University Of Connecticut Health Center Chooses Amplidata’s Himalaya
UConn Health extends legacy NAS storage with efficient, flexible software defined object storage.
Amplidata has announced that UConn Health has purchased and installed a storage system based on Amplidata’s Himalaya object-based, software-defined storage software.
UConn Health has used high performance, and high cost, network attached storage (NAS) for its expanding data storage needs, moving from its first HPC cluster in 1998 to a server room and then to a dedicated HPC data center by 2010, but found its needs continuing to grow beyond what was feasible at the cost of expanding NAS implementations. It has turned to a scalable, reliable and cost effective Himalaya-based object storage systems that not only meets UConn Health’s growing needs, but those of the University of Connecticut at large.
