The MatrixStore compliments your SAN. It
is the perfect Pre-Production or Nearline platform to protect your work in progress or finished articles.
Commodity Scales
If you need to protect 10s to 100s of terabytes of data then cost
is important. Never mind that MatrixStore software
reduces adminsitration costs dramatically over tape based solutions (
Disk/Tape TCO data)
but couple that with the fact that scaling a nearline or deep archive to protect hundreds of teraybytes of data can only be
economically feasible using non-proprietary commodity hardware then 'The MatrixStore' is well placed to be the safe location for data in your workflow.
Node Pricing Model
'The MatrixStore' is a clustered disk-based archive consisting of three or more
MatrixStore nodes. A node consists of off the shelf, industry standard, hardware components pre-loaded with MatrixStore software.
The following figures show the pricing and raw capacity (before RAID or mirroring of content) of the individual nodes. See below for more information regarding minimum cluster sizes and capacities.
