Overview

DataCore Swarm provides a software-defined platform for data protection, archive, management, organization, and search at a massive scale. It radically simplifies your ability to manage, store, and protect data while allowing S3/ HTTP(S) access to any application, device, or end-user. Transforming your growing datasets into a flexible and immediately accessible content library, Swarm enables remote workflows and on-demand access.

With Swarm, you no longer need to migrate data into disparate storage systems for long-term preservation, delivery, and analysis. Consolidate all files, find the data you are looking for quickly, and reduce the total cost of ownership.

Delivering high levels of cyber-resilience, Swarm ensures protection against security threats and compliance with business and regulatory requirements. Additionally, benefits from the ability to seamlessly shift between protection methods based on custom policies. Data governance is automated from creation to expiration—resulting in storage that adapts to your business.

Seamlessly scale from a few hundred terabytes to multiple petabytes and even exabytes with any mix of standard x86 hardware and disks. This limitless solution combines scaling of capacity and throughput with universal access and the industry’s most flexible single-site and multi-site deployment options across core and edge environments.
