Datosphere is based on a dynamic next generation architecture. The core platform architecture is what matters most. It leverages or limits the feature set and is the clear differentiator between solutions. Architectures that are old, outsource core functionality or do not fully optimize their feature sets are limit the functionality, performance and scalability of the solution.
The Product Architecture Matters
While features from vendor to vendor often blur together, it is the underlying architecture of the solution that is most critical. The architecture ensures core functionality is available in all scenarios without compromise or caveats. Datosphere’s architecture does not limit configuration or deployment options nor outsource core functionality and create unnecessary dependencies on third party systems.
Dynamic Grid Architecture scales performance and eliminates single points of failure
Datosphere’s dynamic grid based architecture is a highly available, self-contained and redundant multi-node ready architecture with no single point of failure. The architecture allows it to virtually overlay the existing network infrastructure rather than trying to impose a specific way in which the solution should work with a long list of dependencies. Datosphere nodes are self contained with all required services running. They interact with each other and resources directly thus providing the ability to share and load balance services across the entire environment.

Say Goodbye to Complexity
Datosphere was designed from the ground up to address the problems that organizations have traditionally faced with overly complex, hard to install and cumbersome to manage archiving and discovery products. Its delivery and installation model simplifies the task of evaluating, deploying and managing a content archiving solution. It does not have the external 3rd party dependencies and numbers of systems to manage and maintain of other products. Datosphere doesn’t require changes to your current infrastructure, no long lists of components to download and no need for new skill sets. Spending weeks and months to install and configure a solution is no longer viable. Datosphere is built to be up and running in hours not days or weeks.
Easy to deploy & manage Software Appliance model
Datosphere is delivered as a fully self-contained software appliance system with a modular, agent based architecture. It is a hardened, self-contained system that can be installed on a standard Intel or AMD server or on a virtual server.
Support for virtualization
Datosphere can be implemented in a virtual environment without any specific changes or special configurations. The ability to combine physical servers and virtual machines allows even the smallest of companies the ability to implement redundancy.
Open Storage Layer works with what you already have
Datosphere’s open storage layer provides organizations with a wide range of flexible storage options allowing it to work with standard storage devices, protocols and scenarios that best fit the needs of the organization. Datosphere not only allows organizations to utilize excess storage capacity but allows them to federate disparate storage devices and have Datosphere manage them as if they were one virtual storage pool. The Datosphere grid provides the infrastructure for reliability, redundancy, and security. Additionally, as Datosphere provides native encryption of the archive stores, this no longer needs to be a requirement of the storage device.
Storage support
- DAS, SAN, NAS, CAS, iSCSI, NFS and CIFS
- Utilize and pool excess storage capacity
- Cloud Storage (Supports Rackspace Cloud Files, Nirvanix, Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure Cloud Storage offerings)
Support for storage scenarios
- Federated
- Redundant
- Disaster Recovery
Cloud Storage Options
Datosphere is the first on-premise content archiving solution to fully support the seamless delivery of archived content directly to Cloud Storage. It provides unparalleled flexibility, easy to implement redundancy, business continuity options and most importantly, peace of mind. Organizations can easily add Cloud storage in a matter of minutes as a key component to their Datosphere archive federated, redundant or disaster recovery storage topology requiring no new software, hardware or licenses without impacting user productivity.
Integrated redundancies provide peace of mind
Redundancy no longer needs to be a nice to have option nor does it require third party clustering applications. Datosphere’s highly available, self-contained and redundant multi-node ready architecture provides can be configured quickly and easily in all multi-node environments. The nodes interact with each other and resources directly thus providing the ability to share and load balance services across the entire Datosphere environment. Datosphere’s highly available, self-contained and redundant multi-node ready architecture provides inherent advantages over traditional architectures. In a failure or recovery scenario, Datosphere is self-reorganizing without manual intervention.
Datosphere can evolve with your organization
Datosphere is an integrated content archiving solution built for the ESI challenges of today and tomorrow. Needs and requirements will evolve, new data formats will be created, new regulations will be mandated and options like redundancy, business continuity and disaster recovery may become necessities. The strength of a Datosphere’s architecture can help an organization to keep pace.
