Autonomy Private Cloud Passes 50 Petabytes
Growth of World’s Largest Private Cloud Fueled by Rapid Adoption of Key Autonomy Solutions
Autonomy, an HP Company, recently announced that Autonomy’s private cloud has passed a new data processing milestone, extending its lead as the world’s largest private cloud.
The Autonomy private cloud now manages more than 50 petabytes of web content, video, email and multimedia data on 6,500 servers in 14 data centers around the world. Fifty petabytes is equal to 665 years of HD-TV video, or 1 billion four-drawer file cabinets filled with text.
The continued dramatic growth of Autonomy’s private cloud is the result of a unique approach to cloud computing. Powered by Autonomy’s Intelligent Data Operating Layer (IDOL), the private cloud automatically recognises concepts and patterns in the billions of structured and unstructured data files it ingests and indexes every day. Autonomy IDOL provides a common platform for a range of cloud-based Autonomy solutions, spanning marketing and revenue optimisation, archiving, data protection, eDiscovery, and information governance.
The Autonomy private cloud uses the HP Converged Cloud to deliver a world-class experience for its customers. A powerful testament to the value of the HP Converged Cloud, Autonomy relies on HP’s market leading portfolio to rapidly deliver a seamless, scalable and hybrid IT environment for its customers.
