Whether you’re starting with a small-scale proof-of-concept cluster or planning to scale up to multiple terabytes, Janus delivers the flexibility and performance needed for growth. Ceph software-defined storage drives the Janus Multi-Format Storage Cluster, offering unified block, object, and file storage on a single platform. This design supports a wide range of data storage needs, from high-growth block storage to object stores and data lakes.
Janus is built to scale, enabling seamless expansion from small-node deployments (as little as 50TB) to exascale environments. Ceph’s ability to dynamically replicate and rebalance data throughout the cluster ensures high performance and nearly limitless scalability without the need for proprietary hardware. With Janus, you can leverage modular, enterprise-grade storage that’s easy to scale and cost-effective, all while maintaining the performance required for your most demanding workloads.
Ceph is an open-source, software-defined storage platform that provides a unified storage service with object, block, and file interfaces from a single cluster built from commodity hardware components. It is a scalable, cost-effective solution to rapid and unpredictable data growth in the enterprise market, academic institutions, and beyond.
Using the advanced CRUSH algorithm, Ceph mitigates the risk of single points of failure, performance bottlenecks, and limits to scalability, creating a reliable and high-performing storage solution.
We build each of our systems to “zero defect” standards in our U.S.-based manufacturing facilities. Then we hand-inspect every order, testing them to ensure they are 100% operational and optimized to support rapid deployment. Our testing process includes a suite of automated tools that simulate real world operations (including convenience and update utilities) and stress tests to validate system functionality. As an ISO 9001 certified company, we meticulously document all hardware settings, firmware updates, and software versioning to ensure easy replication and future reference.
We offer a comprehensive 3-year warranty standard, with every system purchased. If your needs require additional coverage, we also offer extended or custom warranty options. We understand that your work—from advancing medical research and exploring space to supporting real-time data in critical applications—is mission-critical. Our goal is to keep you focused on your work without interruption, so you can continue pushing boundaries in your field.
We offer customer support at different levels, each based on a detailed service level agreement (SLA) that fits your needs. And, with each one, you get the added benefit of knowing that the people who take your call are in-house Silicon Mechanics’ staff whose sole focus is customer support. When we say “Expert Included,” we mean it.
