Leil puts energy wastage on ICE
TALLINN: Specialist storage company, Leil Storage has launched its Infinite Cold Engine (ICE) system, aimed at addressing significant energy inefficiencies in traditional storage systems.
In a statement, the Estonian-based company said current technology aimed to reduce energy usage by powering down inactive drives. However, it struggled due to the lack of a distributed file system, which made it difficult to keep drives off when data needed frequent access for redundancy.
“ICE leverages SaunaFS, a robust distributed file system, allowing it to concentrate data access on a small group of drives at any time. This approach enables the majority of drives to remain powered off for extended periods, significantly cutting energy use while maintaining high performance,” the statement said.
Leil Storage targets enterprises and service providers needing long-term, high-capacity storage solutions that are both cost-effective and environmentally friendly, including industries such as healthcare and finance, as well as media companies, archives, research laboratories, and data centre providers where large volumes of data must be stored securely and accessed efficiently.
