Case Study on Preserving Ancient History with Storage Solutions

This case study details the collaboration between Western Digital and Panaro Tech to address the storage needs of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham, which is known for its rich ancient Vedic history. The document outlines the challenges faced by the organization, including the need for a centralized storage system to manage digital records scattered across various external drives and systems. The solution implemented involved the integration of Western Digital's Ultrastar Data60 Storage Platform with Panaro Tech's Awanstor NAS server, which together provide the necessary capacity, flexibility, and performance while adhering to budget constraints. The Awanstor NAS utilizes high-speed NVMe drives for performance and HDDs for data archival, facilitating efficient data processing and security. The results demonstrate a reliable storage solution that is scalable and easy to manage, ensuring the preservation of multimedia content for future generations. This partnership exemplifies how technology can support the preservation of cultural heritage.
