Industrial Production Solutions
Storage, quality inspection, tracking and long-term preservation of massive data in industrial production, reducing costs and increasing efficiency
Four Core Pain Points in Industrial Production
| Pain Point | Specific Scenarios/Challenges | User Requirements |
|---|---|---|
| Massive Data Storage and Scalability | Industrial production generates PB-level data from sensors and equipment, traditional storage is difficult to expand and costly. | Elastic storage capacity expansion, support dynamic growth, reduce hardware investment and maintenance costs. |
| Real-time Processing and Low Latency | Real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance scenarios require millisecond-level data read/write, traditional storage has high latency affecting decision efficiency. | High concurrent read/write capability, support real-time data analysis and edge computing, reduce response time. |
| Data Security and Compliance | Industrial data involves core process parameters, must meet GDPR, ISO 27001 regulations, prevent leakage and tampering. | End-to-end encryption, fine-grained permission control, audit logs, ensure data lifecycle compliance. |
| Multi-source Heterogeneous Data Integration | Industrial environments have multiple protocols/formats like S3, NFS, databases, scattered storage leads to complex management and low utilization. | Unified storage platform compatible with multi-protocol access, centralized data management and seamless cross-system calls. |

SSD and HDD Tiered Storage Cost Reduction
SSDs provide fast read/write speeds suitable for applications requiring high I/O performance, while HDDs are lower cost and suitable for large-capacity storage. By storing frequently accessed data on SSDs and infrequently accessed data on HDDs, costs can be reduced without sacrificing performance.
Core Advantages of Tiered Storage
- No Performance Compromise: Achieve SSD acceleration for business needs
- Cost Cut in Half: HDD usage for 70% performance data
- Automated Operations: AI predicts data lifecycle
- Elastic Scaling: On-demand expansion + comprehensive cloud access
- Risk Distribution: Media backup + data mirroring
- Green Low Carbon: Energy saving + low carbon utilization
Use SSD for performance, HDD for cost reduction, achieve "using good steel on the blade" for storage spending through intelligent tiering

| Performance | 0.1ms latency | 8~10ms latency | Hot data 0.15ms, cold data on-demand read |
| Energy Consumption (1PB/year) | 250,000 kWh | 300,000 kWh | 120,000 kWh (SSD low power + HDD sleep) |
| Capacity Expansion Cost | Full expansion required | Performance bottleneck | Tier-by-tier expansion (e.g., HDD tier only) |
| 5-year TCO (Total Cost) | $6.7M | $2M | $2.65M (60% savings vs SSD) |
| Applicable Scenarios | Real-time trading, high-frequency read/write | Archive, backup | 90% enterprise mixed workloads (database/file services) |
Cold Backup Storage Cost Reduction
Compared to traditional tape storage, Blu-ray discs have lower storage costs, especially for large-scale storage. The cost-effectiveness of Blu-ray technology makes it an ideal choice for large-scale data archiving.
Blu-ray storage devices consume far less energy during operation than hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs), meaning lower energy costs.
Core Advantages of Cold Backup Storage
- Lower Cost: Blu-ray disc cost per GB is only 15% of original hard disk solutions
- Long-term Reliability: No need for regular data migration
- Compliance Security: Military-grade encryption protection
Cold backup storage reduces low-frequency industrial data archiving costs by 60% through intelligent tiering and elastic scaling, balancing security compliance with efficient resource utilization
Cost Comparison (1PB/5 years)
| Media | Total Cost | Energy Consumption | Lifespan |
|---|---|---|---|
| Blu-ray Storage | ¥2.2M | 1,200 kWh | 50+ years |
| Tape | ¥3M | 2,800 kWh | 30 years |
| HDD Series | ¥4.93M | 6,500 kWh | 5 years |
