Features

  • Massively scalable, High performance, Highly-available and cost-effective storage.
  • Introduces volume snapshots.
    The snapshot feature provides a point-in-time copy of Red Hat Storage volume(s) that enables file and volume restoration. Snapshots can be taken online.
  • Monitoring using Nagios.
    The Monitoring functionality based on Nagios is packaged to work in conjunction with Red Hat Storage Console or can be set up to run in a standalone mode. You may also integrate it with your existing Nagios infrastructure or 3rd party management platforms.
  • Increased usable capacity per storage server.
    You can now attach up to 60 disk drives to each Server node, compared to 36 disks previously. With 6 TB disk drives now available, you can create a 1 PB storage pool with just 3 Red Hat Storage Servers. Each storage cluster now supports up to 128 nodes, up from 64 nodes.
  • Hadoop workload support.
    Red Hat Storage now offers a Hadoop File System plugin that enables Hadoop distributions. RHSS for Hadoop Analytics workloads include: data ingestion via NFS & FUSE, no single point of failure, POSIX compliance, co-location of data and computation, ability to run Hadoop jobs across multiple namespace using multiple Red Hat Storage volumes, and strong disaster recovery capabilities.
  • Non-disruptive upgrade from the previous version and supportability enhancements to address your data protection and storage management challenges for unstructured and big data storage.
