A University Example

Drivers for University Storage Requirements • Government funded research - large scale HPC • Minimum 7 year retention after grant ends that they must self fund • Medical research • Long term patient storage, confidentiality/HIPAA • Hospitals associated with university - patient records and research • University sports • M&E like with special venue needs • Cross-college data management • Backup, research, shared data, internal projects • Long term university archive • Desire for centralization

A Set of Workflows for Universities • The Traditional approach… • Every Department buys their own storage • When it fills, they blindly buy more (or try to throw undergrads at the problem) • Some departments invest in archive (traditionally HPC) • Some department buy USB or consumer grade boxes that get “lost” • Some try to use the cloud (and either get big bills, delayed bills, or inadequate access when used improperly) • Everyone absolutely has to have their own unique backup solution • IT attempts to centralize but • User experiences are difficult to change • Data management is painful • Everyone wants to game the system - and some don’t want to comply • Everyone wants only file systems Engineering Comp Sci Physics Business IT Hey!! Come use our stuff

Korean Institute for Basic Science Spectra Digital Archive Solution The IBS is Korea’s first dedicated basic science research institute that specializes in long-term projects with large numbers of researchers. IBS Challenges: • New cryo-EM microscope is creating 2TB per day of data. • Needed high-capacity system to store and expand as needed. Solution: • StorCycle scans and moves data from their Lustre file system, writing new data daily to BlackPearl Nearline Gateway, which in turn writes two copies to a Spectra T950 tape library.

IQVIA Spectra Digital Archive Solution IQVIA chose Spectra Digital Archive to replace their aging archive system with a solution that is scalable while improving data availability with replication data across data centers. Challenges: • Their existing archive solution was aging, and needed a new solution that would scale while using their existing infrastructure. • The new solution must be able to replicate data across sites to provide data, and transition to the new archive with minimal disruption. Solution: • Deployed three instances of StorCycle to scan primary storage and move data to two BlackPearl Nearline Gateways and two Spectra Stack Libraries located in New Jersey and Ireland. IQVIA enables modern data science advancements by capturing and preserving global healthcare data sets.

Independent system operation that manages the flow of electric power to millions of customers Challenge: • They were going through a data center refresh and needed a new data storage solution would easily integrate with other infrastructure within two separate site. • Data volumes were growing, and they were looking for a cost-effective way to scale storage and backup infrastructure. • The new solution must accommodate compliance requirements, and backup data needs to be stored offsite. .Solution: • Within each of the two sites, a modern backup appliance archives data to Spectra BlackPearl S3 and On-Prem Glacier configured with Spectra Stack tape library. The backup appliances replicate across sites, the BlackPearl S3 in each site writes a copy of the backup data to tape, which is ejected for long-term retention. On-Prem Glacier for the Energy Industry Case Study The independent grid system operator manages the flow of electric power to tens of millions of customers in its area, scheduling power on an electric grid that represents the majority of the state’s electric load.

Oral care Leader delivering dental services through a telehealth platform Challenge: • The oral care provider chose the public cloud for their offsite storage target of backups. The cloud spend became cost prohibitive and they needed a hybrid solution that would allow them to restore the cloud data to on-prem cloud storage. • They have two locations and needed to standardize their backup infrastructure across both locations .Solution: • In the US, Spectra StorCycle was used to migrate the data from the public cloud to Spectra BlackPearl S3 with On-Prem Glacier, configured with Spectra Stack. The Spectra Stack is also being used as the backup target for their modern data protection solution, taking advantage of Spectra On-Prem Glacier • In the second location, Spectra BlackPearl S3 with On-Prem Glacier is used as the backup target for their moder data protection solution. The international oral care leader strives to provide accessible, affordable and conveniently care through their telehealth platform.
