PARTNERING WITH INDUSTRY
LEADERS FOR RAPID
DATA STORAGE SOLUTIONS
AVIONICS VISIONARIES / LEADING RESEARCH INSTITUTE
A leading research institute was in search
of the most dense, rugged universal storage
solution for an airborne application.
High-performance,
incredibly dense,
SWaP-optimized and
network-attached
all-flash storage
system is a simplified
and rapid solution
developed in less
time at a lower cost
TRADITIONAL APPROACH MEANS
LONG AND COSTLY DEVELOPMENT CYCLE
Purchasing a hardware system and developing personalized storage
software would require the institute to bring on full-time developers
to create a network-attached storage solution. This approach would
take approximately four years to complete, require long-term software
management beyond the program end, and rule out on-time delivery
for the end user.
INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS FOR RAPID SOLUTIONS
The leading research institute tapped into Mercury's strategic relationship
with the number one storage supplier, VAST Data, to help with all their
needs and immediately deliver a product. And while taking advantage
of the more comprehensive Mercury solution meant a larger upfront
cost, Mercury and VAST assured that the savings over the life of the
program would be extremely significant, plus all updates/upgrades
would be passed along to the end-user at no additional cost.
$30M IN SAVINGS OVER LIFE OF PROGRAM WITH
INNOVATIVE UNIVERSAL STORAGE ARCHITECTURE
The research institute received an incredibly efficient system in a
shorter timeframe—within three months go-to-market lead time
versus four years, which would have cost more in the long run, and
been less effective—that fit multiple petabytes of storage, switching
and teraflops of performance into a 10U space. The resulting dense
SWaP-optimized, network-attached, all-flash storage system was a
more simplified, comprehensive and cost-effective solution achieved
through close collaboration with commercial tech providers.
