Quobyte, technology leader in data center file systems, starting rolling out version 1.2 of its next-generation software storage system. Tried and tested in production, Quobyte presents the first fault-tolerant storage system that provides an all-in-one solution for an OpenStack infrastructure, hosting virtual machines, shared file systems and object storage in a single software-defined deployment.

“Google and Amazon raised the bar high. Their fault-tolerant horizontal software storage infrastructure is based on commodity hardware and yields unprecedented levels of agility, scale and operational cost savings. We’re excited to announce that Quobyte now allows its users to catch up with with these qualities and that it is available for deployments of all sizes,” said Felix Hupfeld, CTO at Quobyte…

The way data centers operate is changing: while budgets and headcount stay constant, the amount of data is rapidly rising and scalable operations and self-management become increasingly important tools to keep complexity and costs under control. This is the setting Quobyte has been designed for. As a general purpose software storage system that is built around a parallel file system core, it is able to both provide high-performance block and scalable file system storage. Its automation, monitoring and hardware management make it a great fit for data center deployments. Based on the latest distributed systems technology, Quobyte’s software storage guards data against all possible hardware failures. That’s great news for sysadmins: since the system is prepared to handle all sorts of failures automatically it is a lot easier to maintain…
