HPE GreenLake Flex Solution built Scality
RING and ARTESCA
1. Service Overview
HPE Solutions for Scality provide object storage for scalable unstructured data archives as well as a cost-effective tier behind primary storage arrays. Cloud-native applications and high-performance analytics tools are increasingly using object-based architectures and S3- compatible access protocols as their persistent storage layer. To meet this need, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Scality offer two solutions that scale easily from terabytes to petabytes on a full portfolio of customizable platforms and media types using dual-level erasure coding and cluster-in-a-box solution for remote deployments with a higher level of hardware durability.
For enterprise IT
Scality RING enables enterprises to quickly build on-premises object storage in scalable clusters, with native S3 API and file access protocols, providing flexible data protection schemas including geo-protected replicated or stretched data.
For Line of Business owners, Edge or Remote Office
Scality ARTESCA offers hybrid or all-NVMe object storage with native S3 API access protocols, in smaller starting points scaling up to multi-petabytes, with fully integrated tools for automating data replication to one or more remote systems, data centers, or storage clouds, for disaster recovery data protection.
