Observer (Komprise Observer)
The Komprise Observer is a virtual appliance running at the customer site that analyzes data across NAS silos, moves and replicates data by data management policy, and provides transparent file access to data that’s stored in the cloud.
Komprise handles any scale of data using an elastic scale-out architecture that has no central bottlenecks. Start with a Komprise Observer virtual machine and simply scale by adding more. Komprise automatically load balances and creates fault-tolerance across the elastic grid. There are no central databases or bottlenecks to limit scalability. Komprise scales to handle billions of files and tens of petabytes of data with a lightweight distributed architecture. There is no single point of failure. Komprise uses fault-tolerant architecture principles to create a resilient grid with Observer virtual instances that provide failover to one another in an active-active configuration without requiring any dedicated infrastructure.
