Description
KumoScale™ storage software suite implements a fast, networked block storage service based on the NVMe-oF™ (NVMe™ over Fabrics) standard. Focused on speed, scale and very low cost, KumoScale software delivers the efficiency and flexibility of a shared, clustered storage pool at the performance of NVMe flash.
KumoScale Key Features:
- Born in the cloud – Integrated with Kubernetes®, Ansible®, Graphite™ and other cloud-native infrastructure software
- Any platform – Runs on standard x86-based (including AMD-based) storage platforms
- Any network – Supports RDMA for highest network performance and TCP/IP for broadest network compatibility
- Open – Works with standards-compliant NVMe-oF initiator and NVMe drives.
- Resilient – Cross-domain volume replication for legacy applications; simple volumes for cloud-native applications
- Analytics-driven provisioning – Based on storage classes, QoS and telemetry data
Customer values/problems solved:
- Save storage CapEx with better flash capacity utilization
- Increase revenue agility by rapidly adapting stateful workloads during demand peaks
- Customize storage performance for each application based on its specific requirements
- Significantly improves query performance for OLTP and analytics databases
- Simplify procurement and maintenance by consolidating server SKUs
- Enable stateful applications to be efficiently load-balanced and elastically scaled
- Perform the same work with fewer compute nodes by blending workloads and eliminating stranded resources
- Accelerate decision making through faster ingest and analysis
