U.S. Federal Research Agency Shifts from Tape to Cloudian Object Storage for Faster Data Access and Improved Searchability

Pages 1 Pages

A major U.S. government research agency struggled to store and access its rapidly growing data, relying on a large tape-based archive that made retrieval slow and labor‑intensive. To modernize its environment, and following another government institution’s recommendation, the agency adopted Cloudian object storage to replace its tape systems and manage new datasets. This provided a unified, scalable, and efficient storage infrastructure that supports easier access, faster analysis, and better long-term data management essential for scientific advancement.
