New collaborations with Supermicro and Vantrix validate the momentum
of Red Hat Storage
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
RED HAT SUMMIT 2015 - Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's
leading provider of open source solutions, today announced it has teamed
with Super
Micro Computer, Inc., (NASDAQ: SMCI), a global leader in
high-performance, high-efficiency server, storage technology and green
computing, and Vantrix,
a global provider of media optimization and delivery solutions to mobile
and video service providers, to further cultivate its thriving partner
ecosystem. With today's announcement, Red Hat continues to accelerate
the growth of its storage partner ecosystem of IT software and hardware
leaders, which includes partners such as Fujitsu,
to deliver comprehensive, proven and fully supported compute and storage
solutions for enterprises managing petabyte-scale data.
Since 2013, Supermicro has offered Red Hat Gluster Storage as part of
its software-defined storage and server product offering. Now, with the
addition of Red Hat Ceph Storage, Supermicro provides durable, scale-out
storage platforms in 1U/2U/4U and full 42U rack form factors to maximize
performance, density and capacity. Combined with Supermicro's server
management software and global support services, Red Hat Storage
customers worldwide can now access a new, comprehensive suite of
end-to-end, highly scalable infrastructure solutions that are optimized
for enterprise and cloud-scale applications to deliver maximum value and
dependability with lowest overall total cost of ownership (TCO).
Vantrix helps video service providers optimize media processing
operations and deliver high-quality media experiences at the lowest
possible cost. The alliance with Red Hat incorporates Red Hat Gluster
Storage into the Vantrix Media Platform solution to offer
high-performance data storage in enterprises deploying rich media and
archival storage workloads.
Fujitsu and Red Hat have collaborated since 2014 to deliver a
hyperscale, software-defined storage appliance that provides online data
access in the multi-petabyte range. When paired with the Fujitsu
hyperscale storage ETERNUS CD10000 system, Red Hat Ceph Storage offers
enterprises the speed and agility needed to realize the possibilities of
the next-generation hyperscale environment. The combined solution
addresses the storage needs of cost-sensitive service and cloud
providers, research and public sector organizations responsible for
maintaining large online archives, as well as media streaming and
broadcasting companies. Financial institutions that require ad hoc
access to historical data also benefit from this technology.
