Case Study: Oregon State University accelerates research data management with Quobyte

Oregon State University manages 18PB of research data with Quobyte

Oregon State University faced the challenge of storing and processing massive datasets, including up to a petabyte of audio and image data generated monthly by its wildlife research. They needed a storage solution that was cost-effective, scalable, and easy to manage on their existing hardware, avoiding the high expenses of the public cloud. The university turned to Quobyte for its file system and storage solution to meet these needs.

By implementing Quobyte, the university achieved significant cost savings compared to cloud options and gained the ability to use standard commercial hardware. The solution provided simplified installation, management, and scaling, which freed up time for research. This enabled the Oregon State University team to efficiently support 26 departments and numerous external organizations, with Quobyte playing a key role in allowing them to focus on their critical work.
