Green IT directly from the wind turbine: PoINT Archival Gateway in the Cristie GREEN-S3 Cloud

Case Study Cristie GREEN S3-Cloud / PoINT Archival Gateway

The GREEN-S3 Cloud from Cristie offers its customers a consistently sustainable cloud service that also scores highly in terms of data security. Provided by windCORES, the climate-neutral data centers are located at the base of wind turbines and are powered directly by renewable energy.

Our S3-to-Tape solution PoINT Archival Gateway fits seamlessly into the sustainability and security concept of the GREEN-S3 Cloud. It enables the integration of the energy-efficient and secure storage medium tape for a variety of use cases, which are thus available to the users of the GREEN-S3 Cloud.

PoINT Blog: Integrating IBM Storage Ceph with PoINT Archival Gateway for Policy-Based S3-to-Tape Archiving

PoINT Archival Gateway + IBM Storage Ceph

IBM Storage Ceph is an enterprise-grade software-defined storage solution that provides object storage tiering capabilities to optimize cost and performance by seamlessly moving data between storage classes.

With PoINT Archival Gateway, a tape-based storage class can be homogeneously integrated into a Ceph cluster. The joint solution enables seamless S3-compatible policy-driven archiving to tape.

Our current blog article describes the functionality of the solution and provides a hands-on deployment guide.

<p>Siegen, Germany. In response to customer requests regarding cloud repatriation, Siegen-based software manufacturer PoINT has made significant improvements to PoINT Data Replicator. Through scaling, the software now enables major performance increases for S3-to-S3 migration projects.</p> <p>Siegen-based software manufacturer PoINT presents the new version 3.0 of PoINT Data Replicator. With this new release, PoINT Data Replicator offers scalability that is implemented by adding nodes &mdash; so-called Data Mover Nodes.</p> <p>PoINT thus provides the answer to numerous inquiries related to cloud repatriation and cloud migration: An increasing number of companies are reevaluating their cloud strategy and seeking solutions to bring data and workflows back into their own infrastructure or migrate them to European cloud providers. This type of S3-to-S3 migration project requires a scalable software solution that reliably transfers large amounts of data from one cloud to another or back to a company's own data center.</p> <p>PoINT Data Replicator carries out S3-to-S3 replication processes. Therefore, the solution can be used for backup purposes, as well as for migrating data from an S3 source to an S3 target. PoINT Data Replicator's Copy Services run on Data Mover Nodes; scaling is achieved by adding additional nodes. This also increases the performance of the replication process, enabling the efficient replication of large amounts of data.</p> <p>In order to meet the individual requirements of customers, PoINT Data Replicator can now be licensed in a &ldquo;Single Node&rdquo; option and as a scalable &ldquo;Multi Node&rdquo; version.</p> <p>The new release further optimizes the integration of PoINT Data Replicator with the S3-to-Tape solution PoINT Archival Gateway. This allows users to store their data directly and cost-efficiently on tape when repatriating it from the cloud, while taking advantage of the security and archiving features of PoINT Archival Gateway.</p> <p><a class="pdf" href="t3://file?uid=3326">Press release (PDF)</a></p>
