About Merlin

AiRE was designed from the very beginning to be cloud connected and we have a number of optional cloud services to enhance AiRE. Merlin is our vision of a modern cloud operations center for accessing these cloud services and intelligently managing all data in one place.

Intelligent insights into all data from the cloud

CloudSight delivers intelligent insights into all data from the cloud. CloudSight is a cloud processing engine that analyzes millions of data points from all your AiRE instances with AI to present a variety of data‑driven reports. CloudSight’s machine learning capabilities are upgraded right along with each SmartCARE plan.

Proactive support tailored to customer needs

SmartCARE is our technology‑driven customer care program designed to support, optimize and add value to AiRE IntelligentFiler. The SmartCARE program comes with three distinct service plans – standard, advanced and premium – each with its own SLA.

Like having your own data center with cloud agility

Instead of having to choose between your own data centers or the public cloud for offsite backup, it’s now possible to enjoy a cloud‑like experience in a physical data center with Vault.

Virtual machines

Leveraging virtual machines (VMs) is a popular way of rationalizing IT infrastructure into fewer physical servers. This cuts costs and makes the infrastructure more agile and flexible. But VM performance and redundancy can be challenging, regardless whether you’re a cloud service provider or a large enterprise with on‑prem VMs.

Databases

Many mission‑critical transactional applications in industries like finance and healthcare are highly dependent on database performance and redundancy. With critical applications and sensitive data at stake, the way databases are stored, managed, safeguarded, scaled and backed up is a high priority for many organizations.

Long‑term archiving for tier 3 cold data

You may be required to archive certain business documents for up to a decade or need to preserve research for a lifetime. You don’t need fast access or maximum redundancy for this cold data, so you don’t need to pay for higher than storage tier 3. But, even though you don’t need immediate access, you also can’t afford to lose your cold data permanently. Long‑term archives can also add up over time, making it a challenge to acquire more storage capacity.

Backup and recovery

To be safe in today’s increasingly complex threat environment and support tomorrow’s increasingly agile business models, rapid data recovery is essential. For some mission‑critical workloads, just one hour of outage could cost you millions. The threat of major disasters, like a natural disaster knocking out extensive IT infrastructure or a successful ransomware attack, is a cause of concern. But IT teams also need to contend with all kinds of lesser data mishaps, such as accidental deletion.

Cybersecurity

Getting caught unprepared by a ransomware attack could cost your organization millions. There’s also increasingly sophisticated phishing and other data breaches to worry about. To face all of these threats confidently, you need to have solid prevention and remediation plans and capabilities in place.

AiRE STaaS

How would you like to store your data with the very best in performance, redundancy and compression – with no infrastructure management and full GDPR compliance? We’ve partnered with leading European data centers to give you all the benefits of our unique software, AiRE, without any of the sysadmin hassle of managing your own infrastructure.

FlexiPAY

FlexiPAY is our optional pay‑as‑you‑grow program that provides cloud‑like pricing for both physical and cloud AiRE instances to optimize storage costs and scale value more effectively. If you have an advanced SmartCARE plan or higher, you can apply for FlexiPAY. Here’s how it works.

Data migration

Data migration can be a delicate process yet it is a part of everyday life for IT professionals. But you should have nothing to fear if you rely on the right reality and know when you need help. We take the guesswork out of data migration with end‑to‑end data integrity and service continuity.

Remote installation

Spending an unnecessary amount of time setting up and getting started with a new system can be a pain for IT teams. In addition to designing AiRE for ease of use, we provide a remote installation and configuration service to help you get up and running faster than you ever would have thought possible.

Remote administration

Managing storage arrays can be a challenge for IT teams if they don’t have the time and specialized knowledge required to continuously optimize the system. Our remote administration service provides vast knowledge of data protection, backup and other sysadmin tasks to add value for your operations and smart AI‑enabled tools that save time.

