SAN JOSE, California, July 28, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

-- Supermicro Delivers an Optimized Software-Defined Storage Solution for Large

Scale On-Premises Management of Unstructured Data in Partnership with Leading

Software Company

Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), a global leader in enterprise computing,

storage, networking solutions, and green computing technology, announced today

a new solution leveraging the Scality(R) RING offering, enabling enterprises to

scale and protect their most valuable assets -- their data, in on-premises or

hybrid cloud deployments.

Scality RING is a software defined native file and object storage solution for

large scale on-premises storage and management of unstructured data. RING

enables both performance-optimized and capacity-optimized storage with

automated data durability levels using multiple data protection methods

including geo-distribution capabilities. The Supermicro and Scality solution

delivers a petabyte-scale storage framework offering cost-effective scaling,

performance, and resiliency paired with Supermicro's optimized hardware

configurations that provides users an appliance-like deployment and service

levels to meet enterprise requirements.

"As part of our ongoing commitment to work with leading software organizations,

Supermicro is teaming with Scality to bring a simple, scalable, and powerful

storage solution to the most demanding environments today," said Vik Malyala,

senior vice president, Supermicro. "Customers will quickly see how easy it is

to deploy the Scality RING software on Supermicro servers and storage systems.

Our reference architectures allow us to design and implement solutions based on

customer requirements from our flexible Building Block Solutions (R)

approach."  

This flexibility makes it possible to construct capacity-optimized RINGs or

performance-optimized RINGs. In all cases, the RING software abstracts the

underlying physical servers and hard disk drives. RING can exploit the

lower-latency access characteristics of NVMe to maintain its internal metadata.

RING is designed to scale out over time, across server generations, as well as

the increasing storage densities expected as a normal part of the RING platform

lifecycle

"We are thrilled to create a joint solution with Supermicro that benefits our

customers," said Wally MacDermid, vice president of strategic alliances at

Scality. "Innovative organizations looking to transform their infrastructures

for today's digital economy want solutions that are easy to deploy and maintain

while protecting their most important asset, their data. Supermicro's

highly-configurable systems with the latest storage interface technologies

combined with Scality's industry leading RING, gives customers business

agility, resiliency and efficiency to solve data storage and orchestration

challenges at petabyte-scale."
