Tape Object Archive
Scalable Object Store Software with S3 Interface for Tape
Your data is growing enormously and you are reaching technical and budgetary limits in data storage and archiving?
Then XtreemStore is the ideal solution.
The extremely scalable object store archive software eliminates the limitations of classic hierarchical storage management (HSM) in file systems and archives data locally or in the cloud on tape media via an S3 interface. XtreemStore also has a Windows- and Linux-based file system interface.
Magnetic tapes will continue to be the most economical and energy-saving technology for long-term archiving of inactive data. The XtreemStore software combines a modern cloud interface S3 with the proven LTO storage technology.
XtreemStore is based on recognised market standards such as TAR containers and the LTFS file format.
How it works
Client – Server architecture
An integrated NoSQL database enables the management of many billions of objects. A distributed computer architecture enables horizontal scalability with simultaneous failure safety. XtreemStore is predestined for on-premise use in the company’s own data centre as well as a scalable, remote archive system for Managed Service Providers (MSP).
XtreemStore is a scalable object storage software for the archive medium tape
The XtreemStore software allows you to install an on-premise object store that offers an unbeatable total cost of ownership (TCO) by using tape as the archive medium.
Object storage has established itself on the market because of its arbitrary scaling and comparatively low costs per terabyte. AWS has set the market standard with its S3 interface, which many manufacturers follow. The AWS service “Deep Glacier” offers the lowest storage costs per terabyte, as this storage service is based on LTO magnetic tapes. GRAU DATA now has over 30 years of experience with storage solutions based on magnetic tapes. Based on magnetic tapes. Since magnetic tapes will continue to be the most cost-effective way to Since magnetic tapes will remain the most cost-effective way of archiving data in the long term, we decided years ago to implement a new software architecture. This software has now been available for some time under the product name “XtreemStore”.
