Data Storage Options - Cloud, On-Prem, Or Hybrid Solutions Battery manufacturing generates enormous volumes of data (up to 27TB per day per production line), with a significant portion coming from critical image data used for cell and electrode inspection. In addition, automotive customers often require 10 years of data storage from their suppliers. Managing & storing such vast amounts of data is crucial for ensuring efficient and scalable operations. Advanced industries like semiconductors have recognized the importance of Cloud, with many embracing the hybrid approach for a balance between security, scalability, and cost.

TIERED DATA STORAGE APPROACH to manage large amounts of data

Sources: “Cloud Vs. On-Premise Analyticsˮ, “What is tiered storage?ˮ, “Automotive Optocouplers—Beyond Meeting the Electrical Performance at High Temperatureˮ

To manage & store large data volumes, many companies use tiered data storage systems. This moves less critical data from high-speed Tier 1 storage to more cost-effective Tier 2 or cloud-based storage over time. This approach reduces costs, allows for efficient long-term data archiving, and ensures seamless access and re-archiving when needed for analytics or other purposes.
