SnapScale X4 Overview:
Network Attached Storage has fulfilled many of the traditional IT needs by providing affordable data retention with simple management, and compatibility across multiple platforms. With the convenience and simplicity of Network Attached Storage it is difficult to imagine a business environment today that is not utilizing NAS, however with the explosion of data and the importance of compliance and uptime; traditional scale-up NAS solutions are quickly reaching limits of capacity, redundancy and performance within dynamic IT storage environments.
The SnapScale X4 from Overland Storage is a clustered NAS solution that solves the problems of traditional storage by enabling organizations with rapid or unpredictable data growth to scale to high density capacity and performance infinitely without adding management complexity. Built on Overland Storage RAINcloud™ OS technology, SnapScale eliminates islands of storage, enabling easy and affordable scaling without having to predict capacity in advance. Offering user selectable levels of data redundancy, SnapScale writes data across multiple nodes and drives simultaneously for instant protection and high availability by ensuring no single point of failure ever exists. The SnapScale hardware architecture and “single pane of glass” management creates a consistent user experience while both managing the existing Global Namespace and scaling storage as needed, without additional layers of administration.
To deal with limited space and resources, organizations must plan for the financial, operational and technological consequences storing and protecting large amounts of unstructured data. By investing in the high density SnapScale X4 architecture up front, organizations can assure that their file serving infrastructure will grow to meet future needs painlessly and cost-effectively, regardless of how rapidly performance and capacity requirements increase over time.
