Basics

  • A device used for Large Scale Storage
  • Often Abbreviated NAS

Used For

  • On site website backups
  • Media Archiving
  • Records Archiving
  • On site storage of collaborative work

Industry Standards

Existing Open Source Designs

Minimum Viable Product

  • As cheap and power efficient as possible, while still retaining high power and speed (ie a nice balance if you were to make a graph with the two as the x and y axis)
  • Scalable to many formats/standards form sub GB ethernet all the way to 300 Gbit/s infiniband
  • Low Latency
  • Scalable from low users, to airport/concert level of users
  • Optional Built in VPN, and Tor + any other encryption capabilities
  • Made in partnership with OCI and the Free Network Foundation
