Pillar Axiom storage system

The Pillar Axiom™ Storage System is the bedrock of the Pillar SAN/NAS Solution. It was designed from the ground up in response to the tiered nature of today's storage technology needs. Each tier has distinct applications, performance expectations, and reliability requirements.


PillarMeet the Pillar Axiom storage system

In the Pillar Axiom storage system, all tiers of data reside on a single platform, with a single management interface, under a single software license. An integrated platform means:
  • Flexible deployment and redeployment of storage to satisfy the immediate needs of your business
  • Quick, easy access to archived data
  • Simpler management needs fewer resources, reducing total cost of ownership.

A revolutionary shift in storage convergence

The modular architecture of Pillar Axiom storage system supports multi-tiered SAN and NAS in a single storage pool. System configuration is simple, controlled by flexible quality-of-service driven policies, reducing the operational expense and complexity associated with managing conventional storage products.

SAN, meet NAS. NAS, meet SAN

In the past, storage managers were forced to choose between the performance advantages of SAN technology and the cost-effectiveness of NAS. Pillar eliminates this tradeoff. It designed the Axiom system to seamlessly accommodate both SAN and NAS, giving both technologies access to the same storage pool.



Tiered Access: "High", "Medium", "Low/Archive"

Pillar has developed a unique approach to consolidating storage by enabling users to tier on a component level. The basic premise is that data located on the outside of the disk is more readily available than that on the inside of the disk due to disk I/O access methods. Pillar’s technology tiers data on each disk, placing “ Tier 1”or " High Level" data on the outside of the disk, “ Tier 2” or " Medium Level" in the middle and “ Tier 3” or " Low/Archive Level" on the inside, providing intelligent algorithms to ensure priority access to each tier. This technology will change the way users approach tiering storage. 











Tier 1 �C highest performance and availability levels for mission-critical applications
Tier 2 �C increased performance and high availability for mid-priority applications
Tier 3 �C adequate performance and availability to support business utility applications such as file sharing
