As we’ve previously stated, RING software is a software-defined storage platform that uses a parallel architecture that can be deployed across commodity x86 servers in order to provide storage services that scale linearly to hundreds of petabytes and billions of objects. RING is hardware-agnostic and supports SSD and HDD storage media. We use several Dell platform in our lab including a Dell PowerEdge 13G R730 Cluster as well as a PowerEdge R730xd we use for our VSAN cluster.
RING being software agnostic and needs no qualifications, meaning that it can be ran on several different types of Dell hardware from various generations. Not only does that mean that customers had a wide variety of capacity and performance selections to choose from, they can continue to use older generations of hardware as they add new pieces in for scale and performance needs. The combination of Scality and Dell is ideal for cloud service providers, media and entertainment companies, research institutions, and telecom providers.
