QuantaStor 5 SDS on Bare Metal servers delivers new levels of agility to IT organizations seeking dedicated, highly-secure and hyper-scale storage across the IBM Cloud. Featuring unified file, block and object protocol support, and unique grid management technology, QuantaStor Storage Systems address a broad set of workloads including server virtualization, big data, cloud backup, media editing, deep archive, and high-performance compute applications. QuantaStor 5 is designed, integrated and certified for use with all Mass Storage Servers in IBM Cloud datacenters worldwide
Solution Integrations
QuantaStor NAS gateway systems can be configured to periodically back-up local NAS storage to IBM Cloud Object Storage as objects or cache metadata as a pure NAS pass-thru gateway to IBM Cloud Object Storage.
QuantaStor Software Defined Storage Systems are designed with high-availability and scale-out features needed for mission-critical desktop and server virtualization solutions. QuantaStor storage servers provide VMware certified NFS and iSCSI storage with advanced features including encryption, compression, and remote-replication.
Deployment
The QuantaStor Provisioning Guide provides easy-to-follow instructions for the optimal configuration and set up of your QuantaStor solutions in the IBM Cloud. The Guide includes reference configurations for each of the QuantaStor 5 on IBM Cloud Bare Metal solutions, including SAN/NAS System, Scale-out Block & Object systems and NAS Gateway systems.
