Etere Disklibrary Supports Sleeping Disks with Ultra-low Power Consumption

Etere DiskLibrary supports sleeping disks that switch to standby mode when not in use. With their ultra-low power consumption, sleeping disks have a longer lifespan. Current technology costs less than LTO for capacity up to 1 PB. Recognizing that data retention and long-term archiving are essential parts of a broadcasting lifecycle, Etere DiskLibrary is designed to offer greater flexibility and security at a lower cost.

Etere Disklibrary Supports Hybrid Tape and Disk Archive for Long-term Storage

Etere Disklibrary works well independently or as part of a hybrid disk and tape solution. Users have the flexibility to adopt the most suitable setup based on the functional requirements of the data to be archived. With Etere, you can simultaneously meet regulatory compliance requirements, lower operating costs, mitigate security risks, and meet your long-term archival goals.

Etere Disklibrary Supports JBODS and MAID

Etere Disklibrary supports JBODS (Just a box of Disks), which enables multiple hard disks to be set up independently or combined into one or more logical volumes using a volume manager. It features a smaller footprint and allows each drive to be accessed from the host PC as a separate drive. Furthermore, JBODS enables the mixing of different disk sizes.

Etere also supports MAID (Massive Array of Idle Disks), which allows many densely packaged disk drives in a system. With MAID, only active drives spin, reducing power consumption by up to 85% compared to traditional disk solutions. Its low power consumption properties prolong the lifespan of the disks by up to 6 times. MAID is also compatible with Write Once Read Occasionally (WORO) applications.
