SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Maxta, a
leading provider of hyper-converged storage solutions, today
announced the MaxDeploy ™ Reference Architecture built on Intel®
Server Boards and Systems that uses Maxta MxSP software-defined
storage to maximize the promise of hyper-convergence.
MaxDeploy delivers a new and flexible way of deploying
hyper-converged solutions for the virtual data-center. MaxDeploy
pre-defines and validates solutions running on popular server
platforms to remove interoperability and performance guesswork,
along with the need for proprietary hardware in hyper-converged
solutions.Best-in-class technology for both compute and storage on
Intel x86 servers provides simplification of management and
significant cost savings for applications running on virtual
machines.
The MaxDeploy Reference Architecture built on Intel Server
Boards and Systems and Maxta MxSP software running in a virtualized
environment, offers a variety of business benefits to partners and
customers. The repeatable and standard deployment model mitigates
the risk of hardware or software compatibility issues, while
simplifying and shortening deployment time and training. The
reference architecture serves as a starting point for a variety of
hardware and software configurations to meet end user application
workloads. It delivers the flexibility to choose industry standard
server vendor(s), storage media type and capacity, and network
switches based on end user specific needs.
Intel SSDs are also configured as part of this solution to
demonstrate the interoperability of Maxta's software-defined
storage with Intel SATA SSDs and traditional hard disk drives. By
leveraging MaxDeploy with Intel Server Boards and Systems,
enterprises now have the flexibility to scale their environment
on-demand without over provisioning resources.
Maxta maximizes the promise of Hyper-convergence
Maxta maximizes the promise of hyper-convergence for customers.
It fills a key market gap in a segment that is expected to grow
very rapidly by enabling a very cost effective hyper-converged
infrastructure solution running on any standard x86 server, using
any hypervisor, while still delivering all the enterprise class
data services (snapshots, clones, replication) and capacity
optimization (thin provisioning, inline compression and inline
de-duplication) that users would typically get in a NAS or SAN
storage array. The addition of MaxDeploy reference architecture
takes Maxta's solution one step further in delivering on the full
promise of hyper-convergence by providing companies with
pre-validated configurations, performance and peace of mind.
MaxDeploy pre-validations include testing with server-side flash
technology and magnetic disk drives to support a wide spectrum of
cost / performance options. Maxta's VM-centric solution
greatly simplifies IT management and greatly reduces storage
administration by enabling customers to manage VMs and not
storage.
Maxta will show its MaxDeploy converged infrastructure solutions
at VMworld in San
Francisco on August 24 – 27,
2014. Visit Maxta at Booth #305 to see demos of the MaxDeploy
reference architecture.
