RALEIGH, N.C. & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Red Hat Summit 2013
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, today announced its collaboration with leading IT providers to deliver new capabilities for storing and managing enterprise environments with extremely heavy data workloads. Today Red Hat delivers the first set of synergistic reference architectures based on its open software-defined storage platform with CommVault, HP, Intel, and Supermicro. Customers can now quickly and confidently deploy a storage solution that leverages existing storage functionality while easily accommodating future features.
The capabilities created by Red Hat and its partners are designed to accelerate and simplify the implementation of data back-up, content clouds, big data storage, and a range of industry-specific storage solutions designed to handle massive amounts of unstructured data.
Red Hat Storage with CommVault for Archive and
Back-up
Enterprise data management solutions built on
CommVault’s® Simpana® OnePass feature and Red Hat Storage simplify data
management and significantly reduce back-up 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 petabytes of data and can be
deployed on on-premise hardware or in the cloud.
Red Hat Storage with HP for Big Data Storage
Big
data is driving growth and innovation in organizations, but with it
comes the need to efficiently and cost effectively store and managed
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 efficiently and cost-effectively store and manage big
data growth.
Red Hat Storage 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 Intel® Xeon® processor-based servers. Red Hat and
Intel have created a content cloud storage reference design using Intel
Xeon processor-based storage servers and Red Hat’s software-defined
storage platform to speed organizations’ ability to rapidly implement
content clouds.
Red Hat Storage 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.
