Starfish Storage earns “Data Solution of the Year for Education,” recognized for empowering research institutions with metadata-driven automation, cost control, and user-level data visibility. Harvard FAS alone saves millions annually by optimizing storage across hundreds of labs.
“What data do you have? And can I access it?” Those may seem like simple questions for any data-driven enterprise. But when you have billions of files spread across petabytes of storage on a parallel file system, they actually become very difficult questions to answer.
“Oh, wow, the IT department charges us $11,000 a month for data storage. Why don’t we put some data on cheaper storage? Mark, why don’t you look into that?” the principal investigator asks the postdoc who just joined the team.
Starfish Storage, the leader in metadata-driven unstructured data management, proudly celebrates its 10-year anniversary. Coinciding with this milestone, the company also announces it now manages well over an exabyte of capacity across its client base. This includes eight of the world’s top 10 pharmaceutical firms, seven of the eight Ivy League universities, and Department of Energy supercomputing sites.
