Concurrent Computer in Software-Defined Storage Solution

Concurrent Computer Corp. announced a software-defined storage solution designed for capacity hungry, throughput intensive applications.

The company is targeting the broader storage market with an open-source Ceph-based object storage solution that supports the more demanding performance requirements of mission-critical applications.

“Concurrent serves industries and customers that demand uncompromising performance, reliability, and flexibility,” said Derek Elder, president and CEO, Concurrent Computer. “With our core Linux and storage expertise, we have developed a no-compromise software-defined storage architecture that satisfies the mission-critical performance requirements of a wide range of markets. With several large customers already signed up to deploy our new object storage solution, we are off to a great start and we look forward to continued progress as we approach the broader market.“

With modular scaling, open hardware integration, on-the-fly capacity upgrades, and self-healing capabilities, company’s storage platform delivers the flexibility and features required to satisfy advanced applications. Support is included for the latest disk drive and solid state storage technologies to enable ultra-high density configurations and scalable storage complexes reaching exabyte capacity levels. The system includes an intuitive system dashboard and support for industry standard open interfaces such as OpenStack Swift, Amazon S3, HTTP, and FTP for easier installation, integration, and maintenance.

The object storage solution is powered by Concurrent’s open source, real-time Linux OS RedHawk. It offers advantages over standard enterprise Linux distributions, including low-latency operation, tuning capabilities, and real-time determinism for guaranteed results. RedHawk and its associated optimization tools improve application performance by unleashing the untapped potential of commercial x86-based hardware platforms.

By combining performance, simplified scaling, and resiliency features into one software platform, the company offers a solution alternative to proprietary storage solutions. The company is targeting opportunities in a diverse array of markets, including the service provider, media and entertainment, aerospace and defense, automotive, financial, healthcare, manufacturing, and energy markets.

Concurrent’s software-defined object storage solution is available and shipping to customers.
