AGILESTORAGE: Re-Engineering Data Storage

Built on the foundation of hardware as a resource supplier, AGILESTORAGE’s platform makes it possible for the data storage infrastructure to be accurately sliced in terms of performance, capacity, latency, and additional clients’ requirements without resource wastage. As Zihlmann describes it, “The ability of our platform to scale seamlessly, be it in terms of IOPS and throughput performance, and capacity from a low-level system up to multi-terabyte enterprise deployments, without latency or interruptions gives us the competitive edge.”

That being said, AGILESTORAGE diligently tailors its storage platform to a spectrum of clients’ storage and network infrastructure needs and improves their business integrity. The robustness of the company’s solution was on full display when the University of Bern approached AGILESTORAGE to enhance their microscopic imaging of tissue samples. The university’s microscopes produced 2000 images per minute at a resolution of 2048x2048 and needed a 40x zooming feature to study the tissues closely in each of the images. However, each microscope required large data streams to facilitate a 40x zooming capability. In response to this requirement, AGILESTORAGE constructed an environment where the data streams from the camera of a microscope were automatically stored within high-performance SSD, and then copied to another source. This was achieved with a relatively small configuration of 750-850 Mbps, and the university was able to scale up to 40-50 microscopes simultaneously with its existing data storage infrastructure. “We fit our solution into the clients’ ecosystems, thus eliminating the need to modify their existing infrastructures or alter their operations,” adds Zihlmann.

With similar stories highlighting its competency, AGILESTORAGE is all set to launch new functionalities and the latest release of its WASP operating system to help users harness the full potential of this containerized storage platform. The company has developed a centralized management interface that accommodates multiple physical deployments of the platform across the globe, all on a single pane. This interactive management framework bolstered by a delegated administration concept offers service providers and enterprises and their subsidiaries a holistic worldwide view of distributed storage deployments. In a nutshell, AGILESTORAGE is revolutionizing storage infrastructures with effortless management of workloads through the cloud with cutting-edge data protection.
