Scality - Unified Storage for OpenStack: One Platform to Rule them All

In the realm of data storage, OpenStack provides APIs for elastic and on-demand self-service provisioning of block, file and object storage. Using traditional storage solutions, this often leads to the independent procurement and management of several types of storage systems (SAN, NAS, object-store cluster) leading to storage silos; which is costly and inefficient.

In this session we present an overview of Scality's storage platform including its design principles and architecture, followed by a live demo featuring Openstack integration with a Scality cluster. The demo will highlight the storage services and unique failure recovery mechanisms built into the Scality RING.

Come learn about how a unified storage approach enables storage consolidation and unified management for OpenStack deployments. See how Scality provides unified storage services for OpenStack through the implementation of drivers for all four of the OpenStack project\u2019s persistent storage services: Swift, Cinder, Manila and Glance.
