Problem
Traditional on-premises data storage solutions often struggle to efficiently manage the increasing volume of data, leading to high energy consumption, complex capacity upgrades, and escalating costs per terabyte. Hyperscale data centers have addressed these challenges with advanced technologies, but these solutions have not been readily available for on-premises deployments.
Solution
Leil Storage provides high-density, energy-efficient on-premises data storage solutions, bringing hyperscale storage efficiencies to enterprise environments. By leveraging Host-Managed Shingled Magnetic Recording (HM-SMR) technology and power-disable HDD management, Leil Storage significantly reduces electricity consumption and optimizes storage density. The solution enables seamless capacity expansion and instant access to large-scale data archives, eliminating downtime associated with traditional storage migrations. Leil Storage's modular software-defined storage, based on the open-source SaunaFS, allows organizations to optimize their total cost of ownership (TCO) while supporting green initiatives.
Target Audience
Leil Storage targets enterprises, research institutions, and media companies that require large-scale, energy-efficient on-premises data storage solutions for active archives, AI/HPC workloads, backup, CCTV storage, enterprise file sharing, media and video post-production, and on-premises Kubernetes deployments.
