2. Big Data, Big Challenges
More valuable data generated = more to manage indefinitely
 VALUE of Big Data
– Power to analyze.
– Option to monetize or repurpose
 VOLUME of Big Data
– ‘Free’ data collection
– Increasing data granularity
– Content being stored forever
 MASSIVE Data Repositories
– Expensive to build, manage long-term
– Siloed, offline and unretrievable

3. Disk Archives Don’t Scale Well
A new technology is required for large-scale disk archives
 Scale To Petabytes and Beyond
– Single-site and/or multi-geo
 Protect from Data Loss Affordably
– High-density disks are vulnerable to bit errors
– Hardware RAID inefficient on TB+ drives
– Storing multiple full copies of data $$$$
 Reduce Operational Costs
– Administrative/operational costs going up
– Need for self-managing, self-healing
– Need to reduce power and cooling
 Durable for Decades
– Easy migration to new disk technologies

4. What is Wide Area Storage?
A new disk archive with advanced architectures & algorithms
 Next Generation Object Storage
 Flat namespace scales indefinitely
 Both HTTP REST + file system access
 Fountain Coding Algorithm
 A type of Forward Error Correction (FEC)
 Mature technology used in communications
(e.g. space missions, cell phones)
 Designed with failure in mind – assumes
components WILL fail
 Multiple copies of encoded data distributed
across object storage nodes

5. Wide Area Storage: The Forever Disk Archive
Lower
Scales Self-healing &
operating &
indefinitely self-migrating
capital costs
Scales from 500 TB to 100s of Off-the-shelf drives for lower Self-healing: Fifteen 9’s of
PBs via global object initial cost, less power & durability ensure data is never
namespace cooling required lost (better than RAID)
High speed file access (GB/sec) Lower maintenance costs due Self- migrating: Innovative
Data easily spread across to higher redundancy algorithms simplify upgrades
multiple geographically TCO reductions of 50-70% to new storage technologies
dispersed sites

6. Disk-Based Archives – Where they Fit
More demand for predictable restore times of disk archives.
But with reliability and scalability at a low price

11. Lattus Wide Area Storage: The Forever Disk Archive
Scalable, durable & cost-effective disk archives for Big Data
 Scales indefinitely
– Scales from 500 TB to 100s of petabytes
– Data easily dispersed across multiple sites
 Self-healing & self-migrating
– Fifteen 9’s of durability so data is never lost
– Redistribution algorithms simplify upgrades
to new storage technologies
 Lower capital & operating costs
– Lower maintenance due to high durability
– Less power & cooling required
