EMC Atmos is acloud storage services platform developed byEMC Corporation. Atmos can be deployed as either a hardware appliance[1] or as software in a virtual environment.[2] The Atmos technology uses anobject storage architecture designed to manage petabytes of information and billions of objects across multiple geographic locations as a single system.[3][4]
Atmos was developed by EMC Corporation and made generally available in November 2008.[3][5]The project used the internal code name "Maui".[6]At least one of the researchers on a project called OceanStore at theUniversity of California, Berkeley had also worked on Atmos, using an architecture now known asobject storage.[7][8]A second major release in February 2010 added a "GeoProtect" distributed data protection feature, faster processors and denser hard drives.[9]
During EMC World in May 2011, EMC announced the 2.0 version of Atmos with better performance, more efficient "GeoParity" data protection and expanded access with Windows client software (Atmos GeoDrive) and an AtmosSDK with Centera/XAM and Apple iOS compatibility.[10]
Atmos can be used as data storage for custom or packaged applications using either aREST orSOAP dataAPI, or more traditional storage interfaces likeNetwork File System (NFS) andServer Message Block (SMB). It presents a single unified namespace or object-space, stores information as objects (files andmetadata), and manages information by user or administrator-defined policies.[3]
