With a number of storage solutions to choose from, this guide will show you why CloudByte ElastiStor reigns over its competitors.

  • You will never pay for more storage than necessary- Now you will be able to design your storage based on the expected peak value for IOPS so you will never overprovision again.
  • The noisy neighbor issue is solved with guaranteed QoS- Apply the QoS policy to your storage workload by choosing a lower limit and an upper limit for your IOPS, bandwidth, and latency. This prevents one customer’s workload from impacting other customers, thus resolving the noisy neighbor issue.
  • CloudByte provides multi-tenant storage- The multi-tenant storage system can create virtual storage controllers the same way a hypervisor can divide host compute resources through VMs.
  • Your data is highly available- CloudByte gives you ≤4 Node Cluster High Availability and auto-healing against sector corruption.
  • Datacenter footprint is reduced- With compression and de-duplication, there is less data footprint and more space availability.
  • ElastiStor supports disaster recovery- The disaster recovery mechanism in CloudByte helps you effectively retrieve data in necessary situations.
  • You have the ability to scale up or down IOPS and capacity- With no interruption or downtime, you can scale out to multiple PBs on the fly and view/measure the results immediately.
  • Your hardware requirements are reduced- ElastiStor OS supports protocols CIFS, NFS, iSCSI, and Fibre Channel which increases the chances of finding a compatible fit for your hardware.
  • ElastiStor supports encryption of critical data- Encryption of storage pools can be performed on the hardware or the software level.
  • Managing storage nodes is a cinch- The web-based interface is easy to use and you have total control when assigning containers in your single pane of glass console. No complex storage calculations or storage expertise is required.