Data protection management

With everything from ransomware and spear phishing to natural disasters and accidental deletion, today’s complex threat environment makes data protection an increasingly great challenge for IT teams. To tackle all of this, you need a holistic approach, and that’s exactly what our data protection management service delivers.

Long‑term retention management

Regardless whether you need to retain certain archival data for 5 years, business records for 10 years or research for a lifetime, an effective data retention strategy is essential for ensuring both cost efficiency and data integrity. Our long‑term retention management service helps you make the right infrastructure choices today to match the needs of tomorrow.

About Merlin

AiRE was designed from the very beginning to be cloud connected and we have a number of optional cloud services to enhance AiRE. Merlin is our vision of a modern cloud operations center for accessing these cloud services and intelligently managing all data in one place.

Intelligent insights into all data from the cloud

CloudSight delivers intelligent insights into all data from the cloud. CloudSight is a cloud processing engine that analyzes millions of data points from all your AiRE instances with AI to present a variety of data‑driven reports. CloudSight’s machine learning capabilities are upgraded right along with each SmartCARE plan.

Proactive support tailored to customer needs

SmartCARE is our technology‑driven customer care program designed to support, optimize and add value to AiRE IntelligentFiler. The SmartCARE program comes with three distinct service plans – standard, advanced and premium – each with its own SLA.

Like having your own data center with cloud agility

Instead of having to choose between your own data centers or the public cloud for offsite backup, it’s now possible to enjoy a cloud‑like experience in a physical data center with Vault.

Virtual machines

Leveraging virtual machines (VMs) is a popular way of rationalizing IT infrastructure into fewer physical servers. This cuts costs and makes the infrastructure more agile and flexible. But VM performance and redundancy can be challenging, regardless whether you’re a cloud service provider or a large enterprise with on‑prem VMs.

Databases

Many mission‑critical transactional applications in industries like finance and healthcare are highly dependent on database performance and redundancy. With critical applications and sensitive data at stake, the way databases are stored, managed, safeguarded, scaled and backed up is a high priority for many organizations.

Long‑term archiving for tier 3 cold data

You may be required to archive certain business documents for up to a decade or need to preserve research for a lifetime. You don’t need fast access or maximum redundancy for this cold data, so you don’t need to pay for higher than storage tier 3. But, even though you don’t need immediate access, you also can’t afford to lose your cold data permanently. Long‑term archives can also add up over time, making it a challenge to acquire more storage capacity.

Backup and recovery

To be safe in today’s increasingly complex threat environment and support tomorrow’s increasingly agile business models, rapid data recovery is essential. For some mission‑critical workloads, just one hour of outage could cost you millions. The threat of major disasters, like a natural disaster knocking out extensive IT infrastructure or a successful ransomware attack, is a cause of concern. But IT teams also need to contend with all kinds of lesser data mishaps, such as accidental deletion.

Cybersecurity

Getting caught unprepared by a ransomware attack could cost your organization millions. There’s also increasingly sophisticated phishing and other data breaches to worry about. To face all of these threats confidently, you need to have solid prevention and remediation plans and capabilities in place.

AiRE STaaS

How would you like to store your data with the very best in performance, redundancy and compression – with no infrastructure management and full GDPR compliance? We’ve partnered with leading European data centers to give you all the benefits of our unique software, AiRE, without any of the sysadmin hassle of managing your own infrastructure.

FlexiPAY

FlexiPAY is our optional pay‑as‑you‑grow program that provides cloud‑like pricing for both physical and cloud AiRE instances to optimize storage costs and scale value more effectively. If you have an advanced SmartCARE plan or higher, you can apply for FlexiPAY. Here’s how it works.

Data migration

Data migration can be a delicate process yet it is a part of everyday life for IT professionals. But you should have nothing to fear if you rely on the right reality and know when you need help. We take the guesswork out of data migration with end‑to‑end data integrity and service continuity.

