Big Data, Big Challenges
More valuable data generated = more to manage indefinitely

VALUE of Data
– Power to analyze.
– Option to monetize or repurpose

VOLUME of Data
– ‘Free’ data collection
– Increasing data granularity
– Content being stored forever

MASSIVE Data Repositories
– Expensive to build, manage long-term
– Siloed, offline and unretrievable

Disk Archives Don’t Scale Well
A new technology is required for large-scale disk archives

Scale To Petabytes and Beyond
– Single-site and/or multi-geo

Protect from Data Loss Affordably
– High-density disks are vulnerable to bit errors
– Hardware RAID inefficient on TB+ drives
– Storing multiple full copies of data $$$$

Reduce Operational Costs
– Administrative/operational costs going up
– Need for self-managing, self-healing
– Need to reduce power and cooling

Durable for Decades
– Easy migration to new disk technologies

| Quantum Confidential
What is Quantum Lattus?
A new disk archive with advanced architectures & algorithms

Next Generation Object Storage



Flat namespace scales indefinitely
Both HTTP REST + file system access
Fountain Coding Algorithm




A type of Forward Error Correction (FEC)
Mature technology used in communications
(e.g. space missions, cell phones)
Designed with failure in mind – assumes
components WILL fail
Multiple copies of encoded data distributed
across object storage nodes
| Quantum Confidential
Quantum Lattus: The Forever Disk Archive
Scales
indefinitely
Scales to hundreds of PBs via
flat object namespace
High-speed, low-latency access
Flexible access via NFS, CIFS,
REST and StorNext FS
Data easily spread across
geographically dispersed sites
| Quantum Confidential
Self-healing &
self-migrating
Lower operating
& capital costs
Self-healing: Extreme
durability to ensure data is
never lost (better than RAID)
“Green” drives for lower initial
cost, less power & cooling
required
Self- migrating: Innovative
algorithms simplify upgrades
to new storage technologies
Lower maintenance costs due to
higher redundancy
TCO reductions of 50-70%
Quantum Lattus Scale-Out Architecture

Lattus S10 Storage Node
– Extensible storage for the object data

Lattus C10 Controller Node
– The brains of the Lattus object storage

Lattus A10 Access Node
– Provides NAS file system access

Lattus-M with StorNext Management
Integrated with StorNext for an
automated, durable archive
StorNext policy-based tiering
Includes Storage Manager keys
1 Billion Files (per MDC)
Virtually unlimited scalability

Quantum Lattus: The Forever Disk Archive
Scalable, durable & cost-effective disk archives

Scales indefinitely
– Scales to 100s of petabytes
– Data easily dispersed across multiple sites

Self-healing & self-migrating
– Extreme durability protects data from loss
– Redistribution algorithms simplify upgrades
to new storage technologies

Lower capital & operating costs
– Lower maintenance due to high durability
– Less power & cooling required
