    Clustering with the Storado F16

    Clustering connects your servers under a unified namespace, managed through a single interface for seamless scalability. It ensures data accessibility with redundant storage across the cluster, maintaining availability during both planned and unplanned downtime.

    We deliver these clustering solutions using Ceph, an open-source platform designed for scalable and highly available storage.

    Equipped with NVMe drives, the Stornado F16 maximizes data throughput and efficiency by leveraging the PCIe interface for direct, high-speed CPU connections. This minimizes transfer times and latency, making it the ideal solution for high-demand environments such as big data analytics and real-time applications, ensuring your clusters operate at peak performance with minimal bottlenecks.
