Who Are Nexenta, Micron And Supermicro?
As A Service
What Is Modern IT?
• Hadoop, Cassandra, Splunk, Spark, Couchbase
• OpenStack, Docker
• All designed to Scale-out to thousands of nodes
• Typical default storage is local and the software manages it
The Storage Challenges Of Modern Apps
• Storage demands do not scale in unison with compute demands• storage performance and capacity should be
independent
• Redundancy is often established by making multiple replicas• expensive
• Compute should be analyzing not managing data
Modern Applications Require Modern Storage
• Open, Scale-Out Software Defined Storage
• High Performance, Storage Centric Nodes
• High Performance, Cost Effective, Flash Storage
• NexentaEdge Software
• SuperMicro Storage Nodes
• Micron Flash
