Object Storage from core to cloud to edge
HPE Solutions for Scality empowers IT infrastructure, application and DevOps teams to address established and emerging workloads alike, from the core data centre out to the edge and across multiple clouds.
HPE Solutions for Scality
Ideal for today’s archives, content repositories and data lakes, plus tomorrow’s cloud-native, AI/ML and analytics, and in-memory apps. HPE object-based storage solutions for Scality’s adaptive enterprise data management combine with hybrid cloud-ready S3 API-compatible object stores and native file services flexibility. And HPE GreenLake for Storage brings the convenience of a cloud service to wherever your apps and data live.
Be empowered for what comes next with object storage
IT culture and how IT administration teams manage underlying data infrastructures are fundamentally transforming: through the emergence of cloud-native applications, there is a need for unified data access – no matter where it lives – and a shift to service-centric delivery.
Put object stores at the edge
Until now, fully utilising object storage at the edge was hindered by an inability to easily manage data from edge to core and cloud, as well as a lack of enterprise-grade capabilities.
Get objects fast without compromise
For years, object storage has been a solution best suited for secondary workloads. However, the object storage of old is no longer sufficient in the cloud-native era. A new approach is needed.
Scality ARTESCA features built-in federated data management that allows you to manage data no matter where it lives, across public and private clouds, orchestrate workflows and search metadata. This gives applications and users the ability to easily find data and move data from edge to core/core to edge or on-premises to public cloud.
Scality ARTESCA powers an app-centric, cloud-native modern world by supporting multiple Kubernetes distributions and bare metal servers from core to edge and cloud.
Scality ARTESCA implements dual-layer erasure coding for the highest levels of data durability – regardless of implementation size – from a single server to petabyte scale. This gives your applications 10x more data protection than previous schemes, without adding overhead.
Scality RING gives you native NFS/SMB/POSIX file access, layered on top of an underlying object store, so that it inherits the performance, scalability and flexibility attributes for which Scality is renowned.
HPE Solutions for Scality are forged from the HPE portfolio of intelligent data storage servers. This includes the high-performance, all-NVMe ProLiant DL325 Gen10 Plus Server, bulk-capacity all-flash and performance hybrid flash Apollo 4200 Gen10 Server and bulk-capacity hybrid flash Apollo 4510 Gen10 System.
Density and workload-optimised for the full spectrum of object storage workloads and with configurations starting from just a single node, HPE Solutions for Scality offer the right balance of capacity, performance and security for modern applications.
Object Storage Workloads
If you’re deploying or repatriating workloads on-premises or at a colocation facility, but still want the speed, agility and scalability of a cloud operating model, HPE GreenLake for Scality provides a cloud experience with lower risks and costs and more control and insight for data at any scale, no matter where it lives.
Fighting cancer one person at a time
The University Hospital Basel is one of the leading medical centres in Switzerland, with high, internationally recognised standards. The doctors and nurses there ensure the well-being, safety and recovery of patients around the clock based on the latest scientific findings and the most modern medical equipment. The University Hospital wants to provide doctors and researchers with ready access to historical and current data to aid diagnoses and the development of new medical treatments.
Challenge
Managing a variety of different storage and archival systems based on each type of data and the application generating it, such as computer tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) Finding the required information and then retrieving it from the respective system was difficult and time-consuming, slowing researchers and hampering doctors in diagnosing complex cases.
Solution
Build a universal medical archive, leveraging Scality RING and HPE Apollo 4000 systems to preserve and secure all types of data indefinitely.
“I look for technology that takes away problems and provides flexibility to adapt when our customers within the University Hospital come to us with new demands. HPE and Scality have taken the problem of archiving data away from me; they’ve eliminated that worry. And anything that I don’t have to worry about is a good thing.”
Result
- Simplifies accessing clinical and patient data that are vital to research
- Enables greater medical collaboration across organisations
- Scales easily to support growing volumes of Big Data
