Unlimited scalability for high performance

Scale without disrupting data access:

Red Hat Storage Server for On-premise is a POSIX-compatible, scale-out NAS and object storage software solution 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 Server for On-premise to deliver high performance for a wide range of workloads. And combine modules as needed depending on storage requirements and workload profile. This open extensibility lets you innovate at the pace of your business.
  • Better performance, lower cost: Red Hat Storage Server for On-premise 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 traditional proprietary storage systems

Easy to deploy and manage

  • Deploy in minutes: Red Hat Storage Server for On-premise 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 Server for On-premise is just as simple as deploying it:
  • Automate management with an advanced command-line interface or management console—a simple graphical user interface (GUI).
  • Use the included performance monitoring and analysis tools.
  • Get industry-standard client support, including NFS and CIFS for file-based access, OpenStack Swift for object access, and GlusterFS native client for highly parallelized access.
  • 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 proactive self-healing capabilities.

No Vendor Lock-in

  • 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 for business continuity. Asynchronous geo-replication ensures resilience across datacenters for disaster recovery purposes.

Flexibility

  • Red Hat Storage Server for On-premise gives you the flexibility to use any standard 2 socket rack-mount x86 server hardware listed on the Red Hat Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).

 

Red Hat Cloud/Hybrid

Red Hat® Storage Server for Public Cloud provides a fully POSIX-compatible, highly available, scale-out NAS and object storage solution for the Amazon Web Services (AWS) public cloud infrastructure. Red Hat are expecting add other cloud providers in the future.

  • Optimized for Amazon Web Services
  • Scalable
  • Highly available
  • Easy to deploy and manage
  • The only high-availability storage solution for AWS: It lets you aggregate both Elastic Block Storage (EBS) and Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances within the AWS environments, creating a highly available virtualized storage pool that can scale on demand to Gbps of throughput and petabytes of capacity.
  • No application rewrites
  • Modular, stackable design
  • More performance for your money
  • Linear performance scalability
  • Red Hat Storage Server for Public Cloud delivers petabyte capacity with linear performance scalability.
  • Independent data and hardware management
  • Elastic volume management enables storage volumes to be abstracted from the hardware so you can manage data and hardware independently:
  • Add storage while data continues to be available, with no application interruption.
  • Rebalance capacity by growing volumes across machines in the system and migrating them within the system.
  • Add storage server nodes on the fly.
  • Multitenant
  • Thin-provisioned
  • And with just a few mouse clicks you can deploy additional instances in seconds.
  • Red Hat Storage Server for Public Cloud simplifies storage management in virtualized architectures, with thousands of VMs sharing one global namespace. Plus it includes easy-to-use performance-monitoring and analysis tools.
  • Flexible deployment options

 

Hybrid

Red Hat® Storage Server for Hybrid Cloud is a software-only solution that can be deployed in both private and public clouds. It lets you deploy standardized NAS and object storage servers both on-premise and in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) public cloud.

Built-in replication for data protection

Red Hat Storage Server for Hybrid Cloud uses replication to provide high availability across the datacenter and public cloud.

  • Synchronous n-way file replication provides local data replication to support business continuity. Asynchronous replication provides long-distance data replication for disaster recovery.

Simple, cost-effective data access

  • Red Hat Storage Server for Hybrid Cloud enables files and objects to be created and extracted simultaneously by various application environments. Store as a file and instantly retrieve it as an object, and vice versa. This drastically reduces the cost for file and object storage and eliminates the need for separate storage silos.
