Content Storage Without Limitations

Evaluating the overall affordability of a platform goes beyond just comparing the cost per gigabyte acquisition cost; it also includes evaluating ongoing management costs, the platform’s ability to integrate with existing storage processes utilizing standard interfaces and the ongoing costs associated with power, cooling and floor space requirements.DataValet, for online and archive content, can provide much faster response with a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) than traditional disk or tape-based archives. The scale-out architecture of the BladeRack 2 X-Series of platforms and DataValet together with it’s self-servicing, just-in-time provisioning and built in compliance and regulatory features delivers the lowest cost per gigabyte available and the lowest cost of ownership for online and active archival storage.
Store
Start with a few terabytes and scale capacities to petabytes all within a single cluster. DataValet is a flexible architecture that delivers independently scalable performance and capacity. Configure DataValet so the platform can provide the right mix of capabilities without over-buying or over-provisioning, and dynamically change the cluster’s attributes as business and application needs change. A DataValet cluster delivers massive scalability for today’s fast growing unstructured data at lower price points than is offered by competing storage architectures. It’s eco-friendly providing the industry’s best power, cooling and floor space efficiency.
Manage
DataValet clusters are self-configuring, self managing and self-healing, keeping the clusters running at optimal performance. Central, browser based administration of a DataValet cluster is the same whether it is configured with three or three thousand nodes. Administrative effort is maintained as the cluster can be easily managed at any scale significantly reducing admin overhead and contributing to a low total cost of ownership.
Distribute
User and application requests are transparently distributed throughout all the nodes in a DataValet cluster. Content can be redirected across locations to improve availability and enable scalability by distributing requests across multiple or larger systems as user demands change.DataValet allows organizations to integrate and access storage and data in new ways through industry standard web services and networking protocols. In turn, complex storage interactions and data access is simplified and easily integrated into business processes, applications and corporate and public clouds.Users and applications can integrate data from anywhere via lightweight web applications or NAS gateways to automate storage and data management. When the location of data is no longer important, it’s easy to scale performance by distributing or moving data across nodes in the cluster according to demand.This location-abstraction of data eliminates disruptive data migrations and service events.
Protect
Applications can utilize lightweight web logic for self-managing data archiving. Enterprise applications can utilize DataValet’s rich metadata in order to automatically replicate, move and secure data according to its content and file characteristics via built-in compliance and regulatory features.To provide the service levels necessary for 24/7 IT operations, DataValet clusters have no single points of failure. DataValet takes advantage of the inherent redundancy of its cluster architecture using all nodes as symmetrical resources. A DataValet Cluster provides for online maintenance, upgrades, and data migration including the transparent ability to re-balance workloads as resources are added to or subtracted from a cluster. Both local and wide area replicated configurations are easily established for disaster recovery purposes.

mbest NK9315 Evaluation Board
The Cirrus Logic EP9315 is a highly integrated system-on-chip processor that paves the way for next-generation consumer and industrial electronic products. The EP9315 features an advanced 200 MHz ARM920T processor designed with a memory management unit (MMU) and is augmented by the MaverickCrunch™ coprocessor to accelerate the ARM920T's single- and double-precision integer and floating-point processing capabilities. It has separate 16KB data cache and 16KB instruction cache and includes 1/10/100 ethernet, IDE storage peripherals, keypad, a three-port USB 2.0 full-speed host (OHCI), running at 12 Mbps, and three UARTs. Additionally the EP9135 includes a 2D graphics accelerator, integrated LCD controller, touchscreen and high quality audio to enable easy to use products with vibrant multimedia capabilities. A highly flexible memory interface provides compatibility with SDRAM, SRAM, Flash, and ROM.Embest NK9315 Evaluation Board takes full features of the high-performance Cirrus Logic EP9315 microcontroller system-on-chip and full Bus and peripheral signals are expanded through interfaces on board including IDE, CAN, LCD & Touchscreen, VGA/S-Video/Composive output, Ethernet, PS/2, UART, USB Host, IIS, CF card, keyboard, Jtag, etc. There is also a PCMCIA interface on the rear of the board which supports one 16-bit PCMCIA PC Card to add memory, mass storage and I/O capabilities to computer systems and thus can be used to further broaden the options of a designer's platform. The LCD and Raster interface of EP9315 is with a graphics accelerator which is used in the system to off load graphics operations from the processor. The board supports high-lever operating systems such as Linux, Windows CE and other embedded operating systems. The board's code support package includes WINCE.net 4.2 BSP, embedded Linux source code and a download utility.Typical applications of Embest NK9315 board are POS (Point-of sale), internet audio, internet access devices, industrial computers, test and measurement equipments, digital media servers, industrial controls, biometric security systems, etc.
