HGST ActiveScale P100 System

The ActiveScale? P100 is a modular cloud object storage system that facilitates a "Data Forever" architecture, combining excellent data and investment protection with ease of operation. Enterprises can scale out to over 23PB (raw) - within a single data center or across multiple geographies (geo-spread). The ActiveScale P100 is designed for large-scale unstructured data sets that require long-term retention and fast retrieval, so you can easily keep up with rapid data growth and demanding business objectives.

Simplified Deployment and Operation

The ActiveScale P100 provides an Amazon S3?-compliant object interface that easily integrates with your existing S3-aware applications and enables a hybrid cloud configuration. Unified Data Access provides additional flexibility, enabling your cold NFS files to be ingested and stored cost-effectively in the same highly scalable object storage system. ActiveScale SM offers real-time system management across an entire namespace, not just a single rack. And for strategic management, ActiveScale CM cloud-based analytics provide historical trends and predictive capabilities to drive smarter decisions and optimal business results.

Dynamic Scalability

The ActiveScale P100 is based on a modular storage node architecture that starts with 864TB of raw storage and scales up in increments of 864TB to over 2.5PB in a single instance. Front-end I/O connectivity and back-end storage capacity can be scaled independently to meet your changing application needs. The system can scale out to over 23PB using a 3-site configuration. Each system delivers up to 8GB/sec throughput, with scale-out performance of up to 20GB/sec for high productivity environments. Patented dynamic data placement technology lets you grow your system without re-balancing or forklift upgrades. As a result, IT staff can easily add capacity and performance to keep up with high data growth rates and utilization.

Extreme Availability and Durability

Advanced system availability is essential for a highly resilient cloud infrastructure.When deployed in a 3-site configuration, the ActiveScale solution disperses data geographically for extreme availability, delivering continuous data access even in the event of a data center outage. You can maintain uninterrupted operations and data consistency at significantly lower costs than traditional replication-based architectures. Two-site asynchronous replication is also available for customers without three data centers. Amazon Web Services? customers also have the flexibility to deploy a hybrid cloud configuration that replicates objects from the ActiveScale P100 to Amazon S3 for backups or analytics jobs. Advanced erasure coding and patented BitSpread® technology deliver extreme data durability - up to 19 nines. In addition, BitDynamics? provides high data integrity with continuous data monitoring, repair and verification. Object versioning enhances data durability by enabling you to easily recover data from user errors or security threats. Together, these advanced technologies facilitate a highly available Data Forever architecture.
