Red Hat® Storage solves enterprise storage problems by meeting your need for:
- Rich media content distribution with petabyte-scale storage and high-read performance requirements.
- Nearline storage for infrequently accessed data that needs to be online.
- Back-up target and archive for on-site or off-site data protection.
- High-performance storage for bandwidth-intensive applications, like weather modeling.
Your enterprise data problems are big. But Red Hat Storage solutions are bigger. See how in these 3 use cases.
The Problem
In media-intensive industries, building and running 100TB+ media storage systems based on traditional NAS and SAN technologies is expensive and complex. And the extreme performance demands of multimedia applications require consistent access times and low latency to ensure a high-quality end-user experience.
The SOLUTION
With its low costs, extreme scalability, and consistent performance, Red Hat Storage has quickly become the storage system of choice for leading media organizations and others whose businesses depend on efficiently collecting, storing, managing, and delivering multimedia content.
The Problem
Data retention regulations are exacerbating today's enterprise data explosion, consuming roughly 20% of IT budgets. In addition, users now expect "Google-like" access to data. But traditional systems' closed-off storage pools force users to remember where data lives and force administrators to manage complex multiple parallel systems.
The SOLUTION
Red Hat Storage complements or replaces your costly, monolithic storage array. It has the unique ability to drive down costs while delivering exceptional scalability. And it's compatible with most existing systems, with a history of successful deployments in tiered storage scenarios, including active nearline and deep archival use cases.
The Problem
Aggressive virtualization deployments are causing a virtual machine (VM) image sprawl that consumes significant and expensive storage space on storage area networks (SANs). In addition to the cost of building SAN infrastructures, organizations are paying a premium for specialized expertise to manage the complex SAN infrastructures.
The SOLUTION
Red Hat saw a clear need for more efficient, cost-effective storage. So we created a virtual infrastructure storage solution that integrates Red Hat Storage and server virtualization. It's an industry first, and is an open source, software-only, fabric-based approach to converging virtualization and storage.
