Red Hat Accelerates Software-Defined Storage Adoption with Red Hat Storage One
Open source turnkey solution is automated by Ansible and jointly
engineered with server vendors
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source
solutions, today announced the general availability of Red Hat Storage
One, a new approach to web-scale enterprise storage aimed at providing
customers the convenience of hardware-optimized systems while preserving
the flexibility and scale of software-defined
storage.
Red Hat Storage One is designed to provide more of a plug-and-play
approach to the procurement, deployment, and performance tuning of
software-defined storage, ushering in a new wave of enterprise storage
to meet the varying demands of modern workloads. Red Hat Storage One is
a platform of pre-engineered systems, created in close collaboration
with Red Hat’s server hardware partners, that delivers tightly packaged
workload-optimized storage solutions. The fulfillment and support is
offered via Red Hat’s hardware partner ecosystem. Supermicro is the
first Red Hat server partner offering a single part number for software,
hardware, and support of the solution.
With rapidly increasing data volumes, many organizations are facing
pressure to modernize traditional systems. As a result, many enterprises
now want the benefits of software-defined storage without investing in
the deep skill sets that may be required to configure and tune the
systems.
Unlike many proprietary, monolithic storage systems that are labeled
software-defined storage only in name, Red Hat Storage One offers an
open, flexible, and modular solution that can easily be extended to meet
the evolving needs of the modern enterprise. Red Hat Storage One can
help customers get the flexibility of software-defined storage and the
convenience of storage appliances, with features including:
- Ease of installation – The highly simplified and repeatable
deployment process, thanks to a Red Hat Ansible Automation-based quick
install tool, combined with available pre-configured workloads for
media content repositories and general purpose NAS, can enable
organizations to implement Red Hat Storage One quickly and efficiently.
- Workload and hardware optimization –The software-defined
storage and underlying hardware are pre-optimized for performance and
throughput characteristics of the specific workload addressed by each
solution.
- Flexible scalability – Red Hat Storage One will be available in
configurations ranging from four to 24 nodes, and is able to
accommodate rapid growth via rolling upgrades as the needs of the
storage system evolve.
- Cost-effective – Red Hat Storage One has an all-in-one pricing
model that includes advanced storage services for a more
comprehensive, scale-out solution.
Red Hat Storage One is built on the Red Hat Storage portfolio, designed
to offer durable, elastic storage, adapted to a variety of complex
workloads, and trusted by customers with some of the most demanding
storage deployments across geographies and industry verticals.
