    OVERVIEW

    The modern storage foundation for analytics and AI.

    Modernize beyond HDFS: Scale to billions of objects and support 5x denser storage nodes to dramatically lower your TCO.

    Unify all workloads: Run S3-native AI and cloud applications alongside your existing Spark and Hive analytic jobs on one platform.

    Improve resilience and efficiency: Cut storage overhead by 50% with erasure coding and ensure high availability with a modern architecture.

    Key features

    Breaks the 400-million-file limit of Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). Natively scales to 10-billion objects and beyond, solving the "small files problem" for good.

    Provides a native S3 API for modern AI/ML workloads (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and a Hadoop-compatible file system for existing analytics (Spark, Hive).

    Move from 100TB HDFS nodes to 500TB+ nodes. This 5x density drastically reduces your data center footprint, power, and cooling costs.

    Replace 3x data replication with efficient erasure coding (e.g., RS 6+3), cutting your storage overhead by 50% or more while maintaining data durability. 

     

    Features an Active-Active architecture for metadata, eliminating the HDFS NameNode bottleneck and enabling much faster cluster restarts and recovery.

    Create instantaneous, bucket-level snapshots for point-in-time backup, disaster recovery, and compliance with no performance impact.