Remote installation

Spending an unnecessary amount of time setting up and getting started with a new system can be a pain for IT teams. In addition to designing AiRE for ease of use, we provide a remote installation and configuration service to help you get up and running faster than you ever would have thought possible.

Remote administration

Managing storage arrays can be a challenge for IT teams if they don’t have the time and specialized knowledge required to continuously optimize the system. Our remote administration service provides vast knowledge of data protection, backup and other sysadmin tasks to add value for your operations and smart AI‑enabled tools that save time.

Data protection management

With everything from ransomware and spear phishing to natural disasters and accidental deletion, today’s complex threat environment makes data protection an increasingly great challenge for IT teams. To tackle all of this, you need a holistic approach, and that’s exactly what our data protection management service delivers.

Long‑term retention management

Regardless whether you need to retain certain archival data for 5 years, business records for 10 years or research for a lifetime, an effective data retention strategy is essential for ensuring both cost efficiency and data integrity. Our long‑term retention management service helps you make the right infrastructure choices today to match the needs of tomorrow.

Scaling from terabytes to petabytes in seconds

Discover how AiRE’s ability to scale up from a few terabytes to petabytes in a few seconds gave Ghent University the agility it needed to store large amounts of critical research data.

The customer

Ghent University is a top 100 university and one of the major universities in Belgium. Its 11 faculties offer a wide range of courses and conduct in‑depth research within a wide range of scientific domains. It is also the first European university in the Songdo Global University Campus in South Korea.

Located in Flanders, the Dutch‑speaking part of Belgium and the cultural and economic heart of Europe, Ghent University is an active partner in national and international educational, scientific and industrial cooperation. With a view to cooperation in research and scientific service, numerous research groups, centers and institutes have been founded over the years. Several of them are renowned worldwide in various scientific disciplines such as biotechnology, aquaculture, microelectronics and history.

The Ghent University Department of Plant Biotechnology and Bioinformatics plays a crucial role in the education of students in biochemistry/biotechnology, plant biotechnology and bioinformatics by offering courses in a wide range of disciplines centered around plant‑specific aspects of biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, cell biology and physiology and the ability to use biochemical and biotechnological techniques in a creative and inventive manner. Another aspect is to obtain a better and preferentially more quantitative molecular understanding of cellular processes by integrating and modelling high‑throughput molecular data (omics data).

The challenge

The Ghent University Department of Plant Biotechnology and Bioinformatics needed an agile and modern solution for storing and protecting the critical data from its research. Much of the research it conducts is simulation‑based, and this research must withstand the test of time. Losing important research would be a major blow to the department’s efforts. As a result, the department needed a centralized multiprotocol data storage system for extremely secure archiving of simulation data. This solution also needed to support NFS file services connected to the simulation servers.

New research can result in large amounts of data accumulating quickly, and the research team doesn’t have time to spend upgrading hardware or subscriptions to gain access to more space. This is why ease of scalability would make their work so much easier.

The solution

When STORViX demonstrated that AiRE could easily scale from a few terabytes of storage to petabytes in a few seconds without having to wait for a RAID rebuild operation, there was no doubt in the minds of the department’s research team that this was just the solution they needed.

AiRE IntelligentFiler model 3122 was connected directly to the simulation servers to quickly and easily store the department’s critical simulation data. As the heart of IntelligentFiler, AiRE has powerful features that serve as the lifeblood of the full AiRE IntelligentFiler solution. These features provide continuous protection from corruption, disasters and breaches while optimal performance is always ensured by automating I/O path management, application profile recognition and data reduction.

Having a unified storage system was the perfect solution in terms of agility. This enabled the research team to quickly and easily use the system so they could spend more time conducting research, which is what they do best. In fact, one of the benefits most appreciated by the department was how easy the system was to install and use. Without IT expertise, the research team was able to easily and confidently provision the file system as needed. They never once had to read a manual, undergo full‑scale training, or contact STORViX’s technical support to get up and running.
