LizardFS and Diaway in Partnership

DIAWAY OÜ, a big-storage, and networking integrator, and LizardFS, a SDS provider, announced a partnership to integrate essential DIAWAY hardware and equipment solutions for endpoint and container workloads within LizardFS.

Under this partnership, DIAWAY tightly integrates its hardware and networking solutions for LizardFS SDS.

Many customers face unprecedented exponential data growth. Ensuring cost-efficiency and uptime for the growing data is critical.

With this joint solution, customers can deploy DIAWAY’s complete offering for various use cases with LizardFS SDS. DIAWAY’s Techonomics approach uses advanced hardware and financial analytics to help optimize, maintain, and scale workloads deployed on LizardFS.

LizardFS makes it possible to build storage solutions on multiple servers, scaling vertically and horizontally by a single drive or a single node. It allows customers to have up to EBs of data. This type of solution ensures readiness for an exponential increase in storage while using the DIAWAY storage solution. Organizations can also leverage DIAWAY-powered LizardFS file storage solution for Elasticsearch storage, genome research, geological and geophysical data, and general-purpose file storage. Using LizardFS for docker volumes is one of the container usage cases. In environments with many docker instances, the DevOps teams are struggling with consistent backups. Usually, such consistent backups require a stop (put down) docker image for all the time needed by backup software to synchronize data between current status and backup. With LizardFS, no stop operation is needed, providing a non-interruptible workflow.

DIAWAY helps LizardFS customers optimize their infrastructure CapEx and OpEx by advising them on selecting the best hardware for the task and supplying it as a complete solution. Thus, decreasing overall storage costs and removing the complexity of designing, building, supplying, and supporting the storage infrastructure.

“Demand for different storage solutions, optimal for specific tasks, is on the rise and strong,” said Aleksandr Ragel, managing partner, and co-founder, DIAWAY. “A justifiable portion of this demand may leverage LizardFS capabilities, and we are proud to integrate our signature storage hardware and design in LizardFS SDS infrastructure. This partnership ensures that LizardFS customers can benefit from proven cost-efficiency, reliability, and performance.“

“We’re excited to partner with DIAWAY to bring their proven, trusted multi-petabyte capabilities in building storage infrastructures to our customers,” said Piotr Modrzyk, product development lead, LizardFS. “Integrating DIAWAY’s solutions with LizardFS means customers now have even more tools to ensure the highest levels of performance and resilience as they evolve with existing installations or start anew.“
