Storage Software Appliance

Scale without disrupting data access

Red Hat Storage Software Appliance is a POSIX-compliant, distributed file system designed for unlimited scalability. Add compute, I/O bandwidth, or storage as needed to meet changing capacity and performance needs—to greater than petabytes—without disrupting data access.

Modular, stackable design

Configure and tune Red Hat Storage Software Appliance to deliver high performance for a wide range of workloads. And combine modules as needed depending on storage requirements and workload profile.

Better performance, lower cost

Red Hat Storage Software Appliance doesn’t use a metadata server, which eliminates performance bottlenecks and ensures linear scalability. This, coupled with its large-capacity scalability, gives you better performance at a fraction of the cost of monolithic storage systems.

Deploy in minutes

Red Hat Storage Software Appliance lets you build a low-cost, thin-provisioned, multitenant, scale-out storage system that’s highly secure—in just minutes. And with a few mouse clicks you can deploy additional storage in seconds. All at a low cost.

Manage easily

Managing Red Hat Storage Software Appliance is just as simple as deploying it:

• Automate management with an advanced console manager.

• Use the included performance monitoring and analysis tools.

• Get network protocol support, including Network File System (NFS), Common Internet File System (CIFS), and native GlusterFS (similar to pNFS).

• Replicate files 2 or more times to ensure data is always available, even in the event of hardware failure.

• Restore data to the correct state following recovery with self-healing capabilities.

Freedom from proprietary storage

Instead of becoming locked in to proprietary storage systems, enjoy the significant economic benefits of using commodity hardware and deploying exactly what you need, when you need it.

Availability

Synchronous n-way file replication ensures high data availability and local recovery. Asynchronous geo-replication ensures resilience across datacenters.

Flexibility

Red Hat Storage Software Appliance gives you the flexibility to use any Red Hat Storage Hardware Compatibility List (HCL)-certified hardware platform.
