QuantaStor SDS allows IT administrators to set up and manage complex open source SAN/NAS and object storage technologies with only a few mouse clicks, for use cases including high-performance computing, big data, virtualisation and backup and archive.
Hammer’s capabilities combined with Dell EMC OEM’s industry-leading support will enable EMEA customers to quickly deploy, secure and maintain an enterprise-grade OSNEXUS SDS solution on Dell EMC PowerEdge R730 servers.
“With QuantaStor SDS' high-performance platform and the Dell EMC OSNEXUS OEM appliance, companies and public sector organisations can procure turn-key SDS appliances to securely and cost-effectively manage large amounts of data across their global datacentres or on-premise sites,” said Steve Umbehocker, CEO of OSNEXUS.
