DataCore Swarm: object(ive) stored favorably

Software-defined object memory with excellent options

Secure protection and instant retrieval of your data without complex storage management

Software-defined object memory with excellent options

In addition to SDS convenience via classic block storage with SANsymphony and file storage with vFilo, DataCore also offers a platform designed for object storage called Swarm. The intelligent software creates space so that your cold data doesn’t overload the fast storage systems, saving you a lot of money.

  • Scalable platform on any x86 hardware
  • Automated storage and infrastructure management down to the PB level
  • Web-based user interface and API for managing billions of files
  • Extensible architecture with support for Amazon S3 API and other third-party APIs
  • Effective algorithms eliminate the need for backups of Swarm data

Protection for important content

Under Swarm, you can redundantly back up your data using replication or erasure coding , depending on your protection needs. This can be achieved at one or at several locations. In doing so, the private cloud solution focuses on speedy data recovery so you can access your files without interruption.

Of course, this data is also protected by AES-256 encryption. Even compliance features such as WORM, Integrity Seals and Legal Hold are already integrated in Swarm.

Software-Laptop

Simple and flexible scaling

For Swarm installation it is sufficient to hang the server via PXE boot(Preboot Execution Environment) in the network. The software brings the operating system and all necessary services directly. It also runs resource-efficiently in RAM and keeps the majority of all available HDD and SSD capacities free for the data to be stored.

Swarm works on any standard hardware or disk size and is also equipped for high availability. The software supports both hot-plug drives and adding and removing disks or even entire servers from the network.

For example, if a server is to be replaced, it is sufficient to declare it as“Retire“. Swarm gradually moves the data from the machine being retired to other systems in the cluster automatically. This allows the administrator to replace an aging server in a timely manner.

In addition, Swarm enables an uninterrupted rolling upgrade of the complete software stack. Thanks to flexible operation, you can even add mandates and locations at any time.

Storage, clients and content easily managed

Through the native HTTP 1.1-based interface, Swarm provides access to the Amazon S3 API. This gives you a foundation for new storage services. The intuitive content portal allows you to access your files from anywhere via S3/HTTP. So you can share, stream and edit documents at will.

Swarm supports data access via NFS through the included SwarmFS interface. Or use Swarm as secondary storage to offload data to Swarm via SMB from Windows Server, NetApp, or Dell EMC Isilon using DataCore FileFly.
