Red Hat Teams With CommVault, HP, Intel and Supermicro

For open software-defined storage platform

Red Hat, Inc. announced its collaboration with IT providers to
deliver new capabilities for storing and managing enterprise environments with extremely
heavy data workloads.

Today Red Hat delivers a set of synergistic reference architectures
based on its open software-defined storage platform with CommVault Systems, Inc., Hewlett-Packard Development company, LP, Intel Corp. and Super Micro Computer, Inc. Customers can now deploy
a storage solution that leverages existing storage functionality while
accommodating future features.

The capabilities created by Red Hat and its partners are designed to accelerate
and simplify the implementation of backup, content clouds, big storage, and a
range of industry-specific storage solutions designed to handle massive amounts
of unstructured data.

With CommVault for
Archive and Backup
Enterprise data management solutions built on CommVault’s Simpana OnePass
feature and Red Hat Storage simplify data management and reduce backup windows
over legacy storage solutions. This combination provides a converged process
for backup, archive and reporting with an open software-defined storage
platform that enterprises can scale-out to support PBs of data and can be
deployed on on-premise hardware or in the cloud.

With HP for Big Storage
Big data is driving growth and innovation in organizations, but with it
comes the need to store and manage
data at petabyte-scale whether it is large files and objects, unstructured data,
videos and media files, or machine-generated data. HP and Red Hat have designed
a purpose-built scale-out storage solution to meet the datacenter challenges to
save space, energy, and time when deploying large data workloads. Red Hat
Storage open software-defined storage platform and the HP ProLiant SL4500
server line enable enterprises to store
and manage big data growth.

With Intel for Content Cloud Storage
Unstructured data is the fastest growing type of data in the enterprise today,
fueled to a large extent by the growth in rich media content. Content clouds
are emerging to provide a range of IT and consumer services for rich media
consumption and distribution, requiring unprecedented amounts of data to be
continually stored and managed. To meet this growing demand cost-effectively,
companies have turned to standard Xeon processor-based servers. Red Hat
and Intel have created a content cloud storage reference design using
Xeon processor-based storage servers and Red Hat’s software-defined storage
platform to speed organizations’ ability to implement content
clouds.

With Supermicro for
Industry-Specific Storage Solutions
Red Hat and Supermicro have collaborated to develop several
industry-specific solution blueprints designed to maximize the value of
enterprise storage investments. The companies have outlined unique solutions
using Red Hat Storage and Supermicro servers and storage hardware for targeted
industry segments, including telecommunications and media providers.

Scott Clinton, senior director, product management and marketing, Storage, Red
Hat, said: "As Red Hat continues to
expand its storage partner ecosystem, we are providing more choices and proven
interoperability through solution blueprints for Red Hat Storage
software-defined storage. The selection of Red Hat Storage by leading IT
providers affirms open, software based storage is a fundamental core component
to their enterprise infrastructure solutions, and we look forward to continuing
to broaden our partner ecosystem in the future.
"

Jeff Echols, senior director of product and solutions marketing, CommVault,
said: "CommVault Simpana10 sets a
new standard for data and information management that delivers a significant
leap on how companies manage data for their mobile workforce, improve
operational efficiency at scale and extract more value from their data for
better, more timely decision making. The combination of Simpana 10 and Red Hat
Storage provides a cost-effective option for scale-out storage and our joint
solution enables customers to manage storage growth more effectively based on
intelligent software and their choice of hardware.
"

Bev Crair, GM, storage division, Intel, said: "In the last year, Red Hat and Intel have collaborated to create a
reference design that addresses the massive growth in unstructured data. This
reference design helps solve customers’ data growth challenges with Intel Xeon
processor-based servers that, along with the Red Hat software, can provide the
functionality and economics that customers are demanding.
"

Wally Liaw, VP sales, international, Supermicro, said: "Supermicro teamed with Red Hat provides
customers compelling value with high performance, cost-effective compute and
storage solutions optimized to meet their exacting needs. The powerful
combination of Supermicro’s hardware engineering expertise and Red Hat’s
acclaimed software-defined storage enables a new class of highly scalable, HA
enterprise storage solutions targeted for the rapidly expanding content and
analytics dominated data landscape.
