Web Object Scaler (WOS)
Eliminate Storage Scalability & Performance Limits for Global Content Distribution
Traditional storage and file systems were not designed with the needs of large scale, global content distribution in mind. When storage needs grow to billions of files consuming Petabytes of capacity, all of which must be quickly and efficiently shared between multiple data centers, traditional solutions lack the necessary performance and become complex to deploy, hard to manage, difficult to scale, and overly expensive.
DataDirect Networks is changing the game with Web Object Scaler (WOS), a sophisticated cloud-based file storage technology that radically simplifies and improves how content is stored, distributed, and accessed across multiple geographically dispersed sites. From a single, easy-to-use management interface, you can build a global storage cloud that scales simply and limitlessly.
If you are struggling with or want to avoid the expense and complexity of managing multiple file systems, replication software instances and complex SAN infrastructures, or wish you could have a simple and scalable storage solution that doesn't require storage systems expertise to setup and administer, read on.

Start Small Yet Expand Without Limits
WOS' innovative cloud clustering technology allows you to start with just a few Terabytes of capacity, yet easily and non-disruptively grow your storage capacity to multiple Petabytes in a cost-effective, pay-as-you-grow fashion.
Internet-Scale Performance
WOS clouds can deliver millions of random files per second with extremely low latency, helping you reduce or eliminate the need for expensive Content Delivery Networks
Single Global Namespace
Never manage multiple file systems, RAIDs, LUNs or SANs again. With WOS, regardless of the size of the storage cloud, all objects are in a single namespace that spans all storage nodes and zones. You'll never need to track or look for your data -- WOS automatically knows where it is and how best to serve it.
Policy-Based Content Distribution
Define policies that govern which geographic locations and/or tiers of the WOS cloud each file should be stored on. Easily get content close to users for low-latency delivery, generate multiple copies of popular files for performance, and create automated backup and disaster recovery processes.
Massive File Counts
WOS clouds easily store hundreds of billions of files. Eliminate the need to create and manage multiple file systems built on top of multiple storage systems.
Simple Integrated Management
Regardless of the size of a WOS cloud or the number of geographies in which it is deployed, it is managed as a single entity, from an intuitive, easy-to-use Web-based user interface. You can literally setup a multi-Petabyte, geographically dispersed WOS cloud with automated multi-site replication in minutes.
Fully Resilient
WOS' cloud clustering technology is fully distributed with no single points of failure or bottlenecks. Data is always online and available, and all failure conditions are automatically handled by the WOS cloud without interrupting data access.
