Ceph is the leading unified, distributed, open-source storage software designed for powerful performance, rock-solid reliability, and infinite scalability. However, until now, Ceph also been very challenging due to the command-line nature of its administration. This makes it complex and time-consuming to administer and maintain, expensive to resource with specialist skills, and difficult to monitor workloads and performance or visualize the health and utilization of individual appliances. It also makes it challenging to collaborate with teams or to access support. SoftIron’s HyperDrive Storage Manager radically simplifies the management of all your Ceph software and storage hardware. The unique features and benefits of HyperDrive Storage Manager are made possible due to the fact that SoftIron has purpose-built both the hardware and software – a claim no other enterprise storage vendor can match – and the sole reason we can achieve such granular levels of control. Here, we demo the HyperDrive Storage Manager, which allows you to: – Automate Ceph functions with your favourite automation engines through the available libraries and APIs – Set up and configure a brand new Ceph cluster in minutes with the Auto Discovery wizard – Quickly add and configure, or remove appliances in minutes – Easily search and filter to reveal critical information relating to individual appliances – Detect, locate and visualize the precise disc and location of failed nodes |
