LizardFS and OpenNebula Systems in Partnership

Open source, scale-out, distributed, parallel, geo-redundant file system, LizardFS, Inc., and the cloud management vendor, OpenNebula Systems S.L., partnered up to deliver exabyte scale capabilities of OpenNebula private and public cloud.

OpenNebula Systems is the company behind the OpenNebula project, aimed at delivering a robust, enterprise-ready cloud computing platform for managing heterogeneous distributed data center infrastructures. The OpenNebula cloud management platform orchestrates a data center’s virtual infrastructure to build private, public and hybrid implementations of infrastructure as a service, providing the most simple, but feature-rich and flexible solution for the management of virtualized data centers. OpenNebula´s interoperability facilitates the evolution toward cloud implementation by leveraging existing IT assets, protecting previous investments, and avoiding vendor lock-in.

LizardFS is a solution for simplifying storage, while at the same time, delivering scalability and reliability. It is easy to deploy, and hardware agnostic. It allows users to combine disk space located on many servers into a single name space, which is visible on Unix-like and Windows systems in the same way as other file systems. It enables companies to reduce their storage downtime to zero. RTO and RPO are decreased also by securing your metadata on multiple layers via HA setup and multiple metadata loggers. It is proven in hundreds of implementations, also with hyperconverged solution Nodeweaver, officially available for both community and enterprise users.

“The plug-in that enables you to scale your OpenNebula Cloud to the petabytes and beyond was created by Carlo Dafara from Nodeweaver and is a great example of open source collaboration and contributing back. Thank you, Carlo,” said Simon Haly, CEO, LizardFS.
