Software defined container-based storage solution has arrived on OCP storage hardware platforms!

The modernization of software defined infrastructure, once thought to be only for large hyperscalers, is now moving to the enterprise at a rapid pace.  Software defined storage solutions (SDS) epitomize this movement. As data storage needs grow, the need for scalable storage architecture that is reliable and secure grows also.  SDS solutions seek to address this challenge by disaggregating the hardware from the software, thereby increasing flexibility and enabling economies of scale.

To help address this requirement in the enterprise, OCP is excited to announce that LINSTOR® SDS solution is now certified on Wiwynn’s Bryce Canyon storage server.  It is specifically designed for Kubernetes, Docker, OpenStack, OpenNebula, and OpenShift deployments.  It is an open-source storage software designed to manage devices using block storage  for large Enterprise Linux server clusters. 

Wiwynn’s Bryce Canyon is a scalable integrated storage appliance  that provides powerful storage capability. The leading SAS12G storage appliance  in the industry, featuring up to 72 hot-pluggable HDD with redundant data.  

Enterprises can benefit from using OCP Accepted™ hardware like Wiwynn’s Bryce Canyon integrated with LINSTOR for their SDS infrastructure to reduce the need for manual configuration, allow a user to scale-up and scale-out and take advantage of community based engineering through open source designs.

“We are continually looking for key enterprise software solutions that are a good fit for OCP.  Wiwynn’s Bryce Canyon together with LINSTOR provides our OCP Solution Providers with a proven SDS solution for the enterprise market.  We look forward to more collaboration with the team at LINBIT.” said Steve Helvie, VP of Channel Development for OCP.  

“LINSTOR provides the best performance / resource-consumption ratio in the industry for block-io based persistent volumes. This makes it perfectly suitable for OLTP, database, and AI workloads on NVMe storage devices. On top of it, it is Open Source with enterprise-grade support from LINBIT.” said Philipp Reisner, CEO of LINBIT.
