DataCore Swarm
Software-Defined Object Storage Solution for Core, Edge, and Hybrid Cloud EnvironmentsEnsure rapidly scaling datasets are continuously protected and instantly accessible while eliminating tedious storage management, reducing TCO, and enabling distributed workloads.
Are you struggling with protecting and providing access to rapidly scaling data sets or enabling distributed content-based use cases? Using tape is cost-effective but data is not instantly accessible; and tape is difficult to manage. The public cloud often presents the challenge of compounding, unpredictable recurring costs, and the inability to meet local performance and privacy requirements.DataCore Swarm provides an on-premises object storage solution that radically simplifies the ability to manage, store, and protect data while allowing S3/HTTP access to any application, device, or end-user. Swarm transforms your data archive into a flexible and immediately accessible content library that enables remote workflows, on-demand access, and massive storage scalability.
- Provides a scalable platform that can continually evolve by pooling any mix of x86 servers, HDDs and SSDs with 95% data storage capacity
- Automates storage and infrastructure management so a single system/IT administrator can manage dozens to hundreds of PBs
- Includes a web-based UI and API simplifying the management of hundreds of nodes, billions of files, thousands of tenants, and PBs of data
- A scale-out parallel architecture enables all nodes to perform all functions resulting in the ability to scale performance linearly
Use Cases
Here are some popular use cases of Swarm catering to different industry requirements. There are numerous other applications of Swarm in organizations and service provider environments.
