The edge Completes the Cloud

The Cloud has limitations that cannot be overcome without the Edge. YottaStor, utilizing their Patented Processes, builds Edge Solutions that overcome the limitations of centralized computing - bandwidth, latency, data privacy & autonomy. The Edge overcomes these limitations by moving the data and processing closer to the source of data generation. Computing Solutions must deliver along a continuum from core to edge and back to core. Cloud and Edge computing are complimentary, enterprises must capitalize on data and business insights by leveraging both models. Analytics will need to be at the edge for near real time feedback and to avoid the impact of latency and bandwidth.

Utilizing YottaStor’s Patented Process, data moves from the Edge to the Cloud & the Enterprise and back to the Edge again. YottaStor’s Edge Solutions are integrated with the major Public Cloud providers.

YottaStor Design Tenets 

YottaStor Circle Circles 1 2 Icon Blue 1 142 142 1.png

Capture & Store Data Once

Write data to disk once during its lifecycle. The accelerating velocity at which data is being created as well as the sheer magnitude of data being managed will overwhelm network capacity, rendering impractical any attempt to move data electronically.

Process Data at the Edge

The only point in the architecture that an organization can affordably process data is during the ingest process. This requires co-locating processing and storage. Then users can create and capture the metadata required to access the data in the future.

Eliminate RAID

The data durability requirement is actually greater than traditional storage environments. Using new approaches such as replication and erasure coding must be embraced to meet this requirement.

Adopt Self-Healing,
Self-Replicating Technology

In order to reduce the cost/GB/month the technology must be self-healing and self-replicating. This capability will substantially reduce the number and cost of FTEs required to manage the storage system.

Deploy a Federated
Global Namespace

Adopting namespace technologies that support billions of objects in a single namespace eliminates cost and support complexities.

Design for ever-increasing Data Variety, Volume & Velocity

The storage system must demonstrate the ability to scale in 3 dimensions: Data types which will evolve and extend over time, the daily ingest requirement which will continue to increase, and the overall capacity of the storage system which will expand at accelerating rates.

Automate Data Movement to
Less Expensive Storage

The storage system must continually migrate data to less expensive storage, letting customers lower their overall storage cost. The key metric for storing data becomes cost/GB/month for storing the data. Once this metric is developed for a specific organization, then the year-to-year planning process will focus on reducing this cost.

Access through Web Services
(Ex. S3, REST API, Etc.)

This level of application abstraction is key to allowing the operational optimization of the storage cloud without impacting the application layer. One important benefit of this capability is the elimination of “location awareness” that applications must have in POSIX-compliant storage environments.

Access Data at the Edge
from the Public Cloud

YottaStor has over 10 Years of Edge Cloud expertise in delivering solutions that provide access at the Edge. YottaStor has fully integrated our YottaDrive Edge solutions with the major public cloud providers. Cloud to Edge and back to Cloud provides reach in and reach back capabilities. YottaDrive Cloud, hosted in Public Cloud, integrated with the Edge, supports the most challenging workloads.

Purpose Built Storage & Processing Node

YottaDrive Edge is a purpose built large data object storage & processing node that utilizes our patented process. The YottaDrive Edge supports billions of objects in a single global namespace, scales to Exabyte’s, delivers extreme network throughput, delivers high performance processing to meet the most demanding workloads, performs in connected & disconnected environments, is self-replicating and self-healing, is integrated with public cloud providers, provides end-to-end security and integrates existing encryption capabilities all below traditional cloud cost models.   

YottaDrive Cloud

YottaStor offers two options to store and analyze data from any YottaDrive Edge device, YottaDrive Cloud and YottaDrive Enterprise. Multiple YottaDrives can be connected together via a high-speed IP spine and leaf network that allows your Edge data to be stored on the YottaDrive Cloud or YottaDrive Enterprise. All connected devices create a single global namespace that can store hundreds of billions of objects and scales to multiple exabytes of capacity.

Flexible Acquisition & Deployment Models

YottaStor offers a variety of acquisition and deployment models that includes capital acquisitions, utility based pricing and Public Cloud. YottaStor solutions can be deployed at the extreme Edge in containers, in an enterprise data center, in ruggedized systems and in specialized rack and chassis configurations. YottaStor offers Environmental Kits for all of their solutions allowing you to deploy in the harshest environments.
