Small Server, Massive Data: Superior Storage for Businesses Managing Big Data
If you’re a business operating in the finance, data analytics, marketing, or security industries, you know how much data storage matters. You also realise the challenge of storing the amount of data hardware necessary to manage such operations at scale efficiently. A storage server capable of storing petabytes of big data usually results in large server racks, active cooling solutions, and valuable floor space lost.
In the last year, ASUS unveiled its ASUS S2036Z storage server products, capable of housing and operating up to over half a petabyte of data in a 2U configuration. Combined with Seagate’s Exos 18TB drives, Seagate’s flagship X Class enterprise drives, this set-up is the ideal space-saving, data-driving installation for any business looking to store, handle, and use data in their day-to-day business operations.
