Welcome to the world of The Science of Storage
.png){kind=logo}
For over 30 years the Founders of 22dot6 have designed, manufactured and delivered storage and file management technologies to major OEM's and end-user companies worldwide. Principles pioneered by our team changed the approach to storage and data management forever providing the foundation for virtually every modern storage system deployed today.Today 22dot6 is a software and hardware systems manufacture working with partners worldwide to deliver industry unique patented technologies for storage and data management. We are glad you are here and welcome to the wonderful world of the science of storage.

Anytime, Anywhere Availability
True independence and transparancy requires more than the ability to write to any target. The ability to assimilate existing data in place hot and live on any storage resource is a key capability. Zero latency concerns and the ability to access data in flight to deliver true multi-location and zero impact cloud transparency. Find out how Valence provides this and much more. Deliver storage independence and guarantee secure data transparency regardless of location.

Beyond Backup/Recovery
After 30 years we still see the concept of backup restores and rapid restore being promoted. Most systems today are still restricted to counting on "Recovery" in the event of a disaster. Valence provides multiple options to replace "Restore" with Immediate, same file Re-Acquistion and to move from "Recovery" to Prevention. Simple to implement, transparent to use and cost correct. Valence provides the tools. It's 2021 and time to upgrade to immediate access.

Kubernetes - Containers
Modern system independence should support all types of data universally, a common interface with complimentary capabilities. This is a key component of the Valence vision for data independence. Manage Kubernetes data between clusters, on-premise and cloud transparently, file and block persisten volumes on any storage. All data services are presented natively. Take a tour of how Valence simplifies persistent data management for multi-cluster Kubernetes.
Security - Permissions
Cyber Security and the concerns of ransomware is serious business. Data stored remotley presents the complexity of providing uninterupted access across disparet platforms while guaranteeing security. Bad actors are determined and snapshots have been around a long time. The tools that worked yesterday will often fail tomorrow. The key is to stay one step ahead. Valence "Follow the File" and "Next Step" security enables you to always stay one step ahead.

Analytics x 4 - Follow the File
For years we have used 3rd party tools to provide insight. Valence includes integrated analytics for "Availability", "Security", "Performance" and "File Level" information. With "Follow the File" intelligence you can monitor activity, establish objectives and policies with right now reporting on virtually any combination of file type, user, application, location, activity and metadata tags, regardless of where the asset resides. Experience global analytic independence.

Sunrise to Sunset
The pursuit of delivering on the promise of a simple to use, truly transparent, permanent digital libray has eluded us becuase of cost, complexity, and/or the lack of capabilties.
With intelligent infinite tiering and true storage resource transparency, Valence delivers on the promise based on a first file to forever, asset aware, cost correct pricing model.
The Valence "First File to Forever" model guarantees you pay the right price, for the right resource, at the right time.

Vision to Victory
The Philosophy was Simple
- Provide a foundation with capabilities the customer would expect.
- Provide the proper set of tools to empower the customer to do what they want.
- Most importantly, enable customers to decide when, where, why and how they want to do it.
Cross Technology Capable
Assimilate and unify any existing storage resource anywhere in the world hot/live seamlessly zero impact
SMB - NFS - Block - Fibre - Ethernet - RDMA cross platform, protocols, permissions & policys

Architecturally:
The industry has upgraded hardware with improved capabilities & performance, capacity & connectivity. But, in most cases and with only minor modifications the models we use today for data management, protection and accessability are basicly models we have used for twenty years.
It's time to remodel.
A View Inside Valence
- a very partial view -
Access and Configure Anyway You Choose User Definable GUI, Comprehensive CLI, Extensive API Tool Kit
Recover or Prevent
Replace disaster recovery with disaster prevention.Replace backup restores with immediate, asset-aware, "Next-in-Line"file level transparent "Constant Connect" data availability "Re-Directs"
Constant Connect
Replace active/passive single device dependent data availabilitywith a persistant, cluster capable, user defined muti-point,all ports active, same file data availability redundancy.At or below the cost of traditional dual controllers.
MaX Performance
Replace existing device to data-set performance conditionswith an objective based, telemetry aware, data defined,transcendent, multi-device, distributed performance capability.Provide hundreds of Gigabytes per second, data set transfers.
Secure Follow the File
Replace physical, device defined permissions limitationswith "Follow the File" client assigned permission flexibilities.An essential capability to simplify true transparent tiering andenable storage resource independence.
Zero Pointers / No Stubs
Replace all Symbolic links, Hyperlinks, Hard links and Soft linkswith a true zero pointer, transparent infinite tiering, meta-mappedhardware independent, data location and system aware intelligence.Another opportunity to remove the handcuffs of hardware dependency.
Cost Correct
Replace cost, complexity and management of multi-product infrastructureswith a simple "Sunrise to Sunset" architecture providing a purpose drivenasset defined "First Write to Forever" cost correct capability & pricing model.

a "TASS" software defined Transcendent Abstracted Storage System
Valence was developed based on a "TASS" defined platform to provide tools and capabilities for customers to define and decide what, when, where, why and most importantly "How" they want to manage clients, applications, data, security, availability, performance, retention, compliance and locations, on any physical device or any storage resource located anywhere in the world, at the right time, for the right reason.
