Three New Reasons to Use PowerScale OneFS to Tackle Unstructured Data

It’s estimated that unstructured data (file or object) often accounts for nearly 80% of the data footprint of an organization. That amount of data is expected to grow year-over-year and is increasingly spread out across core data centers and clouds, causing significant complexity for customers. Think about it – more businesses are looking at hybrid and multi-cloud options that provide simplified management and automation capabilities. Organizations are looking for solutions that provide the performance needed to harness their data to accelerate outcomes. Nowadays, data is also automated. In addition, we’ve certainly seen an increase in the need for flexible tools that support user sharing / collaboration no matter wherever the data lives.

Today’s release of PowerScale OneFS 9.1, the power behind our PowerScale storage systems, offers several new features that further build on these capabilities, including:

  1. Simplified management – increased cluster uptime, which is enabled by faster detection and resolution of node or resource unavailability
  2. Faster performance – optimized to deliver faster throughput and lower latency for seamlessly recalling tiered data from the cloud
  3. Increased flexibility – allows multiple PBs of storage to be managed by a single admin and flexibility in configurable encryption settings of SyncIQ replicated traffic provides fine-grained control to admins
