HPE Solutions with Scality are scale-out software-defined object storage solutions which may be deployed on HPE Alletra Storage Server 4000, HPE Apollo 4000 Systems, and HPE ProLiant DL Servers, with customizable capacity and media options, making it easy to deploy object storage with a range of performance/price points including hybrid, all-SSD, or all-NVMe flash.
Overview
With a native S3 API and built-in tools for multi-cloud federated data management, enterprise line of business owners, IT Storage admins, and Service Providers can quickly build cloud storage solutions hosting a nearly unlimited number of items in a single namespace, deployable both inside and outside of data centers, in new performance-optimized and small-footprint form factors. The HPE Solutions with Scality offer two products – Scality RING for multi-application environments needing to store unstructured data at petabyte scale, and Scality ARTESCA designed for cloud-native applications needing S3-compatible persistent storage with automated deployment via Kubernetes.
Scality RING employs both replication and distributed erasure coding, across single or multiple sites, allowing customers to achieve up to 14 nines (9s) of data durability with higher storage efficiency, requiring less raw storage and therefore less cost than comparable solutions. Scality RING supports object (S3/REST) and file (NFS/SMB) protocols, easily integrating into many standard and custom applications. The software enables continuous availability through hardware failures, capacity expansions, software upgrades, and hardware upgrades, enabling customers to take advantage of future innovations in the HPE Alletra Storage Server 4000 family including performance, capacity, components, and architecture.
Scality ARTESCA is a lightweight cloud-native object storage solution with an enterprise-class S3 API. Scality ARTESCA uses a dual-layer erasure coding (EC) schema that operates both across the cluster fabric and simultaneously within each server node providing more granular scaling and a significantly higher level of data durability without increasing overhead. The ARTESCA solution provides an easy entry point starting with as little as a single server node, making it possible to build production-ready object storage solutions for remote, field, or edge deployment – any time a full data center’s infrastructure and support is not available. Even a single-node solution is fully-featured and erasure coded so you can seamlessly scale without interruption. And with the built-in Scality tools for federated data management, you can easily copy, move, archive, or expire data from one Scality object storage system to any number of clouds or S3 storage targets, plus easily search for keywords in customized metadata.
HPE offers these two solutions on a variety of industry-standard server platforms including the HPE Alletra Storage Server 4000 family of systems which are specifically optimized for storage-centric workloads, and selected HPE Apollo 4000 and HPE ProLiant DL servers for additional footprint capacity choices.

Standard Features
Scality RING
An HPE Scality RING solution consists of HPE server systems, Scality RING software license and maintenance, and Scality installation services. Scality RING software licensing is based on unique usable data. Up to five data replicas can be made without a purchase of more licensing which provides significant savings when storing copies of data. All Scality RING configurations start with a minimum of 200 TB of licensed usable capacity. Hardware and software are sold separately, and HPE solutions can be precisely customized for specific workloads. Total raw capacity will vary depending on the desired level of server and site fault protection. Consult with your HPE or Scality architect to determine how much raw capacity you need for your solution.
Single and Geo-site deployment
- Mono-site starting with clusters of 3 nodes
- Two-sites replicated with clusters of 3 or more nodes on each site (6 or more servers total)
- Two-site stretched, erasure coded across sites, with clusters of 3 or more servers per site (6 or more servers total)
- Three-site stretched, erasure coded across sites, with clusters of 2 or more servers per site (6 or more servers total)
Notes:
- A Linux OS is not included. Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Rocky Linux are supported by Scality.
- For all configurations, a virtual machine should be provided for the RING supervisor.
- A network load balancer is highly recommended for all S3 workloads.
- Stretched-site configurations increase data durability with much less overhead than full site replication.
- Stretched-site configurations require 10mSec or less round-trip latency between sites. For longer distances, use the two-site replicated configuration.
- The two-site stretched configuration requires a witness server.
Access protocols
- AWS S3 API native protocol
- NFSv3 and NFSv4 file connector with IPV6 support
- SMB 2.0/3.0 file connector with IPV6 support
- CDMI REST
- FUSE (sfused) connector, local Linux host file system access to RING storage services
- Fully parallel and POSIX compliant file system
Scality S3 API
- Supports the standard AWS S3 protocols and bucket commands plus:
- Identity Access management (IAM)
- S3 connector with KMIP for KMS and S3 Quotas
- AWS S3 object locking for WORM, certified by Cohasset Associates for SEC 17a-4(f) and FINRA 4511(c) compliance.
RING Extended Data Management (XDM)
A modular feature residing on infrastructure outside of the storage servers. No-cost management of data on multiple Scality systems or other clouds.
- Data orchestration and mobility across RINGs and other clouds with no additional licensing required
- Lifecycle policies, 1-to-many replication, transition, and expiration
- Searchable global namespace
- Supported on SE Linux
RING Email connector and Class of Service (COS) translator
An integrated RING feature enabled with purchase of a separate license, the Scality RING email connector uses Scality’s sproxyd interface to efficiently manage billions of emails with object’s unlimited scalability. Email connector can be purchased separately, or with an additional license for the Class or Service (COS) translator feature. The COS translator is designed to manage multi-site RING with fail-over capability, while meeting the service level agreements (SLAs) required by email applications.

ProLiant platforms for Scality
Notes: This is a bare metal base platform to be configured by an HPE architect for use with specific workloads. The base system includes chassis, redundant 1600W power supplies, LFF drive cages for up to (12) data drives and a rail kit. Configurable options for processors, boot drives, memory, capacity storage, and networking are ordered separately. Configure with 12 data drives and 2 metadata drives. Maximum capacity of 240 TB raw capacity with Scality solutions. Must be ordered with Scality ARTESCA software. ARTESCA includes a Linux OS, or customers may install their own Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Technical Specifications
Licensing Requirements
Scality RING and Scality ARTESCA licensing is based on unique usable capacity. Only the original data counts against this capacity. For example, a 10 MB file replicated five times within the same solution counts only as 10 MB of unique capacity. Software licensing can be selected for either a single-site (RING and ARTESCA) or geo-site (RING) configuration. There is a choice of either license and maintenance, or term-based licensing. For RING, there is an additional choice of hardware lifetime (non-transferable) and perpetual licensing.
Operating System Support
For Scality RING, Linux OS is not included. Customers may install their own Red Hat Enterprise Linux or Rocky Linux, or may purchase Red Hat Enterprise Linux with OS factory installation from HPE.
Scality RING OS requirements
- Rocky Linux 9 on x86_64
- Red Hat RHEL 7 on x86_64
For ARTESCA, the software includes a supported Linux OS
Additional infrastructure for RING environments
- A networking load balancer is recommended when using the S3 API interface
- A virtual machine or physical system must be provided for the RING supervisor
Hardware Requirements
Scality RING has been tested and validated on select HPE servers listed in the configuration section.
- A single site configuration requires a minimum of 3 servers and may be replicated to a second site
- A 2-site stretched configuration requires a minimum of 6 servers (3 per site)
- A 3-site stretched configuration requires a minimum of 6 servers (2 per site)
Scality ARTESCA has been tested and validated on select HPE servers listed in the configuration section.
- A singlesite configuration requires a minimum of 1 Virtual Machine, 1 server, or a minimum cluster of 3 physical servers
For all physical server configurations, each server must have a minimum of 10 data drives (RING) or 12 data drives (ARTESCA) and 1 or more metadata drives unless otherwise noted. All Scality products are expanded by adding capacity to each server in the cluster, or by adding whole servers to the cluster. Metadata is sized by workload requirements. See your HPE sales representative for flexible expansion guidelines for single- and geo-site clusters.
