Additional features

Hyperscale Data Management Platform

Built around world-class hyperscale database technology (XODB®) to manage billions of assets and hundreds of petabytes of data on a single server or unlimited assets with a federation of servers.

Single Worldview of Data

Creates a unified view of all stored data, regardless of its type or location.

Manages Any Type of Data

Handles both structured and unstructured data seamlessly.

Metadata Curation

Allows users to add rich metadata, controlled vocabularies, tags, and use any standard or customized schemas to describe data assets.

Advanced Search & Findability

Leverages metadata for efficient searching, enabling users to find what they need quickly (comparable to search engines).

Provenance Tracking

Maintains a complete history, lifecycle, and relationships of data assets.

Optimized Storage Costs

Automatically places data in the most cost-effective storage tiers at any given time.

High-Speed Managed I/O

Optimizes data transmission and storage across networks and heterogeneous storage technologies.

Tight Access Controls

Provides granular control over access to every aspect of the system and every individual datum.

Comprehensive Auditing

Logs and audits all activities, providing insight into who accessed what, when, and from where.

Analysis Capabilities

Offers statistical analysis and reporting for metadata, data, and system usage.

Data & Metadata Transformation

Can transcode and interchange metadata and data to and from any other schema and format.

Protocol Translation

Ingests data via one protocol and allows access via any other, supporting file, medical (e.g., DICOM transformation), geospatial, NFS, SMB, and S3 protocols.

Asset Protection & Disaster Recovery

Automatically distributes data to multiple systems for locality of access and disaster recovery purposes, including replication to a DR site for failover.

Seamless Integration

Designed to integrate with any other business system and workflow via a simple API.

Enterprise Monitoring Integration

Can be incorporated into any enterprise performance monitoring environment.

Proprietary XODB® Database

A custom-built database engine designed for extreme scalability, rapid metadata management, data compression, and diverse query options (e.g., regular expression, range set, FAQL).

Multi-Factor Authentication & Authorization (MFA&A)

Through "Mediaflux Pocket," offers system-wide, file-level, and collection-level MFA&A with adjustable security levels (passcodes, PINs, biometrics), safeguarding against phishing, brute force, and internal threats.

Secure Internal Operations

Requires MFA&A and sys admin/manager permission for critical activities like data deletion/movement, with push notifications for audit trails.

Global Namespace

Provides a single, unified namespace view of all data regardless of its physical storage location or type (NAS, object storage, parallel file systems, cloud storage).

Intelligent Data Placement (Tiering & Migration)

Automatically moves data between different storage tiers based on usage patterns to optimize cost and performance.

File and File System Versioning

Ensures provenance and easy data recovery.

Open Platform

Offers open APIs for administrators and developers to combine or create services, fostering seamless and interoperable data workflows.

Distributed Solution

Combines data management, metadata curation, and business rules into a single distributed solution.

High Performance Computing (HPC) Support

Serves data directly to HPC environments to shorten time to discovery, designed for extreme scale and flexibility for scientific instruments and modeling.

Solution Components (implied/examples)

Can function as a search engine, geospatial cataloging system, digital asset management system, file system for large distributed data, workflow engine, data mover, and physical management system.
