Pogo Linux StorageDirector scale-out and scale-up solutions can be configured for high-availability using three (or more) QuantaStor appliances in a storage layout that&#8217;s designed to support erasure-coding.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Multi-Tenancy_Storage_Architecture\"><\/span><strong>Multi-Tenancy <\/strong><strong>Storage Architecture<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>QuantaStor object storage clusters can be deployed using all-flash media or a hybrid mix of NVMe and HDDs for greater cost efficiency at scale. For hybrid configurations about 2% to 3% of the total capacity of the cluster must be flash based with NVMe media preferred.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_does_composable_disaggregated_infrastructure_hardware_play_into_implementing_multi-tenancy\"><\/span>How does composable disaggregated infrastructure hardware play into implementing multi-tenancy?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As end-user or service requirements change, multi-tenant configurations have kept pace, benefiting from advances in storage innovation. Composable disaggregated infrastructure (CDI) enables IT organizations to dynamically add hardware resources (compute, storage, networking) on-demand as needs grow.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, data center administrators no longer need to worry about available HDD slots in the servers, as additional capacity from NVMe-oF JBOFs can be added to any rack in the data center. This media can then be sent to any given storage cluster to easily expand those specific clusters as needs grow.<\/p>\n<p>Western Digital is a leader in this space with the new OpenFlex Data24 . The Data24 is an ethernet attached all-flash NVMe-oF storage enclosure that enables one to dynamically expand the storage of any server on the network without having to reconfigure the servers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Multi-tenant_Object_Storage_Solutions\"><\/span>Multi-tenant Object Storage Solutions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To accelerate the adoption of multi-tenant environments, we&#8217;ve partnered with <strong>OSNexus<\/strong> and <strong>Western Digital<\/strong> to provide data center users with a diverse range of data protection and security breach protection requirements an integrated hardware and software solution. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pogolinux.com\/products\/osnexus\/overview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pogo Linux StorageDirector appliances<\/a> have deep hardware integration with Western Digital high-performance, low-latency <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pogolinux.com\/blog\/why-leverage-nvme-ssds-on-premise-artificial-intelligence-machine-learning\/\">NVMe flash storage<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pogolinux.com\/blog\/nvme-over-fabrics-explained\/\">NVMe-over-Fabric networking<\/a>, and the powerful file-, block- and object storage backup capabilities in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pogolinux.com\/blog\/why-ceph-storage-cluster-data-center-cloud-edge-computing\/\">OSNexus software-defined storage platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to learn more about how Pogo Linux storage solutions enable secure multitenant environments that prevent ransomware attacks or a data loss event, give us a call at <strong>(888) 828-7646<\/strong>, email us at <a href=\"mailto:sales@www.pogolinux.com\">sales@www.pogolinux.com<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pogolinux.com\/blog\/book-meeting\/\">book a time calendar<\/a> to speak.
