What problems does WOS solve?
WOS has been designed to solve the following problems: • It eliminates the need to have multiple storage systems and multiple file systems. WOS Clouds deliver Internet-scale performance and store hundreds of billions of files in a single global object repository. Forget file systems that max out at 16TB or even at Petabytes. Forget running out of inodes. Forget about tweaking your file systems to get better performance. You’ll never have to engineer around file system limitations with WOS. • It eliminates the need to buy large storage systems up-front to plan for capacity growth. WOS Clouds can start small and grow to Internet scale over time, allowing you to dynamically add capacity as you need it, as well as where you need it. • It stores files without wasting capacity. If you tend to store lots of small files such as thumbnail photos, WOS will not over-allocate space like most file systems. You’ll never have to deal with “stranded” capacity and will always get the most out of the ca
