PROMISE Technology, a leader in data storage solutions, has announced its collaboration with Toshiba EMEA for the release of a video testimonial that highlights its contribution to the scientific success of CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. This testimonial underscores the reliability, efficiency, and innovation of PROMISE’s storage systems, integrated with Toshiba’s advanced hard drives, in managing the data generated by CERN’s complex experiments.
Storage Serving Science
CERN, renowned for its work in exploring the fundamental laws of the universe, has relied on PROMISE storage systems and Toshiba hard drives for years to handle vast volumes of data. PROMISE systems, including the VTrak J5800 modules with 24 external HDD bays, have proven to be extremely reliable, with some still in use after years of service. Their robust, compact, and energy-efficient design has enabled CERN to optimize data storage performance even under demanding conditions.
Innovation to Meet Modern Needs
In response to the growing demands from CERN, PROMISE Technology and Toshiba have developed the VTrak J5960 model, a 60-bay storage solution in a 4U format, designed for modern data centers. This system, equipped with Toshiba’s high-capacity MG series hard drives, combines energy efficiency, ease of maintenance, and a compact design—essential features for managing current and future data storage requirements.
Commitment to Sustainability: GreenBoost Technology
The VTrak J5960 model incorporates PROMISE’s patented GreenBoost technology, which improves energy efficiency by up to 30%. This advancement not only reduces operational costs but also minimizes environmental impact, aligning with CERN’s commitment to sustainability.
“GreenBoost Technology is a game changer, delivering exceptional performance while minimizing energy consumption,” highlighted Alice Chang, chief marketing officer of PROMISE Technology.
Meanwhile, Toshiba continues to develop hard drives with capacities of up to 30 TB, adapting to the massive data storage demands of organizations like CERN. “Our goal is to provide cost-effective and energy-efficient solutions that drive scientific advancements,” stated Rainer W. Kaese, senior business development manager in Toshiba’s storage products division.
A Model of Scientific Collaboration
Eric Bonfillou, deputy head of the IT Fabric group at CERN, praised the partnership: “In our mission to unravel the mysteries of the universe, we need partners who understand the importance of data storage, reliability, and efficiency, tailoring their solutions to our unique needs.”
This video testimonial not only celebrates the joint achievements of PROMISE Technology, Toshiba EMEA, and CERN but also highlights the crucial role of innovation and sustainability in advancing science.
