The new version of StorageGRID will be displayed at booth #D3 at the John B. Hynes Memorial Convention Center in Boston.
As we previously stated, NetApp's approach to object storage is with the StorageGRID Webscale software. The software will address a range of use cases, managing data placement according to cost, compliance, availability, and performance requirements, delivering the storage needed with speed, security, and scalability. StorageGRID Webscale runs on a virtualized server infrastructure with either NetApp E-series data storage systems or with third-party storage arrays. And is purpose-built for large archives, media repositories, and web data stores.
New features include:
- More software deployment options, including Docker Container support and the ability to install on bare-metal servers
- Simpler OpenStack storage deployments with Keystone integration, Swift ACL support and heat-less deployment
- Better multitenant control with the ability to monitor and control user capacity quotas
- Certification with Veritas Enterprise Vault to centralize retention management across email, files, social media, and more
