Thriving at Petabyte scale & beyond

+ Software-Defined Object Storage for the POST RAID era

Legacy file storage technology is limiting the ability for entities to thrive @ “scale”

Constrained Expansion & Extensibility Rigid & Brittle Durability

• • • • • Max out at PB level Data Silos Tedious management Service downtime for upgrades Specialized staff • • • RAID rebuild times too long Backup costs too high Not all data should be treated the same, anyway

Restricted Accessibility

• • • Web servers and load balancers needed SMB and NFS are not web protocols Limited query and analysis

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)

The Solution – Caringo SWARM 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 – Efficient Software Swarm Runs from RAM on any x86 hardware with Linux RAM CPU NIC Tune to any workload Boots from bare metal in minutes works on raw disk level

How We Do It – Emergent Behavior  No single points of failure SWARM follows simple rules to manage a complex system  Nodes cooperate to perform processes  Improves with size!

How We Do It – Encapsulated Data

Metadata stored with data

data + metadata

No metadata databases to manage

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 pace you 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 site 1

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

Erasure encoding

Swarm Repairs

Swarm watches for issues and repairs 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
