Case Study -
Multi-Petabyte Product Lifecycle Library
The Opportunity
The leading provider of product lifecycle management to the fashion industry has over 6 PB of storage in multiple storage systems for their on-line service users.
As the library scales and the users both grow in number and spread geographically, the firm is spending more and more time and energy scaling and managing their library which raises operating expenses and diverts attention from actually growing the business.
The growing number of users and global reach also raises security concerns.
The Twisted Storage Solution
Adding Twisted Storage to the existng servers provides a federated storage system with the required scalability, system-wide management and global indexing and search.
Twisted Storage's policy-driven workflow will automate most tasks that are now performed manually such as data consolidation, migration, and de-duplication. Any required changes can easily be implemented on-the-fly by modifying or adding Twisted Storage workflows and/or policies. All of which translates into higher reliability and lower operating expense.
The security functions available in Twisted Storage include multiple encryption algorithms, x509 certificates for managing, tracking and controlling user access, and the ability to segregate data by user, user group, etc.
