Red Hat Storage

Smarter Enterprise Storage

Deploying scalable, flexible enterprise storage shouldn't lock you in to high-cost proprietary solutions. Achieve the storage performance, capacity, and availability you need to meet your most demanding enterprise storage requirements with Red Hat's scalable, software-only storage software appliances—at a fraction of the cost of most solutions.

Red Hat® Storage products are deployed to solve enterprise storage problems, including:

  • Centralized Storage-as-a-Service to enterprise applications.
  • Private clouds for enterprise-wide file sharing with a single access point across data storage locations.
  • Backup and archive for on-site or off-site data protection.
  • Nearline storage for infrequently accessed data that needs to be online.
  • Rich media (audio and video) content distribution with petabyte-scale storage and high-read performance requirements.
  • High-performance storage for bandwidth-intensive applications like weather prediction and oil and gas exploration.

Red Hat Storage Products

  • Red Hat Storage Software Appliance: A software-based scale-out network-attached storage (NAS) appliance that you can deploy in minutes for highly scalable, high-performance storage in your datacenter or on-premises private cloud.
  • Red Hat Virtual Storage Appliance: A software-only solution for scale-out NAS delivered as a virtual appliance. Deploy storage on public cloud infrastructures, like Amazon Web Services (AWS), which can be linked with your on-premises storage for flexible hybrid cloud storage.

Scale-out Storage for Private Clouds

Need flexible, scalable storage pools for your on-premises or private cloud environment? Red Hat software-only storage solutions are a cost-effective alternative to traditional storage—whether you want to build an internal service for sharing files or serving data to external organizations and users.

Features and Benefits in the Private Cloud

  • Reduce capital costs by using commodity server hardware and storage. You can easily repurpose existing equipment.
  • Scale as needed from a few terabytes to petabytes of capacity and Gbps of throughput to dynamically adjust storage as your private cloud deployment grows or your needs change.
  • Meet diverse application requirements in the cloud by deploying highly scalable storage that's ideal for mixed-workload environments, and legacy file-based applications are supported.
  • Meet diverse availability needs with support for local n-way synchronous replication and geographically remote asynchronous replication.

Scalable, Flexible File Storage for Your Public Cloud

Take advantage of the public cloud for enterprise application storage needs. Red Hat's scale-out NAS solutions can speed your move to the cloud with scalable, flexible storage.

Red Hat combines storage and compute resources in a virtualized, high-performance, centrally managed pool in public cloud infrastructures. Use Red Hat Storage to aggregate the power of large numbers of Amazon EC2 and EBS resources within AWS.

Features and Benefits in the Public Cloud

  • Integrate seamlessly with AWS-based applications. No application rewrites required.
  • Adjust storage as needed. With linear scalability, go from a few terabytes to petabytes of capacity so you can dynamically adjust storage the same way you can adjust compute nodes.
  • Meet diverse availability needs for applications with support for n-way and remote replication.
  • Rapidly move legacy applications to the cloud.
  • Ensure business continuity with failover.
  • Get high-performance file storage in the cloud.
