S3 Compatible Storage
- End users write/read files to an end-point in our
cloud network, which sycronises with other RackCorp
storage nodes.
- The mirrored file servers provide a start point for
backups and staging to longer-term storage.
User demand for files determines whether files reside
based on data retention polices.
Popular files remain in hot storage (local fast disk),
less accessed files are pushed out to warm storage
(remote standard disk) and rarely accessed files such
as ‘last years’ data can be archived.
- Storage sites are regionally dispersed within the country
to protect against any natural disasters, acts of god or
political instability. Within each site and when all the
sites are considered together as a network, the storage
system provides multiple levels of redundancy.
Multiple copies of the data are stored at multiple sites
using multiple systems containing multiple disks. All
these components are fully redundant allowing the entirety
of the data to be accessed if particular systems or sites are down.
- While technically similar to the other geographical sites and part
of the integrated storage network, this site is typically housed
out of out of country to provide assurance against any natural
disasters, acts of god or political instability in the country
of origin. We can offer out of country disaster recovery / cold
backup sites in both hemisphere and all continents.
