In the academic world, data is the most valuable asset.
Modern research institutions generate data volumes that push traditional IT infrastructures to their breaking point.
Here, storage is not just a support service, but the very foundation for scientific breakthroughs.
CLYSO supports this sector through targeted solutions:
High-volume, heterogeneous, and valuable for decades. Academic data requires a storage architecture designed for the unique needs of modern science.
Fulfilling Key Academic Demands:
Massive datasets from genomics, climate models, and AI training (LLMs) require our high-throughput, parallel performance across hundreds of compute nodes.
To guarantee long-term reproducibility and Open Science compliance (10-30 years or more), our platform features continuous checksums to protect against bit-rot and silent corruption.
High-resolution media archives and campus cloud storage are managed with strict logical separation between faculties, institutes, and budgets on a single infrastructure.
Repositories for code, container images, and ML models can grow unpredictably. We deliver horizontal scalability on commodity hardware without any vendor lock-in.
Shared research spaces are fully supported via integrated geo-replication and federated data environments for cross-site projects.
How our customers deploy Ceph-based storage for cutting-edge research:
Providing fast Tier-1 storage for compute clusters. Ceph’s parallel architecture delivers data simultaneously to thousands of nodes for simulations or LLM training.
Establishing a single source of truth via S3 & POSIX. Researchers access the same data pool through standard interfaces, significantly accelerating interdisciplinary projects.
Audit-proof preservation over decades. Using cost-effective hardware tiers fulfills funding compliance rules and makes datasets accessible for Open Science.
Connecting multiple sites into a shared storage pool with geo-replication, while each institution retains full sovereignty over its data assets.
Acting as a highly scalable S3 target for large VM landscapes. Rapid recovery speeds protect campus operations from hardware failure or ransomware.
CLYSO delivers the agility that rigid legacy systems lack in academic environments:
Unified Storage: Native S3 object, file, and block storage from a single platform – ideal for bridging AI research and traditional workloads.
Full Control: You decide on the data location and access protocols. Fully GDPR-compliant and independent of hardware vendors.
HPC- & Cloud-Native: Seamless integration into existing environments like supercomputers, Kubernetes clusters, or ML pipelines.
Optimized TCO: Drastic reduction of operational costs by utilizing open-source technology and standard commodity hardware.
Academic research is subject to rigorous regulatory frameworks. We help you meet them:
Secure management of sensitive or personal research datasets in full compliance with GDPR.
Deploying energy- and cost-efficient cold storage tiers for mandatory retention periods.
Controlled and secure sharing of scientific insights with the global community.
Active contributors to the Ceph ecosystem and members of leading open-source foundations.
Research Without Limits.
Scalable, open, and future-proof. Let’s collaborate to design the ideal storage strategy for your institution.
