Literature

Data Sheets and Brochures

Abstract: YottaYotta’s GSX 3000 is a storage network appliance that has been designed to break down traditional storage boundaries and free storage assets from conventional limitations, whether within a data center or among multiple, geographically-dispersed sites.

YottaYotta Application Brief

Abstract: From one consolidated product platform, our suite of Global Block Services not only enable better utilization of IT assets through resource sharing; it also facilitates online data migrations, single-site and multi-site storage virtualization, and continuous data availability, while complementing existing data center applications like VMware by extending their benefits across multiple data centers.

Simplified Network-Based Online Data Migration

Abstract: The GSX 3000 provides an automated and simplified approach to data migration that supports heterogeneous host and storage environments, while ensuring applications remain on-line.

Oracle and the GSX 3000

Abstract: The GSX 3000 enables organizations to meet a wide range of multi-site data access and data availability objectives while maintaining simple and consolidated administration.

MS Exchange and the GSX 3000

Abstract: The GSX 3000 enables Fully Active business continuity services for geographically distributed Microsoft Exchange Server Clusters.

Virtual Infrastructure 3 and the GSX 3000

Abstract: The GSX 3000 enables exciting new applications for VMware Virtual Infrastructure by extending virtualized services seamlessly over thousands of miles.

White Papers

Global Block Services for the Grid

Abstract: SGI and YottaYotta have developed a new architecture for data grids that leverages globally-shared file systems, automated multi-site data locality management, and multi-site authentication and access control. This document presents results of studies comparing performance for the new architecture to that of conventional data grid architectures.

Extending the Virtual Data Center over Geography with the YottaYotta GSX 3000

Abstract: The YottaYotta GSX 3000 enables important new applications for VMware Virtual Infrastructure by extending it seamlessly over distances of thousands of miles. A GSX 3000 multi-site system presents globally consistent distributed LUNs that are Fully Active through local devices at each site. Here, we discuss how the YottaYotta GSX 3000 enables new geographically distributed applications for VMware VMotion.

Complete High Availability: PolyServe and YottaYotta Joint Technology Showcase for Oracle10g

Abstract: This paper describes a joint technology showcase introduced by PolyServe and YottaYotta to address the challenge of providing the highest possible levels of availability across a single, logical SAN spanning multiple physical locations. PolyServe’s Matrix Server for Linux and Windows enables multiple servers to share the same storage across sites. YottaYotta’s GSX 3000 NetStorage Control Node provides the underlying SAN high availability across sites. The simulated “stretch cluster” featured in the technology showcase was jointly developed by the two companies in Washington, DC and uses an Oracle10g non-RAC database as the application.

Data Localization and High Performance of Clustered File Systems Spanning Long Distances

Abstract: We discuss the challenges of enabling clustered file systems to work efficiently over distances of hundreds or even thousands of kilometers. We then review strategies developed by YottaYotta to overcome these challenges. Finally, we provide examples of how to implement these YottaYotta strategies to meet needs of modern businesses for disaster recovery and long distance collaboration.

Global Data and Storage Sharing

Abstract: Today, both Government and the Fortune 500 have a requirement to share and disseminate information across the globe in real-time. The conventional approach to "data sharing" is to copy files from one file system to another. This approach, which might better be labelled as "data duplication" or even "data multiplication" can be extremely wasteful and difficult to manage. As a result, large multi-site organizations are experiencing a significant storage management burden. Yet, even as these organizations stress WAN resources and produce a sea of replicated data, they are still surprisingly vulnerable to loss of data access.

A New Paradigm for Data Locality in Enterprise Grids. A collaborative whitepaper and demonstration by EMC Corp., McData, NPlusOne Group, Platform Computing Inc., and YottaYotta

Abstract: More and more, enterprises seek to reduce cost, manage risk, and improve service levels by consolidating compute and storage resources. At the same time, an increasing number of High Performance Computing (HPC) centers want to leverage high bandwidth networks to share 'big data' over 'big distance'. Meanwhile, as data is shared more freely, it becomes increasingly dynamic: all parties need to keep up-to-date with changes made at other sites without compromising local performance. These emerging needs have spurred EMC, McData, NPlusOne, Platform Computing, and YottaYotta to craft a new paradigm for consistent data sharing in Enterprise Grid environments. The new paradigm does not require data duplication, minimizes interruptions in workflow associated with data transfers, reduces the risk of data loss, and provides near-local performance for most workloads.
