Product highlights:

• Supermicro X12 system support – The company is certified for use with the latest Super Micro Computer, Inc.‘ servers based on 3rd gen Ice Lake Scalable Xeon processors.

• Red Hat 8 support – The firm can be installed on RHEL 8.4 servers to help organizations standardizing on RHEL for their compute infrastructure to use QuantaStor for both scale-up and scale-out configurations.

• Smart cluster network interfaces for scale-out clusters (Ceph based) – The company’s cluster VIF management system makes load balancing scale-out storage clusters within a ‘Storage Grid easy’. The firm ensures VIFs are both highly-available and activated on the scale-out cluster nodes delivering protocol services for the selected use case (file, block, or object protocols) so user access is never interrupted.

• Automatic DR site failover – Activation of a DR site can be automated via the Remote Replication Schedule settings, simplifying DR in the event of an outage at a primary site.
