Application-Aware Storage Systems For Government
Pillar Data Systems, the leading provider of Application-Aware storage systems, is an ideal choice for Federal organizations demanding the highest levels of storage availability, performance and scalability. By utilizing Pillar’s multiple Quality of Service levels across a common storage pool, Pillar customers have the unique ability to position data on the most cost-effective and energy-efficient storage medium given the application characteristics. The Axiom is designed and architected to meet current and future requirements of today’s Federal enterprise data centers from large-scale archival initiatives to high performance applications with new levels of storage utilization, performance, scalability, and reliability. The Pillar Axiom cuts administrative time by more than 50 percent allowing IT personell to focus more on the critical applications and less on the infrastructure.
The performance of applications depends on I/O and transfer rates, not capacity alone. It was with this premise that the Axiom was designed. The Pillar Axiom 600 increases efficiency by assigning priorities to applications and reducing I/O bottlenecks, while increasing transfer rates. As such, the Pillar system can sustain the highest utilization rates in the industry; well above 80 percent without compromising performance. With guaranteed 80 percent utilization, the Pillar Axiom lets customers use more of the capacity they buy.
Designed from the ground up as the only true Application-aware Storage system, the Pillar Axiom allows users to match multiple application characteristics to the appropriate service levels within a single storage platform.
Pillar’s federal customers include: U.S. Army Research Labs, U.S. Army Yuma Proving Grounds, U.S. Army Fort Irwin, U.S. Army Fort Stewart, U.S. Air Force Eglin AFB, U.S. Air Force Wright Patterson AFB, U.S. Air Force Hunter Air Field, Joint Forces Command, SOCOM, Supreme Court, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Holocaust Memorial Museum, Department of Labor, U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Pillar Launches NASA’s Consolidated Storage System
NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center is home to the nation's largest organization of scientists and engineers dedicated to sharing their knowledge of Earth, our solar system, and the Universe.
"We needed the capacity for new missions, which we anticipated will produce 5-10TB per mission each year. It's important for us to add storage as we need to without increasing management complexity. The more data we can store and make available to scientists and researchers, the better,"
-- Dr. Joe Gurman, facility scientist at the Solar Data Analysis Center at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
