Object storage is an advanced model of data storage, optimized for unstructured data and archival storage. Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Cleversafe have collaborated to offer a comprehensive object storage solution to address growing unstructured data storage challenges across a wide range of use cases including active archive, backup, content storage and distribution, sharing and collaboration and application data repository. Cleversafe’s dsNet software uses information dispersal algorithms (IDA) to store unstructured objects at petabyte scale and beyond. This is possible because the dsNet IDA uses erasure coding rather than replication to meet data storage reliability and availability requirements. Together, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Cleversafe provide an object storage solution that enables massive scalability while lowering TCO and reducing the complexity of managing petabyte-scale storage.
