CyberStore storage servers are used by everyone, from small businesses to the largest organisations in the world.
The uses of the CyberStore range are almost infinite, from the BBC archiving the programmes we grew up watching, to CERN using them to store big data collected researching how our universe was created.
In today's world, storage appliances are used in almost every aspect of our lives across all market sectors and industries. The flexibility and configurability of Broadberry CyberStore storage servers make them very popular in a wide range of markets.
The education sector is a very popular user of CyberStore appliances due to it's competitive pricing compared to Dell and HP and data deduplication feature that compresses data by up to 70%. We supply our storage solutions to all 10 out of the top 10 universities in the UK including Oxford and Cambridge as well as many colleges and schools.
Another big market for the Broadberry CyberStore® range is IP Surveillance, with storage requirement rapidly growing as HD cameras become the norm, the CyberStore DSS' renowned reliability, fast performance and high availability make it the perfect solution to store this data securely and cost-effectively.
FeaturesWindows Storage Server 2012 offers a number of greatly enhanced capabilities and benefits when compared with previous versions.
iSCSI (SAN) Active-Active Failover boosts overall system performance and minimises downtime since the read, write and replication traffic is balanced over two nodes.
Open-E DSS storage software is widely recognised and awarded by the storage industry. There are over 27,000 installations worldwide among which there are many Fortune 500 companies.

Features & BenefitsExplore the features and benefits of the CyberStore DSS Range
As soon as the CyberStore DSS storage server starts, the Setup Wizard helps you with all the network and system settings - you get up fast, with built-in help, and can see immediate results
Tasks can be automatically scheduled for data, volume replication and snapshots - making it easy to setup, so you can concentrate on other tasks
The automated update and rollback makes it easy to update and get the latest features and is also simple to rollback if there is an issue that needs to be resolved first - reducing system downtime
the CyberStore DSS range will automatically notifies the system administrator via e-mail when there are RAID or HDD problems, making it easy to troubleshoot and quickly fix problems
The CyberStore DSS range is built on Open-E storage management software which runs on a Linux Platform because of its proven stability, unlike others which are less stable or which have limited and diminishing support for new hardware
The system tracks and logs changes prior to affecting the main file system, making the file system more reliable
Provides continuous backup/replication of data - far superior to 24 hour snapshot backups (lose approx. 17 e-mails in between backups, versus up to 10,000 on an Exchange e-mail system) - also much quicker to restore (20 minutes vs. 3-5 hour tape backup). If available, usually an expensive option for other storage solutions
The Broadberry CyberStore DSS range can recognise hardware/software failure and immediately re-starts the application on another system without requiring admin intervention or downtime which further reduces downtime at no extra cost
