iCAS FS Scale-Out Storage Platform

Architecture

So that long-term data storage works like a dream and doesn't turn into a nightmare: What should a system look like in a perfect world?

• The system does what it is supposed to do: Store and protect data from different sources, and meet all regulatory requirements
• The system identifies sources of error and fixes them independently
• You have no touchpoints and no workload with the system
• The capacity grows in relation to the requirements and can be extended easily and limitlessly
• The total costs are transparent and low
• The system is robust, secure, and highly available
• The architecture is designed for future changes and is independent
• Investments in software and hardware are protected
• You can rely on the system and focus on your core business

This scenario was the drawing board for the development of iCAS FS. It took us a lot of brainwork, passion, a little bit of cheekiness and many years of experience. We are proud of the result! Convince yourself and turn the perfect world scenario into reality with iCAS FS.

Joint forces against ransomware

The choice of backup software and storage infrastructure is crucial in the fight against data loss and ransomware. With iCAS FS, you can make your data backup fit for the future while reducing complexity, cost and effort.

Thanks to S3 Object Lock and a closed system, iCAS FS minimizes the IT attack surface and protects your backups, archive data and more. Secure your backups easily and efficiently with iCAS FS!

High availability

iCAS FS is a scale-out cluster in which the overall performance is provided by a large number of storage server nodes. This modular architecture allows for any expansion of capacity and performance. Thanks to the transparent read/write failover and active-active cluster, iCAS FS offers high availability for archiving your important business data.

If one node is not available, data is written to another available node. As soon as the node is available again, the data is automatically synchronized and full redundancy is restored. iCAS FS switches smartly between synchronous and asynchronous replication, depending on the current latency between data centers, and allows stretched clusters over long distances (WAN copy).
