Product catalog summary
Overview
The document introduces the HGL Dynamics Hercules system, an automated data archive manager designed for aerospace development and testing systems. It emphasizes the need for a robust archiving system to handle vast amounts of data securely and efficiently.

Key Features
  • Infinitely expandable data storage.
  • Fully automated operation with seamless integration with HGL acquisition and analysis software.
  • Transparent storage, backup, and retrieval of mission-critical data.
  • Total data transportability, including offsite locations.
  • High performance throughout the system.

Storage Architecture
The Hercules system is based on a three-tier model:
  • Primary Storage: Utilizes a fast RAID5 system for instant access, with sizes ranging from 500 GB to over 50 TB. It supports near-instantaneous access speeds and can integrate with third-party NAS systems.
  • Secondary Storage: Supports a variety of storage devices, including tape media and robotic systems, with typical sizes from 1 to 60 TB. Access speeds range from 12 to 90 MB/sec, and the system optimizes file restoration to minimize delays.
  • Tertiary Storage: Provides offline storage for older data, typically at off-site locations. Hercules maintains a database to quickly inform operators of media locations.

Operation
Hercules functions as a file server with automated archive and restore capabilities. It includes a sophisticated database for tracking archived data and supports automated data import/export across different sites. The system offers a GUI for user access and administrator control, allowing configuration and customization of archiving and restoring priorities.

Contact Information
HGL Dynamics provides contact details for their offices in the UK, USA, and France, offering support and further information about the Hercules system.

It is infinitely expandable from simple, single tape drive systems to multiple drive, multiple robot storage systems. Mission Critical Data Hercules is fully network enabled and can be operated locally or remotely over LAN, or Transparently WAN networks.  Total Data Transportability, Hercules is based on a three-tier model, designed to provide the maximum speed and safety for data: including offsite locations Primary Storage the HGL acquisition and Each Hercules includes a fast RAID5 storage system for instant access to regularly used files. These RAID systems are available in size from 500 Gigabytes to 50+ Terabytes. Hercules can also be used with 3rd party NAS systems if required. Access to primary storage is near instantaneous (80-300 Megabytes/sec) for local users, and available to remote users through various networking solutions. Hercules uses a sophisticated caching system to ensure that the data the users require remains on the fast primary storage for as long as possible.

HERCULES-2

Dynamic Solutions For A Testing World Operation The Hercules can be connected to a wide range of storage devices, including most popular tape media types together with robotic systems for automated operation. Typical secondary storage sizes range from 1-60 Terabytes. Access to secondary storage is largely hidden from users and is controlled by the Hercules itself. Access speeds depend on the speed of the storage media being used, but typically range from 12-90 Megabytes/sec for faster tape media. When reading from secondary storage, the Hercules not only retrieves the requested files, but also...
