Content Distribution

Overview

So you've discovered that serving Web content from a single location can present a serious bottleneck for site scalability, availability and performance. What's more, if your data center or ISP fails, the entire cluster is inaccessible to your customers.

To solve this problem, you've considered routing content through a Content Delivery Network (CDN), making replicated copies to push content closer to the edge and ensure your customers maintain connectivity and continuous access to digital content. But not all your content is suited to go through a CDN. And that can be expensive. We've got a better way.

A Smarter Approach for Content Distribution

Cleversafe's content distribution eliminates bottlenecks presented by single site distribution, as well as the added expense of replicated copies.

SmartRead™ assurance predicts the optimal network routes and storage nodes to most efficiently return digital content. Digital content is reassembled in segments, and for each segment, thousands—if not millions—of combinations of slices are examined to determine the best delivery path. So unlike traditional CDNs, which route users to the server, Cleversafe constantly optimizes the path to return content in real time as it is streaming.

The benefit: if a failure connection or server slow down occurs—which are common on the internet—recreation of content is routed around the failures and content delivery occurs seamlessly. Happy users. Happy administrator.

Limitless Scalability to Match End-User Demands

And, Cleversafe's solution is designed with limitless scalability in mind, particularly with an aggregate performance model.

By integrating the Accesser software directly into your applications or devices, you can distribute the read requests to the edge, enabling massively parallel reads. This avoids the chokepoints of a gateway appliance.

Optimized Network

Cleversafe has also optimized throughput by actively tuning the TCP stack (buffer sizes and congestion control) and through massively parallel I/O resulting from distributed write and read commands across the multiple Slicestor nodes. This results in a content distribution storage solution that meets the demands of the network, while supporting future availability requirements.

Active Archive

Looking at an active archival solution that provides your customers with immediate access to their data? Face it, tape archives have challenges—long recovery time objectives, security challenges with data residing outside the data center and time required to backup the data sets. We've got a better way.

Active Archive

Cleversafe solves all of these problems with our active archive storage solution— it's secure, reliable, and scalable, at a fraction of the cost. So you can meet your compliance requirements with peace of mind.

Guaranteed Bit-Perfect Preservation

Cleversafe’s reliable features ensure you're protected against data loss—whether it's latent hardware errors, data corruption or malicious threats. With two levels of integrity checking, you're guaranteed bit-perfect data delivery and preservation.

PerfectBits integrity also employs an intelligent background process that scans storage nodes, checking for and correcting errors. Offensive error correction is crucial to keep your long-term archive healthy, since information isn't as frequently read.

Offsite Locations

Typical Cleversafe deployments span multiple data centers. With your active archive distributed across multiple offsite locations, you're protected against a single location failure or catastrophe. Finally, there's a smarter and more cost-effective way to protect and preserve your archive assets. Cleversafe.

Easily Integrate with Your Applications

Cleversafe integrates within your existing data center environment utilizing object-based access methods. You have the ability to identify Cleversafe’s active archive as a backup target for your primary storage solution, implementing a cost effective and performance-oriented cloud storage archive solution. It's that simple.

Long Term Protection

And Cleversafe is able to ensure your data is preserved and securely accessible for long-term retention. So you can store your data forever. With Cleversafe, all your data will survive any condition, including server failure, malicious attack, administrator negligence or site disaster. Your digital content isn’t tied to a specific server or storage device...and the data is automatically reconstituted as new storage nodes are installed in the system.

Content Storage

With the explosion of new content being created—images, audio files, video—you're challenged with moving your data from expensive tier one storage to a more cost-effective tier. Ultimately, you need content storage that can be distributed across your infrastructure to effectively store and distribute content. Welcome to Cleversafe.
