PoINT Archival Gateway EMBL-EBI

PoINT Archival Gateway EMBL-EBI

PoINT Software & Systems GmbH helped EMBL-EBI by deploying PoINT Archival Gateway, a high-performance, scalable, and cost-efficient tape-based object storage solution with a standardized S3 interface. This replaced slower legacy backup processes by enabling direct data writing to tape without hard disk buffering, optimizing tape capacity and hardware use. The node-based architecture supports flexible scaling for growing data volumes, securing long-term archival of approximately 50PB of research data while ensuring future readiness and vendor independence.
