About We help our customers achieve hyperscale efficiency and cost savings for their own private cloud or public cloud storage as a service offering. With our software-defined block storage solution, Lightbits, customers scale their business effortlessly, accelerate IT operations, and reduce cost – at the speed of local flash. Break the dependency between compute and storage to allocate resources independently to bring the flexibility and efficiency of the cloud on-premises. Deliver low latency and high performance while guaranteeing high availability for your distributed databases and cloud native applications such as SQL, NoSQL, and “in memory”. With the constant growth of data in the forever available data center, one of the critical challenges is that applications and services running at scale must stay stateful as they migrate around the data center in order to keep services available and efficient in the presence of constant failures.		About QuantaStor is a unified Software-Defined Storage platform designed to scale up and out to make storage management easy while reducing overall enterprise storage costs. With support for all major file, block, and object protocols including iSCSI/FC, NFS/SMB, and S3, QuantaStor storage grids may be configured to address the needs of complex workflows which span sites and datacenters. QuantaStor’s storage grid technology is a built-in federated management system which enables QuantaStor servers to be combined together to simplify management and automation via CLI and REST APIs. The layered architecture of QuantaStor provides solution engineers with unprecedented flexibility and application design options that maximizes workload performance and fault-tolerance for a wide range of storage workloads. QuantaStor includes end-to-end security coverage enabling multi-layer data protection “on the wire” and “at rest” for enterprise and cloud storage deployments.

		Pros from Real Users Pros Flexible storage solution. Supporting a majority of store output local S3, SMB, ISCIS. But fantastic per sales and support with a highly knowledgeable team to help with issues and quick resolution. A good alternative to Vmware vSAN. The unified storage grid creates a single storage platform to deploy file, block and object storage pools across multisites, simplifying management from a single web-based dashboard. Built atop a CEPH-based cluster architecture, removes the complexities of configuration while delivering a high-performance, low-latency (NVME SSD and NVMe-oF support) and highly scalable environments. Works well in multisite environments, as well as private and multi-cloud or hybrid cloud infrastructures. 20+ API integrations, including Veeam, Dropbox and Docker, increases your ROI for the storage investment with the ability to connect to all line of business apps. 1. Support File/Block/Object Storage types 2. Deploy clusters and create pool in only few steps 3. Easy to use for multi-site management 4. A variety of storage configurations with scalability 5. Quick support responses
