Today at the OpenStack Summit in Vancouver, Toshiba America Electronic Components, Inc. announced two new key value-based technologies that are geared for object storage, big data analytics, virtualization, and for active archival. These new technologies have the benefits of high capacity and high performance scale-out object storage and maximize uptime while reducing the overall mean time to repair. Toshiba will be having a demo of this new technology at its booth, P1, during the OpenStack Summit, May 18-22.

As enterprise deployments of scale-out object storage increase, key value technologies are becoming a more attractive choice to be adopted as part of mainstream performance and capacity-oriented business applications. Toshiba’s new key value-based object storage drives are enabled with scale-out storage software such as Ceph and are aimed at enterprise primary storage, unstructured data, information governance, analytical data, and for archival and cold storage. Toshiba is delivering a single class of product that can be provisioned for different workloads, delivering a “true software-defined storage infrastructure.”
One of the technologies Toshiba announced today is a multi-device storage solution designed to help enterprises meet growing data storage needs while reducing both capital expenditures and operating expenses. The solution integrates Ethernet, SSD, HDD, 64-bit compute, and an open source Linux platform all on a 3.5” form factor. The SSD will lower latency while the HDD adds capacity and throughput.
The other key value-based technology announced is an Ethernet based HDD that is optimized for shingled magnetic recording (SMR) media interface. This technology would be better suited for archive and cold data applications.
