CloudOne Storage

Store Data Copies in Multiple Datacenters

You can have your data replicated in multiple datacenters that are part of our FastFiber Network.

Automatically Load Balanced

CloudOne Storage alleviates workload hotspots and bottlenecks by performing automatic load balancing.

Shared URLs

Designate specific addresses for objects intended for public access. Embed these URLs in your websites to offload the objects to the cloud and improve the performance of your web server. Handle more traffic without provisioning more servers.

Customer Tools

Within our customer portal, you can create additional users, reset passwords, change the default storage policy for data and deploy a sophisticated storage diagnostic tool.

EMC Atmos

CloudOne Storage incorporates the strength of EMC Atmos. Atmos combines massive scalability with automated data placement to help you efficiently deliver content and information services anywhere in the world.

EMC Atmos GeoProtect

GeoProtect delivers advanced protection techniques designed specifically for distributed cloud environments. GeoProtect provides two content protection methods—both of which are driven by policies that you define.

Replication

Here, you define how many copies of an object (a large, high-access video for instance) you want created, and in which physical server locations you want them written.

Erasure-Coding

With erasure coding, the object is broken up into segments and written across your CloudOne Storage infrastructure. You define the number of these segments that can be lost or destroyed without impacting your ability to recreate the object.

SLAs

Our 100% Uptime Service Level Agreement guarantees you'll have uninterrupted access to all your cloud-stored objects.

The CloudOne Storage Ecosystem

Finding applications that are CloudOne-certified is easy. Our growing CloudOne Storage ecosystem can point you to a broad range of application developers and applications that have been certified to run on the CloudOne Storage infrastructure. Here are a few examples of CloudOne / EMC-certified storage applications:

• AtmosFox
• Gladinet
• TwinStrata
• InfraSage
• Portlock
• EMC Atmos
• EMC Developer Network

Maximum Flexibility

EMC Atmos

EMC Atmos combines massive scalability with automated data placement to help you efficiently deliver content and information services anywhere in the world.

Elasticity

There is no limit on the amount of data—files, media objects, images—you can store. No provisioning or configuration required.

Utility Billing

You are billed by the amount of storage used, and only while you're using it. Just like you do with the electric company, you can turn it on and off as needed.

Multi-Site Storage

Multi-site storage options strengthen your disaster recovery initiatives. Have your data replicated at any of our CloudOne Storage-equipped datacenters.

Free FastFiber Network Bandwidth

Data transfer on the FastFiber Network is included for free—with its highest available bandwidth guaranteed. Bandwidth outside the FastFiber Network is priced at pennies per gigabyte.

Best Performance

Our FastFiber Network

Our fast fiber network ensures the optimal performance of your Cloud Storage infrastructure. Because we own and operate every part of it, you are certain your storage infrastructure always operates at peak performance.

Automatically Load Balanced

Cloud Storage alleviates workload hotspots and bottlenecks by performing automatic load balancing.

Strongest Security

EMC Atmos GeoProtect

GeoProtect delivers advanced protection techniques designed specifically for distributed cloud environments. Select either replication or erasure-coding as your protection method.

Object Level Policies

Set specific storage and access policies for each object. Policies can include:

1. Where to store information (localization).
2. How many copies of your data to store (replication).
3. What protection techniques to use (GeoProtect).

Availability

Replication and erasure-coding methodologies ensure your content is always secure and always available.

Shared URLs

Designate specific addresses for objects intended for public access. Embed these URLs in your websites to offload the objects to the cloud and improve the performance of your web server. Handle more traffic without provisioning more servers.

How It Works

What is Erasure Coding?

Erasure coding takes a large block of data—a video for instance—and breaks it into a specific number of same-sized segments. To those segments are added additional segments. While these created segments are the same size as the originals, they are not replications of the data. Rather, they contain calculated parity information. These segments are then distributed across the ServerBeach datacenters. Here's an example:

1. A video file is broken into four equal segments.

2. Two additional segments containing parity data are created.

3. Those six segments are then distributed across your ServerBeach infrastructure

4. Linear equations are then created that direct how the video will be recreated should, in this case, up to two of the six nodes fail.

Thinking about a failure in the Toronto location only, the equation would direct how to recreate the contents of S1, using the data and parity information from the remaining nodes.

S1=2(P1)+P2-S3+4(S4)

Once this equation is solved, the contents of S1 can be rebuilt, and the integrity of the video maintained. The level of erasure coding protection is determined by the number of segments into which the file is broken, and the number of parity segments created. The larger the number, the more individual segment failures that can be tolerated.

What is Multi Site Storage?

Your object data is stored in several different locations giving you the redundancy that you need in the event of data failure or unavailability.

What is Object Storage?

Instead of using a complex, difficult to manage and antiquated file system, object storage systems leverage a single flat address space that enables the automatic routing of data to the right storage system.
