3 | © 2022 NODEUM MY VISION MY VISION Transform the traditional storage ecosystem and leverage Data Management as one solution for Hybrid Storage solution. Therefore, to answer these strategic challenges, I design Nodeum. Aiming to accelerate the combinations and the relationships between machines and humans to get values out of the data to serve new business models. Eradicate time spent in searching data. Empower talented end-users to achieve more – to solve more of their data management challenges.

Big data expert Bernard Marr writes … : “ From a technological standpoint, we already have everything we need to leverage big data to quickly and effectively develop vaccines for new viruses such as Zika… Now what we need are platforms and systems to get this data into the hands of those who can develop solutions before a public health emergency develops. ”

BUT IT IS NOW DATA MANAGEMENT IS NOT ANYMORE MYTH REALITY

IT IS WHY WE BUILT NODEUM DATA MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE FOR HYBRID STORAGE Data Management Workflow Scalability Easy to access Catalog (OPEN) API No lock in

26 | © 2022 NODEUM SOME OF OUR KEY CUSTOMERS

27 | © 2022 NODEUM MPC EPISODIC & FILM NEED: Integrate a data management solution into their post-production workflows which are very complex. SOLUTION : Nodeum automate their archiving and delivery workflows. They can work on more show – movies in accelerating the archive of rushes and masters with the same team. They are able to deliver on-time content to Netflix.

28 | © 2022 NODEUM GRAZ MEDICAL UNIVERSITY NEED: The aim of the project is to continue to build up a central archive with digitalized pathological data. SOLUTION: With Nodeum Data Mover, Medical University of Graz can analyze a large scale of data generated by the high throughput scanner. They are able to determine the type of disease faster (such as carcinoma of the thyroid). Nodeum reduces the time to analyze each slide allowing for increased usage of expensive medical hardware. NODEUM, DATA MOVEMENT PLATFORM FOR RESEARCH FROM 10 minutes TO 1 minute

29 | © 2022 NODEUM UNIVERSITY OF ROSTOCK “ We consider it important, in addition to the optimized data structure within and between our heterogeneous system landscapes, to implement more security and an additional media break to protect our data as part of our data storage mechanisms. The use of the convenient and technically mature data mover NODEUM® ensures us efficiency and data security through the individual linking of our data sources, also via APIs and taking into account all role and authorization models. ” Malte Willert, University of Rostock, IT and Media Center, Department 2: Systems and services, project manager for the introduction of NODEUM®. KEEP CONTROL OF DATA AND LEVERAGING LTFS TAPE STORAGE TECHNOLOGY AND MEDIA BREAK EXPAND THE 3-2-1 RULE IN ARCHIVING

Research centers have to store the generated content in “data repositories” that are located close to each other and that are well integrated. Two different categories of data repositories are used as storage tiers: • Active Data Repositories which provide the performance when data is written by supercomputing systems • Archival Data Repositories with interfaces used in Cloud systems, which are more suitable for data sharing Research is becoming increasingly collaborative. Sharing of data and FAIR data management is becoming mandatory. This adds to the requirements for modern data infrastructures.
