XenData Announces Synced Private Cloud Archives
Jul 13, 2021
Global Sync
Files are continuously synchronized, requiring minimal bandwidth because only stub file representations are synced. And when a stub file is read, it triggers a direct file transfer between locations.
XenData, the provider of highly scalable data storage solutions, announces availability of an object storage S3 interface for its entire range of on-premise active archives that provide long-term secure storage on LTO data tape cartridges. This transforms the XenData archive systems that scale to 100+ petabytes into private cloud data repositories that compete with public cloud storage services, such as AWS Glacier and the Archive Tier of Azure object storage. The S3 interface is enabled by a simple software upgrade.
For active archives with capacities above 100 TB, storage systems based on LTO data tape libraries have an attractive total cost of ownership that is significantly lower than public cloud object storage. Most data stored worldwide is infrequently accessed but it is retained because it still has value. An S3 enabled XenData LTO archive provides restore times of around two minutes, which is suitable for most infrequently accessed data repositories. And when compared to AWS Glacier or Azure Archive Tier object storage, the XenData private cloud solution provides higher performance at a lower cost, free of any egress charges.
The new S3 interface allows remote access to a XenData LTO archive from anywhere worldwide using secure HTTPS. It also supports replication of one LTO archive to a second LTO system at another location which can even be on a different continent.
In addition to the S3 interface, XenData launches Global Sync, a synchronization service that links multiple S3 enabled LTO archives, creating a single global file system accessible anywhere worldwide. As soon as a file is archived to LTO at one location, it becomes available as a stub file within the global file system. When a user makes a change by writing, overwriting or deleting a file, that change is propagated to all locations. This provides a consistent up-to-date set of files across the entire distributed organization.
When files are restored from another location, they are transferred directly using peer-to-peer, multi-threaded HTTPS, which delivers secure fast file transfers. The Global Sync service uses a cloud database, but the files themselves are never stored in public cloud object storage, avoiding cloud storage and egress fees. Furthermore, because the new service only synchronizes file system metadata, it requires minimal Internet bandwidth.
Dr. Phil Storey, XenData CEO, commented, "Our new private cloud solutions keep the attractive aspects of LTO on-premises archives which include cost-effective scalability and adds the ease of distributed access which has traditionally been associated with public cloud storage."
