Red Hat has introduced a fresh open software-defined storage platform on Hewlett-Packard’s Grenoble, France-based customer center.
Customers have access to the combined Red Hat Storage and HP ProLiant SL4540 Gen8 offerings for managing big data workloads, Red Hat said Wednesday.
The two companies have also opened a portal for online demonstrations of the joint platform.
The HP ProLiant servers are designed to contain up to 60 storage drives and provide 240 terabytes of storage per rack.
Red Hat built its storage platform based on the Linux operating system and the GlusterFS distributed file system to connect individual servers to an integrated scale-out storage cluster.
