Netpower IT Solutions AS · Large datasets
Large datasets you can use without paying per retrieval
Large volumes of data that are expensive to keep in the cloud — archives, seismic data, measurement data — stored and operated in Norway, with no egress surprises.
Stored in Norway · A predictable price · No extra charge for your own data · Almost every protocol
Sound familiar?
Some datasets sit badly in the public cloud. If they are large and retrieved often, the cost of outbound traffic quickly runs away. If they are large and lie still, you still pay for storage priced for something else.
A good fit if you …
- Retrieve large volumes often, and pay for the traffic every time
- Hold archives that lie still but cost as though they were in daily use
- Work with specialist data such as seismic or measurement data
- Want to know where the data sits and which rules apply to it
What you get
We store and operate large datasets in our own data centre in Norway. The price is predictable, and using your own data costs nothing extra.
- Using your own data costs nothing extra — you pay for storage and operation, not for retrieving the data.
- A predictable price — also when the usage pattern swings from month to month.
- The data sits in Norway — in our own data centre, on hardware we own.
- Access on your terms — we support almost every protocol and access method.
- Storage that is actually operated — we look after it, so you need not think about the hardware.
How it works
We take in the dataset, place it on storage in our data centre and make it available the way you need it. After that, looking after it is our job.
Datasets we look after
What they share is size, not sector: datasets that are expensive to leave sitting with a cloud provider.
- Active archives used day to day
- Pure storage archives kept for the record
- Specialist data such as seismic data
- Measurement data collected over time
How you reach the data
How the data is made available is shaped around what you need. We support almost every protocol and access method.
- The access method is agreed from how you work
- Almost every protocol and access method
- No charge for retrieving your own data
- Storage that we operate, not merely keep
