GeoEye + Cleversafe... Archival Insurance (Imagery)


[SatNews] GeoEye has selected Cleversafe, Inc. to meet its requirements....

....for a highly reliable and secure active archive to support their business mission and to maintain their image archive. GeoEye's technology enables analysts and experts on the ground to gain significant insight into current and changing geospatial data in order to make critical decisions and support important missions around the globe. In order to collect, process, and analyze massive amounts of geospatial data, GeoEye required a scalable and flexible storage architecture that could accommodate the world's highest resolution satellite imagery, GeoEye-1. Moreover, GeoEye demanded that satellite images be available with zero down time and 99.999 percent (5 nines) reliability, while keeping costs under control. Cleversafe's Dispersed Storage Network (dsNet™) active archive solution provides GeoEye with over 99.9999999999999 percent (15 nines) of annual data reliability and system uptime. The need to store critical digital content and imaging at the petabyte level and beyond can no longer be accomplished with traditional storage solutions. With complex requirements for both security and governance, the need for content preservation and data integrity, it's more critical than ever that companies look at solutions that deliver built-in encryption, multiple levels of integrity checks and high levels of reliability.
