LOCHRISTI, Belgium & REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Amplidata, an innovator in high-performance object storage technology, will explain the challenges and opportunities facing IT managers dealing with unstructured data in Big Data applications at next week’s GigaOm Structure Data event in New York City, on March 21 and 22.
Experts cite unstructured data as the Holy Grail for Big Data applications, because it represents an estimated 80% of total data storage growth for the coming decade – and because it is problematic to store efficiently. Yet new paradigms for data storage are already proving their ability to reinvent the traditional RAID approach with architectures that provide faster performance to end users – at far lower cost and power utilization.
On next week’s panel Amplidata’s Paul Speciale will highlight the role that object storage technology is already playing in today’s massive unstructured data instances in media and entertainment archives, storage clouds for service providers, enterprises, and within Big Data examples in datacenters. Amplidata’s AmpliStor is an optimized object storage solution that scales to multi-petabyte capacity and protects data with policy-driven durability to ten nine’s and beyond. Citing from real world use cases, Speciale will explain how object storage works, its seemingly paradoxical approach to pooling storage without typical underlying structures, how it avoids the redundancy of typical multi-copy cloud storage implementations, and why it is lowering the total cost of the storage system by 50%-70% while allowing mind-blowing scalability.
WHAT: “Structuring Decisions from Unstructured Data”
WHO: Paul Speciale, Amplidata, along with representatives from MarkLogic, Recorded Future and Alta Plana Corporation
WHEN: Wednesday, March 21, 2012 at 8:40 a.m. ET
WHERE: Pier Sixty at The Chelsea Piers, New York, NY
About Amplidata
Amplidata launched AmpliStor, an Optimized Object Storage solution for big data in 2008 after a team of storage veterans had researched and develop the BitSpread technology over several years. The technology provides the highest storage reliability and performance at the lowest possible cost. AmpliStor scales beyond petabytes and requires 50-70 percent less storage capacity to protect data compared to traditional solutions.
The Amplidata team consists of storage experts who also helped to build the success of DataCenter Technologies, Dedigate and Q-layer. The development team is responsible for patent-pending distributed storage innovations.
Amplidata is a privately funded company that has received investments from Endeavour Vision, Big Bang Ventures, Swisscom Ventures and Intel Capital. Operational headquarters are in Lochristi, Belgium. US Headquarters are in Redwood City. Sales and support are represented in a number of countries in Europe, North America and Asia.
