Global storage technology company Supermicro has designed a complete server and storage rack solution which has been configured with Inktank Ceph – which was acquired by Red Hat in April.

The 42U rack object-based storage clusters feature end-to-end 10GbE interconnectivity across triple redundant 1U Monitor nodes and capacity balanced 3.5 HDD/SSD storage serves in 1U 12xbay, 4U 36x bay and 4U 72x bay configurations.

The solution is designed to handle extreme scale-out storage applications with maximum performance and reliability to meet SLA’s.

Supermicro said fully populated rack solutions make it easier for cloud providers to rapidly implement and scale with consistent rack-to-rack layouts, simplifying the maintenance and management of multi-petabyte storage deployments.

Supermicro’s president and CEO Charles Liang said internet and cloud expansions are generating a huge amount of unstructured data.

“…there is an urgent need for extremely scalable, manageable and cost effective storage solutions that go beyond the scope of today’s ordinary storage solutions,” Liang said.

Supermicro’s ready-to-deploy object-based storage solutions are configured, tested and delivered in 42U rack clusters with end-to-end 10GbE interconnectivity.
