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:
HPC Centers & Universities: Delivering the extreme parallel throughput required to power data-intensive compute workloads and eliminate storage bottlenecks.
Research Institutes: Enabling cross-location collaboration without data silos.
National & EU Projects: Guaranteeing data sovereignty and strict, audit-ready compliance with complex regulatory frameworks.
Heterogeneous, massive, and valuable for decades – academic data requires a storage architecture designed for the unique needs of modern science.
Our impact on key academic requirements:
Eliminate bottlenecks for data-intensive research.
Our architecture delivers the massive parallel throughput required to feed genomics pipelines, climate models, and AI/LLM workloads, ensuring simultaneous, barrier-free I/O across hundreds of compute nodes.
Secure compliant, long-term data retention.
To guarantee decades of reproducibility and meet strict regulatory mandates (10 to 30+ years), continuous checksums actively protect immutable research datasets from bit-rot and silent corruption.
Unify fragmented campus IT on a single infrastructure.
We enable strict logical isolation, granular access controls, and precise resource tracking across different faculties, institutes, and student cloud environments.
Future-proof your environment against unpredictable data explosions.
Scale horizontally on standard commodity hardware to house rapidly growing ML models, container registries, and codebases while retaining total architectural freedom with zero vendor lock-in.
Power distributed research without borders.
Multi-site projects are natively supported via integrated geo-replication and federated data environments, effectively breaking down geographical silos.
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 operational agility and architectural freedom that rigid legacy environments lack.
Unified Storage: Flawlessly bridge the gap between cutting-edge AI and legacy enterprise workloads with native S3, file, and block storage from a single, high-performance platform.
Full Control: Retain absolute sovereignty over data locations and protocols with a 100% vendor-independent, GDPR-compliant architecture.
HPC- & Cloud-Native: Accelerate time-to-value via native integration into supercomputing nodes, dynamic Kubernetes clusters, and data-hungry ML pipelines.
Optimized TCO: Reduce operational overhead and capital expenditure by leveraging expertly curated open-source technology deployed on cost-effective 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.
