Market challenges

_

1

Data volumes in companies are increasing every year, and taking into account the development of technologies, the requirements for the speed of processing and storing this data are increasing. At the same time, most companies continue to use solutions designed more than 20 years ago.

2

The expansion of NAS storages and the addition of new drives do not solve problems with performance and efficient capacity management. At the same time, the infrastructure is becoming more complex, risks and personnel requirements are increasing.

3

Most of the file and object storage systems are not able to fully utilize the potential of NVMe flash memory and cannot provide the stable low latency and high IOPS performance required for modern applications. The implementation of a hybrid cloud infrastructure is extremely difficult.

Overcoming the limitations of legacy architectures
with Quantum Myriad

Quantum Myriad is a software-defined solution for fully flash-based scalable file and object storage that solves the above problems using a cloud-based architecture designed for the latest flash technologies and providing stable low latency at any data scale.

Quantum Myriad includes embedded data processing services such as deduplication and compression, snapshots and clones, as well as metadata to accelerate AI/ML data processing. In addition, it uses familiar and proven cloud technologies such as microservices and Kubernetes® to ensure simplicity under all deployment conditions.

Quantum Myriad cluster

A Myriad cluster can start with just three NVMe flash storage nodes, and its architecture allows it to scale to hundreds of nodes in a single distributed, scalable cluster.

Despite being a software solution, Myriad requires a hardware platform to function.
Our company provides:

Quantum Myriad as a turnkey hardware and software solution
Equipment for deploying the core nodes of the Quantum Myriad cluster
Quantum Myriad as a standalone software solution

moreover, Quantum Myriad does not require specific hardware with a "strict" dependency on a particular vendor for full functionality. It is sufficient to ensure that the hardware meets the minimum technical requirements for each cluster node. For this purpose, the devices already in use by your company may be perfectly suitable.

Software Architecture

Client Connections

NFS v4, NFS v3, SMB, S3, Proprietary,
GPU-Direct
Data Services

Snapshots, Clones, Deduplication and Compression, Replication, Data Cataloging and Analysis
File System

Fully distributed, Composable (one file system per user, per application, etc.)
Transactional Key/Value Store

Write Redirection, Lock-free, Auto-balancing, Auto-recovery, Dynamic n+m Erasure Coding

Quantum Myriad is ideally suited for the rapid recovery of critical information, handling demanding workloads, and creating modern data lakes for analytics.

Client Connections

Myriad supports connections via NFS v4, NFS v3, SMB, and upcoming updates will provide support for S3 and other interfaces. Clients connect through a single IP address, regardless of how large the cluster grows. Myriad automatically balances client connection loads across multiple 100GbE ports using ECMP. BGP routing utilizes unnumbered interfaces to minimize network configuration efforts during initial deployment and scaling.
Data Services

Myriad provides built-in automatic data deduplication and compression for small blocks. Versioning is supported through snapshots and clones, without impacting the operation of the file service.
File System

Myriad is designed to leverage the full benefits of NVMe flash storage and RDMA. The distributed Myriad file system stores both file and object data, attributes, and embedded metadata in a key-value backend storage. Data and metadata are distributed across all nodes to ensure maximum resilience.
Transactional Key/Value Store

Myriad provides "Lock-free" scaling even in the largest systems and responds quickly to changes in the availability of storage nodes. The write redirection feature ensures that new data is always written to free space rather than overwriting existing data. This naturally supports versioning, snapshots, and rollbacks, providing protection against data loss due to accidental deletions and ransomware attacks.
Dynamic Erasure Coding

Stored data is protected using dynamic n+m erasure coding. As the cluster grows or shrinks, or when drives or nodes fail and are replaced, the cluster dynamically adjusts for maximum efficiency and protection, all without administrator intervention.
Maximally Simplified Upgrade

Storage expansion involves simply installing and connecting new storage nodes. There is no need to submit requests to network administrators or even open an interface. Myriad automatically detects new nodes and deploys them in the cluster for immediate use.

Three key reasons to choose Quantum Myriad:

Achieving maximum performance in data processing, and consequently, faster access to the necessary business results and decision-making.

01
Ensuring maximum reliability and data security, while providing ease of management, scalability flexibility, and the ability to leverage all industry-leading technologies.

02
Reduction of operational costs for administration, maintenance, energy consumption, and cooling, while eliminating the need for staff expansion and training.
