OSNexus Accelerates Hybrid-Cloud Adoption with QuantaStor V.6.1

OSNexus Corp. announced QuantaStor 6.1 that expands the platform’s cloud integration capabilities, hardware integration, and NAS feature sets to help organizations adopt and accelerate their hybrid cloud IT initiatives.

“This release is the first of three feature releases this year and 6.1 focuses on helping our customers advance their hybrid-cloud adoption plans with auto-tiering improvements,” said Steven Umbehocker, CEO. “At the same time we’ve integrated with Seagate Corvault and Pliops hardware so that organizations can deploy and manage large scale-out clusters in the tens of petabyte at lower cost and with ultra high reliability in excess of 14x 9s of uptime.”

Highlights for QuantaStor 6.1:

• Auto-tiering capabilities – Storage-class capabilities so that local file storage can be tiered to AWS Glacier and other low cost storage tiers.
• WORM support – File level immutability (WORM) support to complement the existing immutable snapshot and snapshot hold features.
• Ceph client keyring support – This feature allows users to create client keyrings associated with specific scale-out block and file storage resources.
• Seagate Corvault external system management module – Management and monitoring of Seagate Corvault systems used within a QuantaStor storage grid.
• Pliops hardware support – Pliops XDP RAIDplus PCIe cards are now supported for improved performance and greater endurance of NVMe media.
• Replication reports – Enables tracking of all replication activity via a periodic email summary report.
