Super Micro Computer, Inc. (SMCI), a global pioneer in enterprise computing, storage, networking solutions, and green computing technology, announced a new solution leveraging the Scality® RING offering, enabling enterprises to scale and protect their most valuable assets their data, in on-premises or hybrid cloud deployments.

File and object storage solution

Supermicro and Scality solutions deliver a petabyte-scale storage framework and offer cost-effective scaling

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-optimised and capacity-optimised storage with automated data durability levels using multiple data protection methods including geo-distribution capabilities.

The Supermicro and Scality solution deliver a petabyte-scale storage framework offering cost-effective scaling, performance, and resiliency paired with Supermicro's optimised hardware configurations that provide users an appliance-like deployment and service levels to meet enterprise requirements.

Simple, scalable, and powerful storage solution

"As part of our ongoing commitment to work with leading software organisations, 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, of 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® approach.

RING software

RING is designed to scale out over time, across server generations, as well as the increasing storage densities

This flexibility makes it possible to construct capacity-optimised RINGs or performance-optimised 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.

Data storage solution

"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 organisations 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, give customers business agility, resiliency, and efficiency to solve data storage and orchestration challenges at petabyte-scale."
