Why software-defined storage for telecommunications?
Software-defined storage allows communications service providers (CSPs) to scale across physical, virtual, and cloud resources without making changes to their hardware.
With a distributed architecture and erasure coding capabilities, it addresses the challenges associated with rapid archive growth, highly distributed users, and separate storage pools.
Red Hat® Data Services are a standards-based and open source software-defined solution, addressing CSPs needs for:
- Object storage for rich media. Red Hat Data Services give CSPs the flexibility to address their cold (archive), warm, and hot data needs. It can deploy and scale in minutes, managing storage nodes through a single user interface.
- Complete OpenStack® storage. Red Hat Data Services are fully integrated with OpenStack’s modular architecture and components, offering a single platform to support block, object, and file storage.
- Containerized storage. Red Hat Data Services give CSPs the power to orchestrate applications and storage on side-by-side containers. It secures against threats by isolating workloads and data, allowing better tracking and retrieval.
Reduce complexity. Scale confidently.
