TECHNOLOGY DEEP DIVE
Global Deduplication & Compression
bat365 CloudFS™ automatically deduplicates and compresses all data before it is synced to the cloud. The result is a dramatically reduced storage footprint from the outset.
bat365 CloudFS deduplicates data before it’s consolidated in the cloud, across every site in your network. Each unique block from a file is stored once and metadata pointers are updated to record which blocks comprise the file. Here’s how it works:
In-line deduplication
Data is deduplicated in-line, at the most efficient, granular block level when files are created or changed. If a block already exists, metadata references are updated so the data doesn’t need to be replicated.
Globally accessible
Deduplication data is stored with the metadata, so each bat365 node has a full record of the deduplication tables. Even if a file block isn’t local, the deduplication engine uses it to make the entire system more efficient.
Instant Updates
Deduplication data is updated instantly through metadata from other nodes and local write activity. As a result, every location in your network always has an up-to-the-moment view of every file.
Scales to Petabytes
bat365’s patented technology scales to petabytes and minimizes lookups for unique data, making it efficient and highly performant, even for large volumes of enterprise data.
Compression
After deduplication, bat365 CloudFS uses a lossless compression algorithm to break each file into blocks as it is created. Each block is compressed in-line, in memory, as it’s created. Last but not least, bat365 CloudFS takes advantage of redundancy within files to aid in greater reduction in file size.
Caching Hot Data Locally
In addition to caching metadata and global metadata locally in flash, bat365 uses several additional techniques to ensure a fast and seamless file access experience.
Cache Hot Data
Caches hot data on each node based on read and write frequency.
Policy-based Caching
Provides policy-based caching based on file types, folders, and other criteria.
Built-In WAN Optimization
The global deduplication and compression provided in bat365 CloudFS makes it possible to reduce or eliminate expensive WAN optimization appliances and eliminate costly MPLS or other private networks.
This is because
Only unique file data is sent to the cloud when it's created
Only active data is cached locallly
Global file locking keeps file operations local and application data doesn't need to cross the WAN each time a user opens, saves, or closes a file
Latency is no longer a problem since file operations are local
Why Global Deduplication and Compression Matter
Leading Video Game Developer
Problem
- 1.5 PB of build files across 30 offices
- Spending millions of dollars on enterprise NAS systems, mirroring, and backups
Results
- Consolidated file data down to 45 TB of storage (99% reduction)
- Cloud economics enabled them to pay $4000 a month for all tiers of storage
Accelerate digital transformation with a powerful hybrid cloud file platform that:
Modernizes Storage Architecture
Allows organizations to significantly reduce storage costs by consolidating dispersed file data into a unified, deduplicated, compressed, and secured data set in the cloud or on premises.
Unlocks Organizational Productivity
Enables file data to look and feel local to users and processes everywhere. It uniquely empowers users to harness their collective skills by working collaboratively, regardless of location.
Delivers Seamless Cloud File Services
Turns public or private cloud storage into a high performance, immutable global file system that flawlessly delivers file data to people, processes, and AI, and makes it resilient to damage.
Reduces Operational Complexity
Lets IT teams turn their attention to innovation with less file data and infrastructure to manage and protect, fewer storage refreshes to plan for and less worry about recovering from file damage.
