Central Store and File Data - The Plan Ahead…
Analysis
Ingest
• Scale out Single file system, single volume...up to 40+ PBs
• Multiple Usage including Missions and Central Store
• Better performance, from Storage and Central Computing
• Massive scalability support for HPC and Big Data requirements
• Private Cloud to support on demand storage and computing

• Scalability (Performance and Capacity) • It scales both performance and capacity at the same time. (Unique)• Single file system, single volume...up to 40+ PBs (No limitation of 16TB file systems)
• Ease of Management• Can add capacity and/or performance instantly. (Unique) • NEVER need to do any raid, volume management or performance tuning (Unique)
• Data Protection and Flexibility• Ability to set data protection( N+1, N+2, N+3 and N+4) at directory or file level with
the ability to change the protection on the fly (Unique)
• Easy Migration to Future Generation HW without Downtime• NEVER have to do a migration or forklift upgrade with this system, we can add more
performance or capacity by just adding nodes to the existing cluster and can retire the old nodes without any down time to the Central Store (Unique)
