Shutterfly & ICOS – Unlimited Storage, Forever
Design Criteria:
24x7 Operation – No downtime during software upgrades, hardware refreshes,
and in the face of disk, node, and site failures.
Security - Default encryption, no single disk, node or site contains enough
information to constitute a data breach. Zero-touch management.
Scalability – Scale performance and/or capacity at any time with no downtime
to operations
Efficiency – Less raw storage means less power, cooling and floors pace resulting
in low TCO
Manageability– No RAID sets or replication schemes to manage. Manage
upwards of 25PBs with a single Full Time Employee.
