BAE Systems Delivers Government-Grade Big Data Storage Solution to Commercial Customers
COLUMBIA, Md. --(Business Wire)--
BAE Systems (News - Alert) is redefining the economics of big data storage with the
launch of its TeraStarTM
system for commercial customers. The system is a data storage
solution engineered to meet the next-generation government and military
big data storage requirements while accommodating the cost and size
needs of small to medium sized businesses and cloud-based storage
providers.

"Weoriginally developed the TeraStar data storage system to fit the
government's strict cost, size, weight, and capacity requirements that
legacy commercial products were not designed to meet," said Andrew
Russette, product manager at BAE Systems. "Now we're offering this
compact and power-efficient solution to commercial businesses at a cost
per terabyte that is roughly one quarter of the industry average."
The TeraStar system's unique design enables it to store immense volumes
of data with minimal operational expense by requiring nominal physical
space and using less power than traditional big data storage systems.
The system's scalable, ultra-dense storage capacity also delivers a
competitive advantage to cloud-based storage providers by reducing the
overall cost per terabyte of storage capacity. To store the same amount
of data, other single system commercial standard offerings typically
require twice the rack space, utilize twice the power, and require more
cooling. In addition, the TeraStar system's design is compatible with a
wide variety of storage media devices enabling substantial storage
flexibility.
BAE Systems developed the TeraStar solution to accommodate the massive
amount of data produced by next-generation sensors. The company has
leveraged this internally developed solution to support sensors such as
ARGUS, the gigapixel-plus wide-area persistent surveillance sensor that
BAE Systems created for the U.S. government.

storage solution for commercial customers can be found at www.baesystems.com/terastar.
