Maxta MaxDeploy Converged Reference Architecture

Built on Intel server boards and systems

Maxta, Inc. announced the MaxDeploy Reference Architecture built on Intel Corp.‘s Server Boards and Systems that uses its MxSP software-defined storage to maximize the promise of hyper-convergence.

MaxDeploy delivers a flexible way of deploying hyper-converged solutions for the virtual data-center. It pre-defines and validates solutions running on popular server platforms to remove interoperability and performance guesswork, alog with the need for proprietary hardwae in hyper-converged solutions. Technology for both compute and storage on Intel x86 servers provides simplification of management and cost savings for applications running on VMs.

The MaxDeploy Reference Architecture built on Intel Server Boards and Systems and MxSP software running in a virtualized environment, offers business benefits to partners and customers. The repeatable and standard deployment model mitigates the risk of hardware or software compatibility issues, while simplifying and shortening deployment time and training. The architecture serves as a starting point for hardware and software configurations to meet end user application workloads. It delivers the flexibility to choose industry standard server vendor(s), storage media type and capacity, and network switches based on end user specific needs.

Intel SSDs are also configured as part of this solution to demonstrate the interoperability of Maxta’s software-defined storage with Intel SATA SSDs and traditional HDD drives. By leveraging MaxDeploy with Intel Server Boards and Systems, enterprises now have the flexibility to scale their environment on-demand without over provisioning resources.

Maxta maximizes promise of hyper-convergence
It fills a key market gap in a segment that is expected to grow rapidly by enabling a cost effective hyper-converged infrastructure solution running on any standard x86 server, using any hypervisor, while still delivering all the enterprise data services (snapshots, clones, replication) and capacity optimization (thin provisioning, inline compression and inline de-duplication) that users would typically get in a NAS or SAN storage array. The addition of MaxDeploy reference architecture takes Maxta’s solution one step further in delivering on the promise of hyper-convergence by providing companies with pre-validated configurations, performance and peace of mind. MaxDeploy pre-validations include testing with server-side flash technology and magnetic disk drives to support a spectrum of cost/performance options. Maxta’s VM-centric solution simplifies IT management and reduces storage administration by enabling customers to manage VMs and not storage.

Maxta will show its MaxDeploy converged infrastructure solutions at VMworld in San Francisco on August 24 – 27, 2014.

We have seen dramatic growth in interest for hyper-converged systems over the last year,” said Yoram Novick, CEO, Maxta. “The introduction of MaxDeploy enables Maxta to provide our customers ease of ordering, predictability and most of all, vendor choice in hyper-converged solutions. MaxDeploy running on Intel Server Systems platforms is a strong validation that customers can realize the promise of hyper-convergence on high-performance Intel server platforms.

In addition to receiving the efficiencies and cost savings of hyper-convergence, customers can now leverage MaxDeploy for pre-validated configurations and predictability of performance,” said Al Diaz, VP and GM, Intel. “We believe that MaxDeploy and Intel Server Boards and Systems provide enterprises with more options for flexibility and capacity scalability.

Maxta’s hyper-converged storage solution is an excellent fit for supporting the NCS Virtual Desktop application delivery platform for our customer base,” said Mike Turicchi, chief product strategy officer, NCS Technologies, Inc.The combined solution consisting of NexServ servers powered by Intel PCSD and the Maxta software-defined storage platform for virtualized environments, minimizes the complexity and cost for our customers, while delivering consistent and predictable performance. We look forward to a successful partnership with Maxta.
