Data storage was reaching its limits, and the equipment was reaching its end of life, requiring additional storage to be purchased on an ad-hoc basis to meet the growing demand. As a result, the Hutchison/ MRC Research Centre data became scattered across several different data stores, making it difficult for researchers to understand where to find the data they needed.
Using Mediaflux and Spectra Logic BlackPearl, the Hutchison/MRC Research Centre has unified data silos into a single global namespace to optimise the workflows of data with a smarter, more flexible data management solution.
Mediaflux paired with Spectra Logic’s data storage solutions creates the ideal integrated solution for long-term management of any data at any scale. Mediaflux provides a user-friendly interface and sophisticated data management capabilities, while Spectra provides extremely cost-effective solutions that accommodate growing demands on storage. Leveraging the power of metadata, Mediaflux enables policy-based virtualisation of existing data silos with the efficiency and protection of Spectra BlackPearl’s scalable storage.
