What’s New

Support for RING8 XDM and Scality Zenko, for hybrid cloud data management:

• Enabled stand-alone with Zenko (RING not required)

Apollo 4000 Servers and is designed for multi-application environments needing to store unstructured data, at petabyte scale. HPE and Scality RING, Enterprises and Service Providers building cloud storage solutions can create costa nearly unlimited number of items in a single name-space, instead of the data silos creates by legacy storage appliances.

Scality RING Scalable Storage employs both replication and erasure coding, across single or multiple sites, achieve up to 14 nines (9s) of data durability with higher storage efficiency, requiring less raw storage and therefore less cost comparable solutions. Scality RING supports object (S3/REST) and file (NFS/SMB and custom applications. upgrades, and hardware upgrades, enabling customers to take advantage of future innovations in the HPE Apollo 4000 including performance, capacity, components, and architecture.

HPE offers this solution on the HPE Apollo 4000 storage systems which are specifically optimized for storage-centric workloads Customers may purchase the software separately from the hardware or may select a bundled product combining
