Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.

The company is a well known name in India for providing GPS based navigation solutions.
They have service offerings and products catering to a varied range from end-consumers to
enterprises.
Challenges:
For providing reliable and accurate navigable maps in a country with varied landscape, it
becomes inherently important to keep navigational maps updated all the time. Developers at
the company continuously updated the navigable maps dataset for all India and made them
available for their consumers. The storage solution on which the company used to rely on was
a Windows 2003 Server based NAS solution that had 4TB storage configured on RAID 5, and
it could at max sustain 30 user requests at a time. As the developer strength was growing with
the company, the storage system was not able to handle the increased load as the throughput
was low. The developers who accessed the maps stored in the NAS faced delays and that
hampered their productivity. The storage system would also crumble down due to heavy traffic
demands, both from their developers as well as their subscribers. To eliminate downtime and
to have a robust storage solution, the company decided to implement a storage solution
that cou ld meet their following requirements:•
Large Storage: : They kept a future-ready vision, and thus wanted the storage
solution not just to be used for development and production maps, but for any
future database requirements such as E-Mail archive and storage.
•
High Performance and Availability: They couldn’t afford to have any downtimes
related to storage solutions, since their development and production maps are on
the same storage solution but on different volumes. They also required the solution
to support large number of users who could have a seamless access to the storage
without facing any delays or lags.
•
Scalability and Flexibility: The solution had to be scalable enough to meet the
company’s future requirements and should also provide them flexibility to use the
solution as NAS or as block-level storage.
•
Cost Effective: With requirements of flexibility and expandability, comes the
additional cost of licenses. The company wanted to opt for a cost-effective solution
to meet their requirements.
In all MapMyIndia required a solution that would be easy to own and future-proof.
Solution:
One of the requirements by the company was that the solution should support NAS as well as
Block-Level access functions in a single storage platform; therefore Tyrone Opslag FS2 Unified
Storage solution was evaluated. Since the company wanted high-availability they went in for
two identical units of Opslag FS2 with replication and failover set between the two units. So,
in case of any catastrophe if one of the storage box fails, the other box kicks in automatically,
thus the data remains available. As Opslag FS2 provided breadth of features that met the

Solution
company’s requirements it resulted in its eventual selection and implementation. Below
are some of the reasons why the company chose to go for Tyrone Opslag FS2 unified storage
solution:• With 24-bays in the storage box; the company now has option to have as many
HDDs to have a large storage capacity. Presently they have populated each of the
two boxes with 10 x 2TB HDDs giving them 20TB storage on each box. In future
they populate all 24-bays to expand the storage capacity.
• Opslag FS2 supportsmultiple protocols and technologies that results in multiple
configurations possibilities. For instance, with JBOD support they can extend the
box storage capacity with additional box expansion going up to 256 additional
HDDs. With support for InfiniBand, 10 Gig Ethernet and Fiber Channel, there is
flexibility of Interconnect options between the two or any additional Opslag FS2
boxes.
• Opslag FS2 supports high performance computing, and thus can handle higher
number of simultaneous requests from upto 100-120 users at a time. The Gigabit
ports of the storage box helps in delivering high throughput that results in
eliminating downtimes.
• Tyrone Systems came up with an offering that was disruptive to its competitors
as it offers a fixed price model and does not bounds the customer with any
additional license fees for following:
•
Storage Expansion: Unlike other solutions that offered storage solutions based
on storage capacity; and for any additional storage expansion in future require
the customer to buy additional licenses from the vendor.Whereas, Tyrone
Systems offers complete box as storage solution and user is free to use all of
the HDD bays or just one depending on his requirement or need.
•
Incremental Features: As Opslag FS2 supports input-output unification, the
user has flexibility option to choose between various interconnect technologies
like 10 Gig Ethernet, InfiniBand or FC. Users just have to pay for the hardware
upgrade for implementing any of the interconnect technology; since the
storage box has the provision to support any of these features. Users do not
have to pay any additional license fee for the sameand hence are future-ready
with no additional cost burdens.
Benefits:
The ideal mix of comprehensive features and lower cost of ownership for Tyrone Opslag FS2
has helped the company to meet all their expectations from the unified storage solution. Since
one and a half year of deployment, the company hasn’t faced any downtime due to storage
related issues.
•
Cost:
• As pricing model of Tyrone Systems is inclusive of all licenses for all the
features available within the box, the company was able to save considerable
amount when similar feature products of competitors were compared on price
front. This allows the company to have upgradable and expansion options
available to them without any cost implicationfor licenses of incremental
features.
•
Future-Proof:
• The company wanted to have a storage solution that could meet their
future requirements for storage expansion as well as for future technology
upgradation. Opslag FS2 caters to these demands and provides flexibility

for multiple configurations options through its in-built support for multiple
interconnect technology and protocols.
• The provision for block level access in Opslag FS2 Unified Storage solution
opens up possibilities for the company to use the storage box as SAN for
transactional heavy applications like email servers.
•
High Performance and Availability:
• Developers accessing the storage box now do not face any delays and their
productivity has improved compared to earlier setup.
• As the two storage boxes have been configured for failover and replication; this
has improved the infrastructure reliability by eliminating downtimes.
