OSNEXUS: Simplified Scale-out SDS for Block, File, and Object
OSNEXUS QuantaStor is an SDS solution that allows organizations to turn commodity hardware into a globally scalable, software-defined storage solution with block, file, and object protocol access. OSNEXUS leverages the scale-out capabilities of proven open source solutions from Ceph, GlusterFS, and ZFS in conjunction with its own proprietary storage hardware virtualization capabilities. This enables OSNEXUS to offer organizations storage deployment flexibility from the open source technologies, while also removing many of the complexities related to configuration, management, and growth. And because QuantaStor supports simultaneous deployments of high-performance file, block, and object storage via Ceph, GlusterFS, and ZFS, organizations gain agility to dynamically allocate storage resources to applications with different storage requirements whenever they are needed.
