OCP U.S. Summit 2015 is one of the events of the industry hosted by OCP, Open Compute Project, an organization that Facebook has established to promote open source server hardware. The OCP has nearly 200 companies now participating and nearly 3,000 people gathered at the summit to openly share and learn about the technologies that are redefining the data center and moving our industry forward.
Data Archiver
In recent years, long-term storage of big data has become a social
challenge. The Data Archiver is a "scalable optical disc library system"
that meets the needs of the next generation data center proposed by the
OCP with its ability to store data for an extended period of time.
By
drawing on its optical media, disc drive, and sophisticated robotics
technology, Panasonic has developed a scalable system suitable for
long-term data storage comprised of modules that can be extended as the
amount of data increases. Having a long data storage life of 50 years,
customers will no longer have to migrate data periodically. Compared to
hard discs, the Data Archiver also boasts low power cooling, and
therefore it will significantly reduce running costs.
Battery Backup Unit
Data centers require backup power in the event of a power failure during
long-term storage period. In addition, the batteries need to be both
compact and efficient to support the needs of the distributed type of
data center.
At OCP, Panasonic also showcased a battery backup unit
that utilizes its 18650-size cylindrical lithium-ion batteries. This is
a reliable battery with a wide array of applications from laptop
computers to the world's most advanced electric vehicles.
Panasonic leverages its technological expertise to provide game-changing back-end solutions for data centers. As the amount of data continues to increase exponentially, Panasonic will offer even higher capacity optical discs and better scalability so that it may help streamline customers' data operation.
