This document introduces HyperStore's "forever live" storage solution. It aims to provide a storage platform that allows for faster innovation and upgrade cycles without downtime or data migration. The FL3000 platform is a modular, high-density storage system that separates compute and storage into interchangeable modules. This extreme modularity allows components to be replaced or upgraded with zero downtime. The design goals focus on high density to reduce data center footprint, hot-swappable components for efficiency, minimizing failure domains, and reducing power and cooling costs. The "forever live" experience provides annual new features and qualified hardware upgrades without requiring downtime or data migration by deploying once and swapping modules as needed on the modular, software-defined platform.

1. Introduction to
HyperStore ‘forever live’ Storage

2. Few Realizations
Traditional Object Storage Systems are Risky, Wasteful & Inefficient
Need a storage platform with faster innovation & upgrade cycles.
Server Appliance outages results in Data
migration, Data Rebuilds and increased risk
due to reduced protection levels
Customers & storage are not able to adapt to
faster innovation cycles (eg Faster CPUs,
Denser Disks, Cheaper RAM)
