Red Hat Storage
Red Hat's Alternative to Costly Proprietary Storage
Paying too much for proprietary storage but worried open source, software-based storage can't match its performance? Think again.
High-performance Storage That Grows With You
Red Hat® Storage Software Appliance is a software-based, scale-out network-attached storage (NAS) appliance. Deploy it in minutes for scalable, high-performance storage in your datacenter or on-premises private cloud. Add compute, I/O, or storage as needed to meet changing capacity and performance needs—without disrupting data access.
Red Hat Storage Software Appliance combines reliable Red Hat software with x86 commodity hardware, eliminating the need for high-cost proprietary storage systems. No more lock-in. Better return on your investment. And you can deploy exactly what you need, when you need it.
Red Hat Storage Software Appliance Features and Benefits
- High availability and local recovery with synchronous n-way file replication
- Resilience across datacenters with asynchronous geo-replication
- Better performance at a fraction of the cost of monolithic storage systems, with our greater-than-petabyte capacity with linear scalability
- Thin provisioning and flexible, elastic deployment
- Simplified management of a global storage pool
- Network protocol support, including Network File System (NFS), Common Internet File System (CIFS), and native GlusterFS (similar to pNFS)
- Deployment in minutes and full POSIX compliance, requiring no application changes
- Delivered as an ISO image that you can deploy on Red Hat Storage Hardware Compatibility List (HCL)-certified servers and storage
