Big Data Storage Solutions

These days big data is a buzz word that risks becoming a cliché; what exactly is it? How much data is “big”? A few years ago a terabyte seemed an inconceivable amount, today nobody thinks twice about it. Where is the line between regular data and big data? Perhaps the important question is not “what is big data”, but rather, “can I easily manage the data that I have at a price that makes sense – both now and in the future?”

At Trams we take great pains to ensure that whether the customer is investing in 20 Terabytes or 500 Terabytes, and projected to rise into the Petabytes, we take the same careful approach and the answer to that question will be “yes”.

Too often we meet customers who have purchased a system that was sold as simple and expandable, but sadly they didn’t read the small print. These systems often come with a hidden future cost because the base system wasn’t as flexible as the customer had originally hoped.

We have therefore selected Quantum and their StorNext solution as our preferred platform of choice for big data.
