Tech Details
The Solution
On-premises customer data storage and management infrastructure. | |
Private interconnection – Equinix Fabric, Data Center Cross Connect, Dedicated Circuit. | |
Oncore Datastream Edge managed services. Includes Virtual Tape Library and LTO target, routing, security perimeter, and storage. | |
High performance / low latency cloud interconnection or public cloud platform peering. | |
Public or private cloud destination storage (object storage – S3, Azure, GCS). |
How it works
On-premises customer data infrastructure is configured Datastream Edge as another tape library and LTO storage target. | |
Inbound data is staged on Datastream’s local cache. The cache is fully configurable and designed to store multiple LTO tape datasets. | |
Cached LTO datasets de-staged into destination storage. Destination storage may be a public cloud data store or Oncore’s Cloud Adjacent Private Storage repository. | |
Retrieved datasets are streamed from local cache. In the event the requested dataset is not cached, it is rehydrated from destination storage prior to streaming to an on-premises target. | |
On-premises data infrastructure receives the requested streamed LTO dataset. |
