Organizations often run out of storage space on their NAS devices and files servers. Statistically, over 80% of that data is old and not frequently accessed, yet they occupy much space on your high value equipment.

DataCore Swarm object storage provides a cost-effective and readily accessible Active Archive to complement your NAS/filer infrastructure. Offload the bulk of your data to lower-cost S3 storage, where it can be preserved and protected with highest levels of protection and durability while being directly accessible.

  • Gain on-demand access via S3/HTTP, NFS, SMB
  • Leverage metadata-aware search capabilities
  • Reduce costs by freeing up space on premium storage
  • Easily manage billions of files and thousands of tenants across sites
  • Scale quickly and granularly on any mix of hardware

Many customers that start with a few hundred TBs or PBs find that they can effortlessly scale severalfold with no added administrative effort thanks to Swarm’s automated data services (e.g., load balancing).

Swarm is your perfect alternative to overcome the cost and security concerns of the public cloud, and data search and retrieval difficulties with LTO tape.

We chose Swarm because it was the most flexible platform for us and had good per-terabyte licensing. We started with 100 TBs and now have over 1.25 PBs across 200 nodes from different hardware vendors. Swarm is a key component to deliver that high-end quality service that NEP has always aimed for.

We could just plug a new node in and it would boot itself up automatically. There was no prep work. We had no OS installs. We could migrate disk groups between nodes and Swarm would decide if the disk was part of the node or not and move it around to the correct node.

Scalability is one of the slickest things about Swarm, one sweet thing they did with the platform is, when you drop a new node in, it builds itself from the ground up. The new node announces itself to the main controller. If you want to add a 72 terabyte or petabyte node you just drop it in.
