Hewlett-Packard Scality ARTESCA - Subscription licence (5 years) - 1TB

An extremely simple, lightweight yet advanced platform addressing small footprints at the edge, to scale out deployments at the core or in the cloud, with the data availability and durability enterprises expect, ARTESCA fulfills cloud-native persistence storage requirements of containerized applications businesses are developing and deploying. Organizations are challenged by the complexity and cost of the underlying data they need to harness in order to stay competitive, and the burden of managing it through its lifecycle across multiple clouds. All of this forces an inflection point in how infrastructure and data are managed. Applications need faster access to massive amounts of data - data that is created everywhere - in the cloud, at the edge, and on-prem. A different approach to data delivery is essential, one that is application-centric, rather than location- or technology-centric. Application owners and developers need a universal data layer that allows application and data portability across environments (on-premises, in the cloud or at the edge), with API-based access that is natural for cloud-native apps. This gives them fast and uniform data access without the expense, time or resources needed to migrate and move data for application use. The microservice nature of application service delivery in a cloud-native environment demands a degree of adaptability, portability, and efficiency. Fast access to data, regardless of where it lives, is essential for cloud-native, data-intensive applications, with data processing increasingly happening at the edge. It is the natural and optimal choice for persistent data storage for containerized applications offering the right balance of speed, scale, and portability that applications need to deliver services faster and more efficiently, whether in the data center or at the edge. ARTESCA is lightweight, enterprise-grade object storage software, purpose built for the demands of various cloud-native applications. It can start small on a single server and scale out easily in performance and capacity. Application owners and DevOps staff can easily manage persistent data storage infrastructures from anywhere, without being forced into becoming storage experts. Providing comprehensive support for the Amazon S3 API, with built-in geo-replication and federated data management for multi-cloud use cases, ARTESCA offers the scale and resilience needed by most data-intensive cloud applications, and enables a global view and smart lifecycle control of data across on-premises and cloud storage so application owners and developers can realize faster time to value.
