Dispersive™ Software Defined Storage

Using a standards-based IP connection, off-the-shelf data storage devices that leverage network block devices, and Dispersive™ software, you can achieve better reliability, improved performance and tighter security for at-rest data.

Overview

Dispersive™ Software Defined Storage (Dispersive™ SDS) is a software-defined storage platform that:

1. Divides data into blocks as small as 1 kilobyte
2. Sends each block to a different device selected from a virtualized pool of storage devices in different geographical locations
3. Shuffles the locations of these blocks dynamically based on:
   • Access frequency
   • Bandwidth availability
   • I/O performance
   • Time stored on a device
   • Other factors important to the customer
4. Reassembles the data at the client when queried or recalled

Benefits

By dividing data blocks across multiple storage locations, we conquer traditional problems with securing data-at-rest. Our software-defined storage solution provides:

Tighter security. Data blocks shuffle across multiple drives and, when necessary, across different geographical locations. Consequently, the technology thwarts hackers more effectively than mere encryption. Capturing usable information becomes a costly, time-consuming guessing game for a hacker, with little chance of success. Discouraged, the hacker moves to easier targets.

Higher speeds. Our storage solution monitors network performance for bandwidth availability, I/O performance and myriad other factors. It then shuffles data blocks to locations where access is optimized. This dramatically speeds access to information and allows interactive access to big data without having to upgrade or alter routers.

Greater reliability. Our solution deploys data across multiple physical devices
and geographically dispersed locations.
This built-in resiliency leads to greater reliability.

More flexibility. Dispersive™ software moves stored data automatically to underutilized areas of the network, preventing overburdening any one resource at any time. And since any pooled storage device can be employed, e.g., flash drives, flash memory, hard disk drives, etc., you can implement a multi-vendor, heterogeneous data storage strategy.

Reduced costs. Customers typically slash data storage costs up to 25% by reducing or eliminating the need for data duplication and the requirement to over-provision fast drives.
