Scale-out NAS Storage for Full Flexibility and Highest Scalability

What does scale-out mean?

The scale-out principle is also known as "horizontal scaling". This refers to an external storage architecture that is used to expand existing servers with new storage capacities.

Scale-out storage solutions are designed in such a way that a NAS can be expanded by adding more nodes as required. This does not result in too low or too high capacities. An alternative option is the scale-up principle, which is aimed at the technical expansion of existing hardware.

Scale-out NAS Storage and their advantages

• Transparent investment costs From an economic point of view companies always have to consider adding more storage capacity. The purchase of hard disks has its purpose, but if the capacity utilisation is not given, such a purchase is simply uneconomical.With Scale-out Storage you can create a NAS (Network Attached Storage). Thanks to its simple expandability, it provides the resources you need. The purchase of large storage "in stock" is therefore no longer necessary.
• Intuitive storage expansion optionsThe scale-out storage architecture allows you to easily connect additional storage components repeatedly to your existing storage network when it reaches its performance limits. This creates a storage pool that can be integrated seamlessly into the cluster as a logical system.In addition to pure storage capacity, external storage clusters commonly have their own computing power and a storage controller. For example, if you connect a JBOD to your NAS, you benefit not only from its storage capacity, but also from increased performance for your entire server network.
• Storage expansion on demand - no long-term planning requiredBy leveraging the strengths of scale-out storage systems, organisations save themselves the hassle of planning ahead for their storage needs. Scale-out storage offers virtually unlimited scalability. A shortage of storage capacity can easily be compensated while effectively avoiding overcapacity.
