates the disk capacity across heterogeneous

clusters of commodity servers to…

• Create massively & dynamically scalable multi-tenant storage systems that are…

• Self-managing, self-healing, high-performance, and durable through time, where

• Files and their descriptive metadata (i.e. objects) are accessible whenever and wherever they are needed by users, administrators and by data services

How We Do It – Emergent Behavior

Nodes cooperate to perform processes

SWARM follows simple

rules to manage a complex system

Improves with size!

No single points of failure

How We Do It – Encapsulated Data

Metadata stored with data

No metadata databasesto manage

data + metadata

How We Do It – Encapsulated Data

Object is encapsulated

Includes all system, policy and custom metadata

How We Do It – Encapsulated Data

Object is portable & dynamic

Decoupled from hardware, location and apps

Freeing data to be accessed in multiple ways

Swarm Adapts

Swarm lets you grow at the paceyou choose and adapts to your requirements or workload

• Plug in new servers for more capacity & performance - address needs in real time

• New resources available in minutes

• Right resources to the right locations

• Local and geo-distribution

• Easily retire old hardware

Swarm

Swarm Protects

Swarm automatically manages the data protection you choose

• Protection per cluster, bucket or at the object level

• Seamlessly move between replication and erasure coding

• Store objects with different protection levels on the same server

• Auto-managed through Lifepoints

• Protect data based on value

Swarm Repairs

Swarm watches for issues andrepairs them automatically so you don’t have to

• Health Processor proactively checks integrity, availability and cardinality

• Fast Volume Recovery, content aware, repairs only damaged objects

• Assurance of data quality for the entire enterprise

• Provides business continuity
