Secret Tips for Cloud Economy: How to Store the Data and Save Costs

LONDON - Sept. 9, 2021 - PRLog -- Storage has always been a topic of high interest in the IT community. With the advent of virtualization, the storage sector has evolved into software-defined storage, which offers several advantages compared to traditional storage solutions: scalability, cost-effectiveness, security, recovery in case of disaster.

At Sardina, we work with leading open source technologies like OpenStack and Kubernetes. In most cases, we advise our customers to choose Ceph storage (https://ceph.io/en/) as the best solution for the private cloud. Let's see what benefits it has to offer.

Thanks to its capabilities to decouple data from physical hardware storage while using software abstraction layers and provide scaling and fault management monitoring, Ceph is an excellent choice for the private cloud environment. The system can successfully address considerable data volumes storage needs, making it optimal for cloud, Kubernetes, OpenStack. (https://www.openstack.org/)

Ceph is designed to be self-managed and self-healing; those features keep you from spending extra human resources and give you the time for more meaningful, fundamental business matters.

With FishOS (https://www.sardinasystems.com/fishos/), you're free to choose the storage system, based on Ceph or other systems, to select the one that suits you best. There are no boundaries for the decision so that you can pick any solution from the market. It will integrate smoothly and work accurately with our product, cloud management software FishOS. However, to save your time, efforts and costs, we suggest properly considering FishOS offer of storage usage.

It's not a secret that storage vendors charge you for storage volumes: the more you use – the more you pay. This is a typical pricing model in this industry. But FishOS can break the model because it works differently. What would you say if we offer to pay the same price no matter how much storage you use?

The FishOS pricing model makes it possible to pay a fixed fee based on the number of cores and expand storage volumes to the needed extension. No hidden costs; once set, it's up to you what storage capabilities are used. Furthermore, enjoying resizable storage, the customer gets many other options from the whole available FishOS package, including OpenStack and Kubernetes technologies, Service Manager and BeanCounter unique components or Zero-Downtime Upgrader to secure constant well-functioning workload operations.
