Transcript

1. S3 Cloud storage for companies
2. ★ We provide hot S3 compatible cloud storage ★ At 6 EUR / TB / month our price is one of the best on the market ★ No extra fees nor limitations Storadera
3. History 2016 Idea phase Storadera incorporated 2019 2021 Go to live in EE 2023 Open NL data center 2024 (end) Variable Block Size Technology
4. ★ Super obsessed with optimizations ★ Use software instead of hardware ★ Be frugal and pass it on to customers The passion Tommi Kannisto CEO and Founder Engineer by heart
5. ★ Because we wanted to achieve our targets without compromise: ◦ Price, performance, security ◦ Flexibility to use big JBODS ◦ Power efficiency ★ We use Go programming language ★ 100k LoC (lines of code) We built our own storage software
6. Accepting small files requires SSD? Small files Client software sends small files 100KB - 500KB HDD can’t handle IO operation per every file limits throughput Packing data to blocks increases latency uncontrollably Add SSD Often the solution is to add either SSD write cache or convert whole storage to SSD Lower protection If service is more expensive then less data is saved. For example, backup frequency or retention period is lowered. TB Price increases SSD is more expensive, so the service becomes more expensive or less profitable and sustainable.
7. We have Variable Block Size Technology! ★ Software allows HDDs to do the work of SSD ★ Small blocks on low load moments ★ Big blocks on high load moments ★ Result: steady streams of data that are easy to write fast to HDD and have latency guarantees to customers SSD performance on HDD
8. With hyperconverged setup we save cost by avoiding specialized servers for different tasks ★ Every server is connected to the internet ★ Every server is connected to a JBOD ★ All software services run on all servers Physical setup is hyperconverged
9. Layout
10. ★ AI for storage ◦ In roadmap to improve speed for reading and deleting ★ Storage for AI ◦ Our storage architecture is perfectly set up for AI workloads AI
11. Security Data in transit protected by HTTPS HTTPS S3 authentication V4 S3 V4 Data in rest encrypted by AES-XTS AES-XTS Erasure Coding (EC) to protect data integrity EC Key ID and Secret Key Keys Data integrity re-checked every 60 days (bit-rot and other silent failures) Data integrity
12. From a customer perspective: ★ Simple interface, no need for external training ★ This price point allows building profitable services ★ EU based Why Storadera
