In today’s global business environment, organizations use big data extensively to provide insights and make decisions based on reliable information and statistics. As data usage increases, the volumes of information collected grow exponentially. In most cases, data generation occurs at remote edge locations, including mobile edges such as autonomous test vehicles. The generated data is analyzed in runtime at the edge for a short term and then moved to the data center or cloud for long-term processing. The enormous volume of data generated creates challenges for capturing it, processing it at a reasonable speed, and transferring it to the data center fast and cost-effectively.
Customers have challenges using traditional data storage and transfer methods to address this due to limitations in edge environments, such as slow long-distance network speeds, and low data throughput in relation to data volume. BRYCK® delivers the only viable method of addressing these challenges optimally and cost-effectively. BRYCK® platform enables customers to capture large amounts of data from any type of static or mobile edge. The device enables users to process data in real-time at the edge and transport it to the data center or cloud, quickly and cost-effectively.
Big Data Challenges
Big Data Challenges
ENVIRONMENT
Edge environments, which are often remote, mobile, or hostile demand systems that are small in size and weight, low in power consumption, resistant to shocks, vibrations, stringent weather, and other harsh environmental conditions unmet by traditional storage systems
BANDWIDTH
Bandwidth constraints that are inadequate for the volumes of data, which causes slow runtime analytics and sluggish uploading/downloading of information
Typical WAN connections are very slow, while dedicated WAN connections are exorbitantly expensive. This makes the transfer of data from the edge to the data center or cloud very slow, causing delayed access to edge data analytics
SPEED AND SECURITY
Transferring large volumes of data over a network can take days or weeks to complete, leaving data vulnerable to outages or security breaches that can result in delays and data losses. Additionally, delayed access to insights can impact safety, productivity, and profitability in organizations of all sizes.
The BRYCK® Solution
The BRYCK® Solution
BRYCK® is an edge to cloud/datacenter data management platform developed by a team of engineers at Tsecond. This powerful, high-density solution packs data up to a Petabyte into an external drive. Detachable and portable, BRYCK® weighs only 12 pounds and fits in the palm of a hand. The rugged, easy-to-use device addresses the challenges of collecting edge data. With its user-friendly dashboard and standard interface, BRYCK® provides a fast, simple way to transport big data between two endpoints.
SMALL AND COMPACT
Small and lightweight, BRYCK® takes a single physical trip to move petabytes of data from the edge to a data center or the cloud. By minimizing the time and infrastructure requirements, BRYCK® reduces the financial cost and the delays in accessing insights that are frequently experienced with traditional data management methods.
RUGGED AND DURABLE
BRYCK®’s rugged and small form factor enables customers to transport large datasets fast and cost-effectively between locations (domestically and internationally), using standard shipping practices.
BLAZING FAST
Operating at 40 Gbps, BRYCK®’s throughput uses multithreaded parallel processing to transport datasets simultaneously in minutes and enables applications to analyze petabytes of data in few hours. Advanced algorithms effectively utilize flash storage bandwidth by serializing random writes into sequential writes and combining smaller I/Os into larger ones.
SIMPLE AND SECURE
BRYCK®’s simple interface enables anyone to seamlessly connect and transfer the data to a processing or cloud storage facility. BRYCK®’s direct connectivity, high-speed encryption, and blazing fast I/O provide watertight security against breaches and data losses. After the transfer is complete, the device is wiped clean and ready for reuse.
Small and light-weight, BRYCK® takes a single transit or conveyance to move petabytes of data from the edge to a data center or the cloud.
