Cloudian HyperStore Appliances and V5.0 Flash-Optimized Software

Cloudian, Inc. announced availability of  its HyperStore appliances and HyperStore 5.0 software flash-optimized, rack-ready HyperStore appliances make it easy to deploy scalable S3-compliant storage with three enterprise-focused configurations.

HyperStore appliances come integrated with HyperStore software to assure unlimited scale, multi-data center storage, automated data tiering, and support for all S3 applications.

“Cloudian customers now have the flexibility to choose to create their on-premises hybrid clouds using dedicated Cloudian appliances or by deploying HyperStore 5.0 software across their existing infrastructure,” said Paul Turner, CMO, Cloudian. “Either way, highly available, cost-effective, easy-to-use cloud storage is within easy reach for everyone at a cost of less than one cent per gigabyte per month.“

The HyperStore software, whether deployed on a user’s existing hardware or pre-installed on a HyperStore appliance, combines availability enhancements with added system management control, monitoring capabilities and reporting. A host of expanded features, including hybrid cloud streaming, virtual nodes, configurable erasure coding, and data compression and encryption help HyperStore set Cloudian apart with storage and data management that lets users store and access their data where they want it, when they want it.

“Cloudian can now credibly claim to offer the best combination of software-defined storage and integrated appliances at an attractive price point that is more than competitive with the hyper-scale public clouds,” said Simon Robinson, research VP storage, 451 Research. “While enterprise IT dcision makers are interested in the flxibility and economics that software-defined approaches promise, they also highly value the benefits of an integrated software-hardware solution, especially in terms of ease of installation, management and support.“

The HyperStore appliance (HSA) 1000 series comes in two models, both in a 1U form factor. The entry-level HSA1024 delivers 24TB of capacity and is perfect for low-throughput workloads and entry-level S3-compatible private cloud storage.

HyperStore appliance configuration for active archives:

This configuration is a suitable building block for large multimedia content libraries, medical records, data center backups and other big-content applications.

HyperStore appliance for enterprise performance:
The high-performance HSA2060 model is flash-optimized and purpose-built for high IO bandwidth requirements. With up to 60TB of capacity in 2U, it features fast network throughput and hot-pluggable drives to suit high-performance enterprise environments like media and entertainment, energy, finance and healthcare.
