Scalable Informatics Releases Unison Storage Cloud Appliance 

Scalable Informatics, Inc. (Scalable) today released the Unison storage cloud appliance and announced STAC report SUT: KDB131015, the first ever published report of STAC-M3 on a parallel file system.

The benchmarks were performed on a Unison appliance featuring two 8-core Intel Xeon E5-2687W CPUs, 48 direct-attached 3TB 7.2K drives, and 12 direct-attached 120GB SATA SSDs. Inktank’s Ceph Enterprise file system was presented as a single mount point and the databases were in a single directory, rather than splitting the database across many mount points, as is common practice for this benchmark. These attributes are unique to a distributed file system model and create opportunities to explore workflows with more than one client.

Unison is one of Scalable Informatics’ Fast Path Big Data appliances. It supports Object, Block, and File storage and eliminates data silos and storage complexity with a solution built specifically for multi-tenancy and cloud. The appliance provides feature-rich, dense, scale out storage for private clouds and large-scale virtual machine infrastructures.
