Takes Aim at Inefficient Data Center Infrastructure for Hadoop Implementations With 60 Percent Reduction in Hardware Acquisition Costs and 3X Improvement in Server and Storage Utilization
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Sep 26, 2016) - STRATA+HADOOP WORLD -- DriveScale, the company that is pioneering flexible, scale-out computing for the enterprise using standard servers and commodity storage, today announced its new release of the DriveScale System. With DriveScale's 60 percent reduction in hardware acquisition costs and triple the improvement in server and storage utilization, organizations can say yes to more big data workloads. As the first solution on the market that empowers mainstream enterprises to quickly and easily adopt a scale-out infrastructure, DriveScale gives data center managers the power to dynamically modify their infrastructures, enabling administrators to provision new projects in hours versus weeks.
"DriveScale solves the common over-provisioning issues that IT administrators face, helping scale-out operators improve utilization of existing resources and become responsive to end users' needs in real time," said S.K. Vinod, Vice President of Product Management at DriveScale. "We do this by breaking the rigid relationship between compute and storage, making it possible to change the boundaries of compute clusters, assign resources on demand and eliminating hardware siloes."
Enterprises use the DriveScale System to future-proof their infrastructure, maximize data center efficiency and deliver higher service levels to their customers. DriveScale's disaggregation and recomposition technology is designed to better manage compute and storage resources by treating them as separate pools and then flexibly binding them together as required by modern applications. The advancements in the latest version of the DriveScale System improve scale-out data center infrastructure deployments in the following ways:
"Building on the customer traction of DriveScale's initial product offering, we are now delivering the industry's most advanced solution for flexible data center infrastructure, giving mainstream enterprises the path to realizing the promise of big data workloads on frameworks like Hadoop," said Vinod. "We know from real-world customer feedback that this latest version of our platform empowers organizations to custom build a data center that fits their needs and access its full potential by eliminating the many problems that arise when combining traditional rack servers and modern big data applications."
