EMC enhances Atmos cloud storage System Data protection efficiency

The latest Geoprotect feature provides Atmos with a RAID-like data protection feature that supports 3 or 6 failures (33% and 66% of storage overhead, respectively) by encoding and distributing targets between atmos clouds.

Atmos also employs the latest Xeon 5500 processor, which improves performance by 50% and doubles capacity to 2TB. The Atmos node can increase the capacity from 60TB to 720TB by increasing the drive.

Jonmartin, director of product management and marketing at EMC Cloud Infrastructure group, says Atmos is not as clustered NAS storage products As recently emerged in the market, but it is closer to Amazon's S3 service, but has a different product format: A large scalable storage network that can cover multiple sites across the globe.

Atmos is the basis for cloud storage products such as At&t Synaptic Storage asaservice. Martin said Atmos has been shipping more than 15PB of capacity so far.

Williammoore, chief executive of Health and Welfare management company Carecorenational, is one of the users of the product. Moore said the company's previously "imperfect" SAN storage systems and a NAS gateway were unable to meet the many data retention and protection requirements facing the healthcare industry.

So they decided to use EMC's Atmos to create 4 nodes in two sites in New York and South Carolina State so they could "save the data at the right time".

Carecore has been working closely with Atmos developers to migrate their historical data to Atmos. "It's nice to work with them and they know very well what we really need," says Moore. ”

Moore added that he was also bullish on EMC's other private cloud strategies, such as Symmetrixv-max and the Vblock alliance with Cisco VMware. "We are very much in tune with each other's development process," he said. ”
