Geospatial
Capture, disseminate and preserve valuable satellite and intelligence data.
Increases in the resolution of video, rapid advances in sensor technologies, the democratization of satellite imagery with small sats, and innovations in data fusion—all add up to opportunity. But these technology advances have introduced storage challenges as organizations struggle to keep pace with the massive influx of imagery.
Geospatial teams today need both high-speed capture and shared access to critical data, at a scale never seen before.
Featured Benefits
StorNext’s reliable and proven high-performance technology lies at the center of some of the most demanding workflows in the geospatial world. StorNext specializes in large files—up to 10 billion of these large files per StorNext cluster—and with its high-speed capture, has become an integral part of high-performance GIS workflows.

High-Speed Capture

Shared Access for All
Intelligence is a team sport. Whether your team has tens, hundreds or thousands of users who need shared access to data, StorNext meets the need with file sharing via SAN, LAN and cloud.

Big Scale—Petascale
Data growth is a fact of life, especially with geospatial data—more sats, more sensors, more files and bigger files. Today’s geospatial teams need storage solutions that scale big and bigger—and do so affordably.

Cost-effective Tiering
To manage today’s data growth, you don’t just need scale—you need affordable scale. With tiered storage from Quantum, you get cost-effective tiering and access to files stored on SSD, disk, object storage, tape or cloud.

Built for the Challenges of Today’s Geospatial Archives
The long-term value of geospatial data often lies in its power to be exploited in the future—not just when first collected. Which is why it’s important to preserve mission critical data for future analysis with a scalable storage solution that optimally balances performance, access, and economy. The ability to match the right storage technology to the right data at the right time provides powerful economic benefits in the face of today’s massive data growth.
When you’re managing petascale archives and need to ensure that data is preserved so that it can be connected to some future event—the right scale-out storage solution is invaluable.
Sharing Data Enables Common Operational Picture
Collaboration is a top priority for geospatial analysts. And Xcellis Workflow Storage is designed to enable high-performance shared access to files—across different network topologies, across different client operating systems, and across different file sharing protocols.
It’s not uncommon for StorNext File Systems to be shared by hundreds of users—and with Lattus Object Storage, StorNext data can now be shared using cloud and HTTP REST protocols, too. No other storage platform provides the level of collaboration that is possible with StorNext.
