Last week, we introduced Quantum Myriad , an all-flash file and object storage platform based on a modern, cloud-native software architecture that avoids the limitations of legacy NAS storage systems. Leveraging advances in application frameworks and design that were not available even a few years ago, Myriad’s modern cloud-native architecture makes it an easy-to-use solution that overcomes the limitations of hardware-centric designs and enables customers to adapt to future storage needs while reducing the burden on over-extended IT staff. It brings new levels of simplicity and adaptability to high-performance workloads without the constraints of specialized hardware.
Myriad expands Quantum’s portfolio of solutions for unstructured data and is ideally suited for emerging high-growth use cases that require more performance and more scale, including AI and machine learning, modern data lakes, VFX and animation, and other high-bandwidth and high IOPs applications. These use cases are driving growth in the market for dedicated scale-out file and object storage, expected to grow at a 12% CAGR from 2020-2026 and be a $19.1 billion market by 2026 according to the IDC File and Object Storage Market Update and Forecast.
Key highlights include:
- Scale-out software architecture delivers consistent, low-latency performance for high-bandwidth and high-IOPs applications.
- A cloud-native microservices architecture orchestrated by Kubernetes provides a resilient, “always on” architecture, and delivers new features and fixes rapidly with less risk.
- Automated storage management allows a cluster to be scaled or modified without user intervention and the need for advanced IT skills.
- Self-healing, self-balancing software automatically rebuilds data in the background while also rebalancing data as storage clusters expand, shrink, and change.
- Inline data deduplication and compression reduce the cost of flash storage and improve data efficiencies relative to legacy storage platforms.
- Simplified data protection and recovery through built-in snapshots, clones, snapshot recovery tools, and rollback capabilities.
