Industries

Sectors where a storage decision has consequences.

An always-on production estate, hundreds of edge sites, a sovereignty requirement that reaches through the whole stack. Different constraints, one platform underneath.

Seven sectors

Written for the constraint, not the vertical.

Ordered by where the work actually is.

Media, broadcast and video hosting

Keep every asset ready to create, deliver and recover.

Footage, projects and masters end up spread across separate storage islands, and every one of them has to be sized, backed up and migrated on its own schedule.

  • NFS and SMB with Fibre Channel and iSCSI
  • Unlimited immutable snapshots
  • Edge studio to 20 PiB

Telecom operators and service providers

Edge to cloud, operated as one system.

An estate that runs from many edge sites to a core data centre ends up with different storage, different policies and different failure behaviour at each layer — and no single view of any of it.

  • One policy model across sites
  • Snapshot-delta replication
  • Autonomous operation at unstaffed sites

Defence, security and law enforcement

Sovereignty is a property of the whole stack.

Sovereignty is now assessed on the whole stack, not just the data centre postcode — and much of the infrastructure market answers to owners outside Europe.

  • Swedish storage, French virtualisation
  • Open-source hypervisor, no licence lock-in
  • Named EU data locations

Oil, gas and offshore energy

Data that cannot come ashore has to be safe where it is.

Data is generated on installations with no IT staff, behind a satellite link too narrow to send it ashore, in an environment that decides what hardware is permitted to be there at all.

  • One configuration per fleet
  • No administrator on board
  • Snapshot-delta replication
  • 4U per installation

Government and public sector

Sovereignty is an engineering property, not a clause.

Public bodies must guarantee where data sits and under whose jurisdiction, on procurement cycles measured in years, for records that outlive several governments.

  • Swedish company
  • Named EU facilities
  • Zero-knowledge policy
  • 7–10 year lifecycle

Healthcare organisations

Clinical data outlives the hardware holding it.

Imaging archives grow relentlessly, the retention obligation is measured in decades, patient data cannot leak, and the capital budget was set before any of that was true.

  • Zero-downtime expansion
  • Per-data-set encryption
  • Immutable snapshots
  • EU data residency

Financial institutions

Controls that hold up in an audit and out of the way in production.

Every control must be demonstrable to a supervisor, recovery must be tested rather than assumed, and latency-sensitive systems cannot be slowed down by the controls protecting them.

  • Sub-millisecond result published
  • Immutable snapshots
  • Verified integrity
  • EU data residency

Another sector?

AiRE is deployed across cloud and hosting providers, research computing, industrial operations and retail, among others. These pages exist because those sectors have distinctive constraints worth addressing directly — not because the platform is limited to them.

Bring your sector's constraint.

Retention period, residency requirement, recovery objective, latency budget. Those determine the design far more than the industry label does.
