Sanbrick® — Quasar HA

A Portuguese Software-Defined Storage solution for highly available, scalable and sustainable data infrastructure — developed with the support of the Portuguese Recovery and Resilience Plan.

Programme: Voucher para Startups — Novos Produtos Verdes e Digitais

Co-financed by the PRR · República Portuguesa · NextGenerationEU

About the project

Sanbrick® — Quasar HA is a Portuguese Software-Defined Storage (SDS) solution designed to deliver highly available, scalable and efficient data-storage infrastructures. The solution can be deployed on new hardware or on existing customer infrastructures, allowing organisations to maximise the value of their current assets while reducing technological waste and infrastructure costs. The project was developed with a strong focus on digital transformation, sustainability and circular-economy principles.

Key features

High Availability (HA)

Advanced clustering and redundancy mechanisms designed to maximise service continuity and minimise downtime.

Centralised management

A user-friendly management interface that simplifies storage administration and infrastructure monitoring.

Scalability

Architecture designed to grow alongside customer requirements while maintaining operational simplicity.

Infrastructure reuse

Supports the reuse of existing hardware platforms, extending equipment lifecycle and reducing electronic waste.

Sustainability

Optimises resource utilisation, reduces storage footprint and contributes to lower energy consumption.

Project outcomes

The project successfully delivered and validated the Sanbrick® — Quasar HA platform, providing organisations with a modern storage solution capable of supporting on-premises, private-cloud and hybrid-cloud environments.

Contracted PRR indicator achieved: development of one digital product with a positive contribution to climate transition.

Contribution to climate transition

Sanbrick® — Quasar HA contributes positively to climate transition by promoting:

Reuse of existing server infrastructure

Reduction of electronic waste

Lower hardware acquisition requirements

Improved storage efficiency through data optimisation

Reduced physical footprint and energy consumption

Support for circular-economy principles

In particular, the platform’s storage-optimisation and data-deduplication capabilities help reduce storage requirements, contributing to a lower environmental impact across the infrastructure lifecycle.

Building sustainable storage infrastructure

Sanbrick® — Quasar HA reflects our commitment to technological innovation, infrastructure efficiency and sustainable digital transformation. The project strengthens Portugal’s technological ecosystem by providing a nationally developed storage platform capable of competing with established international solutions, while promoting sustainability and resource efficiency.
