Description

Develop a hybrid storage solution that seamlessly integrates with your current network-attached storage (NAS) and Azure Blob Storage. This on-premises caching appliance enhances data accessibility whether it resides in your datacenter, within Azure, or traversing a wide-area network (WAN). Comprising both software and hardware, the Microsoft Azure FXT Edge Filer offers exceptional throughput and minimal latency, designed specifically for hybrid storage environments that cater to high-performance computing (HPC) applications. Utilizing a scale-out clustering approach, it enables non-disruptive performance scaling of NAS capabilities. You can connect up to 24 FXT nodes in each cluster, allowing for an impressive expansion to millions of IOPS and several hundred GB/s speeds. When performance and scalability are critical for file-based tasks, Azure FXT Edge Filer ensures that your data remains on the quickest route to processing units. Additionally, managing your data storage becomes straightforward with Azure FXT Edge Filer, enabling you to transfer legacy data to Azure Blob Storage for easy access with minimal latency. This solution allows for a balanced approach between on-premises and cloud storage, ensuring optimal efficiency in data management while adapting to evolving business needs. Furthermore, this hybrid model supports organizations in maximizing their existing infrastructure investments while leveraging the benefits of cloud technology.

Description

Maxta's Hyperconvergence software empowers IT departments to select their own servers and hypervisors, allowing for independent scaling of storage and the ability to run diverse workloads on a single cluster. Unlike traditional hyperconverged appliances, Maxta eliminates vendor lock-in, as well as refresh and upgrade taxes, providing flexibility to utilize existing servers, purchase pre-configured options, or a mix of both. While appliances may carry concealed expenses, Maxta ensures that you never have to pay for software again when updating your hardware. Many storage and hyperconverged solutions are restricted to managing policies at the LUN, volume, or cluster level, whereas Maxta enables simultaneous operation of multiple applications on the same cluster without compromising on either performance or availability. In contrast to appliance-based solutions that require you to buy new software licenses upon hardware refresh or that expand storage only through additional appliances, Maxta allows you to retain ownership of your software indefinitely and expand storage effortlessly by adding drives to your existing servers. This not only enhances cost-efficiency but also streamlines resource management in your IT environment.
