• Data Integrations
  • Link your storage systems (disk, tape, object storage) with compute environments and analytics pipelines.
  • Design automatic data movement rules (e.g., replicate from research storage to analytics cluster).
  • Ensure no data is trapped in one system — portability is built in.
• IoT & Device Integrations
  • Securely connect IoT devices and sensors into your backend.
  • Real-time data ingestion pipelines that guarantee persistence and monitoring.
  • From lab equipment to industrial sensors, anything can be connected to your infrastructure.
