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
