Webair’s Cloud Storage architecture was designed and developed to address the needs of storing, managing and accessing file-based data and other digital content. Businesses can create a single, shared pool of storage that can modularly scale to more than 2.3 petabytes of capacity and deliver data throughput of up to 20GB per second.

Webair Cloud Storage saves data across its cluster multiple times so there is no loss of service or data should a drives or multiple drives in the cluster fail.

“Our clients look for increased speed and seamless scalability, and the days of adding individual hard drives and trying to keep up with the next wave of digital media demands have ended,” Webair President Michael Christopher said. “The Webair Cloud Storage system uses multiple nodes with multiple drives and balances data requests across a vast secure network.

“Bottlenecks are no longer an issue with data guaranteed to be served from hundreds of physical hard drives, providing unprecedented storage scalability and performance. Webair manages the backend, which enables our clients to better spend their time improving their bottom-line. Our new cloud hosting solution is a great way to backup any existing content servers, or replace them altogether.”

Each modular self-contained node of the Webair Cloud Storage contains disk capacity with a storage server, CPU, memory and network connectivity. As additional nodes are added to any cluster, all aspects of the cluster scale linearly including capacity, throughput, memory and CPU processing power. Webair’s technical staff provides the back-end support and software upgrades needed.
