Data management. Your data in the right place. Automatically.
Data is generated faster than it can be managed. Active data occupies expensive Performance Storage even though it has not been touched for months. Archives sit on the wrong storage layer. Data migration projects are carried out manually and take weeks. weSystems brings structure to this complexity. We build automated data paths that move your data intelligently across different storage layers, from active use on Performance Storage all the way to long-term archiving on magnetic tape. With Miria by Atempo, one of the most powerful data migration and lifecycle management solutions on the market, and at petabyte scale.
Data that does not move itself to the right place.
In many organisations, data volume grows faster than the infrastructure can handle. What was originally intended as temporary storage becomes a permanent repository. Active project data sits next to outdated archives on the same expensive NVMe storage. Nobody knows exactly what is where. And when a migration project comes along, a data center move or a consolidation, data is copied manually, which takes weeks and is error-prone.
Professional data management means: data always sits on the storage layer that matches its current relevance. Actively used data on fast Performance Storage. Older data on cost-optimised Backup Storage. Archive data on affordable magnetic tape. And all of this runs automatically according to defined rules, without manual intervention and without anyone losing the overview.
We use Miria by Atempo, software developed specifically for large file volumes and complex storage environments. Miria moves data between any storage systems, across locations, across continents, at petabyte scale and with network throughput close to the theoretical maximum.
Miria by Atempo. The software behind the data management.
Miria is not traditional backup software, nor is it a simple copy tool. It is a specialized platform for moving and managing large amounts of data in complex environments. What makes it special.
Storage-agnostic
Miria works with virtually any storage system. NAS, SAN, object storage, tape, cloud storage, high-performance file systems such as GPFS, Lustre or Isilon. Source and destination can be combined as needed.
Synchronisation and replication
Miria can synchronise and replicate data between locations, including continuously. This enables geo-redundant data storage and cross-site collaboration on large file volumes.
Intelligent data tiering
Miria automatically moves data between storage layers according to defined lifecycle policies. Data migrates from Performance Storage to Backup Storage, from there to Object Storage and finally to the magnetic tape archive, fully automatically and according to your rules.
FastScan technologie
Miria scans even very large file volumes in minimal time and identifies data by age, size, type and access time. This is the foundation for intelligent tiering decisions and fast migrations.
Data consistency and verification
Every transfer is verified. Miria checks the integrity of data after transfer and automatically retries failed transfers. No data loss, no silent data corruption.
Parallel data transfer
Miria transfers data in parallel across multiple streams, achieving throughput rates close to the physical maximum of the network. Petabyte migrations that would otherwise take months are completed in weeks.
When professional data management makes the difference.
Archiving large data volumes
When data must be retained for compliance reasons for years but is no longer actively used, Miria handles the automatic transfer to the most cost-efficient suitable storage. Without manual work, without lost data.
Cross-site data synchronisation
Multiple locations, multiple countries, multiple continents. Miria synchronises large file volumes across sites and ensures that teams everywhere work with the same current data.
AI and research data at petabyte scale
Training data for AI models, measurement data from research projects, image data from the automotive industry. Miria moves these data volumes reliably between capture locations, processing infrastructure and long-term archive.
Data migration during data center moves
Changing data centers, consolidating hardware, cloud migration. Miria moves petabytes reliably and quickly from A to B, with integrity verification, parallel transfer and minimal impact on ongoing operations.
Consolidation of heterogeneous storage landscapes
Grown storage infrastructures with different vendors, protocols and storage technologies can be consolidated with Miria. Data is migrated from legacy systems to modern infrastructure, controlled and verified.
Automated storage lifecycle
Active data on Performance Storage, older data on Backup Storage, archive data on magnetic tape. We build the lifecycle according to your retention rules and let it run fully automatically. No manual moving, no wasted expensive storage.
How weSystems manages 40 petabytes of autonomous vehicle data.
A leading European automotive manufacturer generates around 2 petabytes of new data from autonomous vehicle development every month. This data must be captured, buffered, processed and archived for 10 to 12 years. Across two continents.
weSystems built a fully automated data pipeline together with Miria by Atempo. Data is buffered locally at capture locations, consolidated via a high-speed cache in Berlin and automatically transferred from there to the Azure Cold Archive. Miria orchestrates the entire process with network throughput close to the theoretical maximum. Today, 40 petabytes are already archived.
With Miria we were able to build a data pipeline that runs almost maintenance-free in live operations. The software moves petabytes reliably and quickly, and we achieve transfer rates that we barely thought possible at the start.
Stephan Bienek, Head of Hosting, weSystems
We have not just implemented Miria. We have mastered it.
There are many IT providers who sell Miria by Atempo. What sets us apart: we have used the software in one of the most complex data migration projects in Europe. 40 petabytes, two continents, 2 petabytes of new data every month, 10 to 12 years of retention. That is not a reference from a glossy brochure, it is lived practice.
We bring this knowledge to every data management project, whether it involves 10 terabytes or 10 petabytes. We know the capabilities of the software, its limits and the configurations that genuinely work in real production environments.
And because we also operate the storage infrastructure ourselves, Performance Storage, Backup Storage, Archive Storage and S3 Object Storage, we can deliver the entire data path from a single source. No coordination overhead between different providers, no accountability gap when something is not right.

Frequently asked questions
What is data management for businesses?
Professional data management ensures that business data always sits on the storage layer that matches its current relevance and compliance requirements. weSystems fully automates this process, from active use on Performance Storage through to long-term archiving on magnetic tape.
What is Miria by Atempo?
Miria is specialised software for data migration, data synchronisation and automated data tiering in large and complex storage environments. It supports virtually all storage systems, transfers data in parallel with maximum network throughput and verifies every transfer for integrity.
What data volumes can be moved with Miria?
Miria is designed for use at petabyte scale. weSystems has already archived 40 petabytes of vehicle data for a European automotive manufacturer using Miria, with 2 petabytes of new data arriving every month.
What is automated data tiering?
Data tiering refers to the automatic movement of data between different storage layers according to defined rules. Active data sits on fast, expensive storage.
