Automated storage solutions that accelerate analysis while reducing overall costs are now available at AutonomouStuff thanks to scalable kits by Quantum.
AutonomouStuff, the leader in enabling the future of transportation, is proud to offer these custom autonomous vehicle data storage kits in response to the explosion of data collected in autonomous driving research.
"We've collaborated with our friends at Quantum to address the major problems that occur when trying to pull together massive amounts of important data for automated vehicles," said AutonomouStuff CEO Bobby Hambrick. "Together we're offering a multi-tiered storage solution, enabling a simpler workflow by providing a greater performance than alternative solutions, and at 10% of the cost!"
Quantum's intelligent data management solutions are built on StorNext®, the industry's fastest streaming file system. StorNext allows developers to work with many large files; to collaborate, share and work on the same files simultaneously; and offers a tiered approach with a tape archive to allow massive storage capabilities with automated protection, all while keeping costs under control. The data storage kits provide a scalable storage solution and are designed to grow as your needs grow. They can even be customized to leverage existing data storage environments.
"Organizations involved in research and development want to keep significantly more data for longer periods and maintain access to it," said Andrew Mortemore, Quantum's ADAS/Autonomous Vehicle & Automotive Storage Manager. "With the hyperscale in data generation these organizations are experiencing, Quantum makes it economically feasible to maintain and have access to massive amounts of data for a dramatically lower cost per TB vs. traditional IT storage strategies. We also leverage existing IT environments and reduce their overall average cost per TB. The strategy is to deploy an automated, tiered environment so these organizations get static data off their expensive storage and bring it back only when they need to access that data. With this tiered strategy, organizations are not constantly increasing their budgets to scale expensive first tier storage for data that is static most of the time."
